Ethereum is the #1 choice for global financial institutions. Over the last few months, adoption has accelerated. Here are 35 stories of how institutions are building on Ethereum. 1/ @krakenfx launched xStocks on Ethereum, issuing tokenized versions of popular U.S. stocks and ETFs as ERC-20 tokens. Kraken’s eligible clients can now deposit and withdraw fully collateralized equities, directly on Ethereum. 2/ @OndoFinance launched Ondo Global Markets on Ethereum with 100 tokenized U.S. stocks & ETFs. 24/7 access to programmable equities, backed by real securities, is now available alongside DeFi integrations for lending, trading, and more. 3/ @ChinaAMC_HK launched its Select USD Money Market Fund on Ethereum, one of the first tokenized funds from a major Chinese asset manager. One of Asia’s largest firms (over $449B AUM) now provides access to high-quality, short-term USD instruments with 24/7 settlement. 4/ @Fidelity introduced the FDIT tokenized money market fund on Ethereum. The Fidelity Digital Interest Token (FDIT) brings the bank’s investors the speed of onchain settlement alongside the stability of traditional instruments. 5/ @Google announced the Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), enabling AI agents to autonomously execute payments using stablecoins on Ethereum. Built in collaboration with The Ethereum Foundation, Coinbase, MetaMask, and others, AP2 allows AI to transact securely, bridging the gap between automated intelligence and finance. 6/ @UBS, @PostFinance, @sygnumofficial, and the Swiss Bankers Association successfully piloted Deposit Tokens on Ethereum. By demonstrating legally binding cross-bank settlement on Ethereum’s public infrastructure, the proof-of-concept paves the way for programmable, instant, cross-institution settlement. 7/ Santander’s @openbank_es launched ETH trading services in Germany, allowing customers to buy, sell, and custody ETH directly through their bank accounts. This integration is a strong signal of institutional confidence in ETH under MiCa regulation. 8/ @AmericanExpress launched Amex Passport, blockchain-based travel stamps minted as NFTs on Ethereum L2 @base. Cardholders can now create an onchain record of experiences and memories from international trips, blending loyalty rewards with digital ownership. 9/ The first tokenized S&P 500 Index Fund licensed by @SPDJIndices, SPXA, was launched by @centrifuge on Base. 10/ SWIFT and 30 banks are designing a blockchain ledger to support tokenized assets and real-time, 24/7 cross-border payments alongside existing financial systems, starting with a prototype with Consensys. @swiftcommunity connecting 11,500 institutions globally will create a bridge between traditional finance and onchain value. 11/ @SocieteGenerale FORGE, an integrated subsidiary of the 161-year-old commercial bank, deployed EURCV & USDCV lending and trading on Ethereum DeFi protocols Morpho and Uniswap. One of the largest custodians in Europe now provides institutional-grade collateral and liquidity for DeFi markets. 12/ @Stripe expanded its crypto support on Ethereum to include stablecoin-based subscriptions and recurring billing. Hundreds of thousands of companies that use Stripe can now accept USDC for subscriptions with automatic renewals, building on Ethereum for lower-cost payments with near-instant settlement. 13/ @Securitize and @FGNexusio tokenized the FGNX stock on Ethereum, representing the first NASDAQ-listed preferred equity issued fully onchain. Ethereum is the platform to build programmable assets that bring public markets to the digital age. 14/ @AntGroup, the fintech behind @Alipay, launched @JovayNetwork, a L2 for institutional tokenization. The company behind one of the world's largest retail platforms is now building global institutional settlement for tokenized assets on Ethereum. 15/ @jpyc_official launched the world's first yen-pegged regulated stablecoin on Ethereum. Complaint, programmable yen transactions are now available worldwide, backed 1:1 by yen reserves under Japan’s Payment Services Act. 16/ @BNYglobal and Securitize announced a tokenized AAA-rated CLO fund on Ethereum. Institutional credit moving onchain brings liquidity and transparency to traditional asset classes. 17/ Google partnered with @Polymarket, integrating onchain prediction market data to Google search results. The largest search provider now leverages the Ethereum ecosystem as a primary source of truth. 18/ @StartaleGroup released the Startale App, a SuperApp for @soneium's growing Ethereum L2. Mainstream users in the Soneium L2 ecosystem can now access simple onchain interactions and rewards with a unified platform for wallets, assets, and apps. 19/ @jpmorgan migrated its tokenized deposit product, JPM Coin (JPMD), from its internal permissioned blockchain to Base. Moving from a private chain to an Ethereum L2 will meet demand from JPMorgan’s institutional clients for payments, collateral, and margin settlement on public infrastructure. 20/ @Mastercard announced it will build on Ethereum L2 @0xPolygon to expand its Crypto Credential program to self-custody wallets. Working with @mercuryo_io, the expansion will allow Mastercard users to send crypto using verified, human-readable aliases. 21/ @Amundi_ENG, Europe’s largest asset manager ($2.75T AUM), launched a tokenized share class of its euro money market fund on Ethereum mainnet. Bringing traditional cash management onchain unlocks 24/7 settlement and composability for euro-denominated capital. 22/ Sony Bank announced plans to launch a USD-pegged stablecoin on @soneium, its Ethereum L2, in early 2026. From gaming to finance, Sony is building its ecosystem’s home base on Ethereum. 23/ @WisdomTreeEU introduced the world’s first physically-backed ETP for @LidoFinance Staked Ether. The fund will provide European investors with regulated exposure to the spot price of stETH and its ETH staking rewards. 24/ The @CFTC announced a pilot program that will allow ETH, BTC, and USDC to be used as collateral in US derivatives markets, alongside new guidance on using tokenized assets as collateral. This marks a significant shift in how ETH and other digital assets can be integrated into regulated US markets. 25/ @BlackRock filed for a staked ETH ETF. Following the success of their spot ETH ETF, this filing seeks to unlock the value of Ethereum's native staking reward rate for traditional investors. 26/ The @ADI_Foundation, backed by IHC, announced the mainnet launch of institutional L2 @ADIChain_, part of the @zksync Elastic Network. Supported by the UAE's largest conglomerate, ADIChain will host the country's regulated stablecoins and aims to bring 1 billion people onchain across the Middle East, Asia and Africa. 27/ JP Morgan launched MONY, their first tokenized money market fund, on Ethereum mainnet. The firm seeded the fund with $100M of its own capital, signaling their commitment to public chain tokenization. 28/ @coinbase announced Coinbase Tokenize, built on Base, as their new end-to-end institutional platform for tokenizing RWAs. Combining issuance, custody, compliance, trading, and infrastructure, the new product will streamline the process of bringing assets like tokenized stocks, equities, funds, and real estate onchain in the Ethereum ecosystem. 29/ @RobinhoodApp added 500 tokenized assets on @arbitrum, bringing their platform to nearly 2000 assets tokenized. With over $14M in total tokenized value, Robinhood continues deepening their integration with Ethereum’s L2 ecosystem. 30/ @BlackRock, @Mastercard, and @FTI_Global partnered with the ADI Foundation in the UAE, builders of the ADIChain L2. The group will explore tokenized asset structures, digital asset regulatory frameworks, stablecoin settlement, and cross-border payment infrastructure. 31/ @SoFi became the first national US retail bank to issue a stablecoin (SoFiUSD) on a public, permissionless blockchain. Launched on Ethereum, SoFiUSD will first be used for faster, cheaper internal settlements for the fintech giant and its partners. 32/ @telcoin launched eUSD on Ethereum and Polygon, a regulated U.S. dollar stablecoin issued by Nebraska state-chartered digital asset depository institution Telcoin Digital Asset Bank. The launch marks another milestone in U.S.-regulated banks issuing stablecoins directly on public blockchains, bringing traditional regulated banking to the Ethereum ecosystem. 33/ @Grayscale distributed the first ETH staking rewards to ETHE ETF shareholders. In a first for US regulated products, investors received Ethereum’s native yield directly, proving that staked ETH ETFs can deliver the economic utility of the network. 34/ @MorganStanley filed for a Staked Ether ETF, doubling down on its crypto strategy. One of the world’s largest wealth managers is moving beyond spot exposure to capture Ethereum’s native staking yield for clients, signaling a shift to productive participation. 35/ The ADI Foundation partnered with M-Pesa to bring 60M users onchain. Africa’s largest mobile money platform is integrating blockchain rails to power instant cross-border payments and stablecoin transactions, merging massive fintech scale with Ethereum’s global settlement layer. — Ethereum is the trusted, global settlement layer for real-world adoption, used by institutions, governments, and enterprises worldwide.

2026 is the year that we take back lost ground in terms of self-sovereignty and trustlessness. Some of what this practically means: Full nodes: thanks to ZK-EVM and BAL, it will once again become easier to locally run a node and verify the Ethereum chain on your own computer. Helios: actually verify the data you're receiving from RPCs instead of blindly trusting it. ORAM, PIR: ask for data from RPCs without revealing which data you're asking, so you can access dapps without your access patterns being sold off to dozens of third parties all around the world. Social recovery wallets and timelocks: wallets that don't make you lose all your money if you misplace your seedphrase, or if an online or offline attacker extracts your seedphrase, and *also* don't make all your money backdoored by Google. Privacy UX: make private payments from your wallet, with the same user experience as making public payments. Privacy censorship resistance: private payments with the ERC-4337 mempool, and soon native AA FOCIL, without relying on the public broadcaster ecosystem. Application UIs: use more dapps from an onchain UI with IPFS, without relying on trusted servers that would lock you our of practical recovery of your assets if they went offline, and would give you a hijacked UI that steals your funds if they get hacked for even a millisecond. In many of these areas, over the last ten years we have seen serious backsliding in Ethereum. Nodes went from easy to run to hard to run. Dapps went from static pages to complicated behemoths that leak all your data to a dozen servers. Wallets went from routing everything through the RPC, which could be any node of your choice including on your own computer, to leaking your data to a dozen servers of their choice. Block building became more centralized, putting Ethereum transaction inclusion guarantees under the whims of a very small number of builders. In 2026, no longer. Every compromise of values that Ethereum has made up to this point - every moment where you might have been thinking, is it really worth diluting ourselves so much in the name of mainstream adoption - we are making that compromise no longer. It will be a long road. We will not get everything we want in the next Kohaku release, or the next hard fork, or the hard fork after that. But it will make Ethereum into an ecosystem that deserves not only its current place in the universe, but a much greater one. In the world computer, there is no centralized overlord. There is no single point of failure. There is only love. Milady.

What is tokenisation? And why does it matter? Michael Spiegel, Global Head of Transaction Banking at Standard Chartered Bank, shares his insights in the video below. Tokenisation is no longer experimental, and Swift’s role is to help the industry connect tokenised networks in the same way it connected fiat payment rails - safely, securely, and at scale. By linking tokenised assets across networks and jurisdictions, the industry can better support trade, payments, and economic growth worldwide. This is not just about technology; it’s about enabling finance to move at the speed modern economies demand. 👉Want to know more? swift.com/about-us/innovate-… #Tokenisation #DigitalAssets #SwiftCommunity
