In early July 2026, an Ethereum‑focused nonprofit was launched with the goal of drawing banks into the blockchain ecosystem. A month later, the newly formed Ethereum Institutional Coalition announced the close of its first funding round, securing backing from more than 100 institutions, including BitMNR, Sharplink and Ethereum co‑founders Joseph Lubin and Mihai Alisie. The capital will be used to speed up on‑chain tokenisation, stablecoin issuance and settlement infrastructure, with a roadmap that targets full institutional deployment on Ethereum by the end of 2026. The coalition’s formation and fundraising reflect a broader industry shift toward using Ethereum for real‑world asset tokenisation, as stablecoin volumes exceed $300 billion and tokenised assets total about $29 billion.
