Ethereum’s appeal to institutions isn’t about high throughput or faster transactions—it’s about never going down.
That’s the message Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin delivered in a recent interview with CNBC at Cannes, where he emphasized that Ethereum’s uninterrupted track record is what’s winning over institutional investors.
“Many institutions tell us directly they prefer Ethereum because it is stable, reliable, and does not crash,” Buterin said, pointing to the network’s flawless uptime since launch—a rare feat in the crypto space.
Speaking at EthCC in Paris, Buterin outlined Ethereum’s development roadmap and described how recent institutional interest is putting its core values to the test. He highlighted a growing institutional focus on privacy, fairness, and predictable execution—elements that, he argued, now matter more than raw technical performance.
Tomasz Stańczak, newly appointed co-executive director of the Ethereum Foundation, echoed Buterin’s view. He said institutions are drawn to Ethereum’s combination of continuous innovation and consistent principles like security and censorship resistance. For firms dealing in stablecoins and tokenized assets, guaranteed execution and neutral infrastructure are becoming critical.
