Consensys Proposes Ethereum as Key Infrastructure for ‘Trustware’ Era
- The global economy spends over $9.3 trillion annually on trust infrastructure, including insurance and legal systems.
- Ethereum has secured $220 billion in High-Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA) on-chain, outperforming competitors like Solana ($20.3 billion) and Avalanche ($3.7 billion).
- Consensys predicts ETH could reach $4,900 by the end of 2025 and $15,800 by 2028 based on a ‘cost-to-corrupt’ model.
- The model assumes $1 trillion in stablecoins and $500 billion in tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) by the end of the forecast period.
- Currently, the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies is only about 0.3% of global wealth.
As Ethereum approaches its tenth anniversary, Consensys emphasizes its evolving role as critical infrastructure for a new era of digital trust known as “trustware.” This transition is anticipated to increase demand for Ethereum significantly, particularly through its applications in decentralized finance (DeFi) and stablecoins.
With predictions suggesting ETH could reach $15,800 by the end of the decade based on robust asset security models, Ethereum’s foundational innovations position it as a key player in future financial systems.(Source)
