TechFlow News, June 14: According to a CoinDesk report, Vivek Raman, co-founder of Etherealize, stated in an interview that Ethereum’s ecosystem has largely completed its foundational infrastructure development. However, its actual adoption scale and long-term value have yet to be fully reflected in ETH’s market performance.
Raman believes that as real-world assets (RWAs), stablecoins, and other financial products continue migrating on-chain, the market will ultimately reassess ETH’s core role—not merely as a tradable asset, but as a critical value carrier underpinning the network’s security and operational integrity.
On governance, Raman emphasized that the Ethereum Foundation should not serve as a central coordinator or decision-making hub. Instead, it should focus on upholding Ethereum’s long-standing core principles: security, censorship resistance, privacy protection, and open standards.
Regarding technical direction, he stressed that Ethereum must continue investing in long-term fundamental research—particularly advancing zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs, privacy infrastructure, and quantum-resistant capabilities—to ensure the network remains competitive and secure for decades to come.
Raman’s perspective reflects a view held by some Ethereum supporters today: although ETH’s price performance has lagged behind certain trending assets in the short term, as on-chain finance continues expanding, Ethereum’s value as a global settlement layer and asset issuance platform is poised to receive fuller market recognition and pricing.
