Vitalik: Many institutions value Ethereum because of its stability, reliability, and lack of downtime.

Vitalik Buterin stated in an interview with CNBC in Cannes that people thought institutional investors only cared about size and speed—but in practice, the opposite is true. Many institutions have said that they value Ethereum because Ethereum is stable and reliable and does not crash. They hope that future generations will look back and see a network that truly provides open, free, and permissionless access to the masses. Tomasz Stańczak, the new co-executive director of the Ethereum Foundation, added that institutions choose Ethereum for the same core reason: Ethereum has not stopped for a moment in ten years. When institutions send orders to the market, they want to be absolutely sure that their orders are treated fairly, that no one is favored, and that transactions are actually executed upon delivery. As stablecoins and tokenized assets become mainstream, these guarantees become increasingly valuable. [Foresight News]
