CoinVoice has learned that, according to Coindesk, Mike Silagadze, CEO and co-founder of ether.fi, believes that the next phase of the Ethereum network will no longer be dominated by speculation, but will be more focused on financial products familiar to ordinary users.
Silagadze stated that 2025 will be a turning point for Ethereum. As institutional investors flood in, staking in ETFs is limited, but the development of the Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) is progressing rapidly. The DAT undoubtedly has a positive impact on Ethereum’s price.
Regarding 2026, Silagadze believes that Ethereum’s financial ecosystem will continue to mature. The entire Neobank movement is showing rapid growth, with many companies entering the space and seeing opportunities for expansion. As stablecoins become increasingly integrated into the global financial system, new banking models represent one of the clearest paths toward widespread adoption.
