Corporations bet big on Ethereum as treasury

Corporations are accelerating their Ether purchases, viewing the network as essential infrastructure for the digital economy, according to NoOnes CEO Ray Youssef.

Youssef described Ethereum as a “hybrid between tech equity and digital currency,” increasingly appealing to treasury strategists focused on utility, not just passive storage.

Youssef said ETH’s staking yield, programmability, and regulatory alignment are drawing forward-looking companies. Ethereum currently hosts the majority of tokenized assets and stablecoins, commanding 58.1% of the $13.4 billion real-world asset market.

With its growing dominance and enterprise use cases, Ethereum is fast becoming the reserve currency of choice for companies operating in tokenized finance.
