[Vitalik Buterin Warns of Two Major Threats to Ethereum from Wall Street Institutions] Odaily Planet Daily News: At Devconnect, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin warned that if BlackRock and other large institutions continue to expand their Ethereum holdings, Ethereum will face two risks: (1) Builders with a decentralized mindset may be pushed out, thereby weakening the community; (2) Base layer optimizations tailored for institutions (e.g., block times of around 150 ms) may make it difficult for ordinary users to run nodes, leading to geographic/network centralization. Currently, nine Wall Street companies offering Ethereum ETFs collectively hold over $18 billion worth of ETH, with corporate treasuries holding an additional $18 billion. Buterin emphasized that Ethereum should focus on being a 'global, permissionless, and censorship-resistant protocol' to maintain its unique value.
