Vitalik Buterin: Many institutions value Ethereum because it is stable and reliable and will not go down

Cryptocurrency founders, developers, and some institutional giants gathered at the Ethereum Community Conference (EthCC) in Cannes, France, where institutional adoption of Ethereum is accelerating, with BlackRock, Deutsche Bank, Coinbase, and Kraken all building directly into its orbit.
Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, told CNBC in Cannes that people think institutional investors only care about size and speed - but in practice, the opposite is true. Many institutions say they value Ethereum because it is stable and reliable, without downtime, and 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 the core reasons why institutions choose Ethereum are the same. For a decade, Ethereum has not stopped for a moment. When institutions send orders to the market, they want to make absolutely sure that their orders are treated fairly, that no one has a preference, and that transactions are actually executed on delivery. As stablecoins and tokenized assets become mainstream, these guarantees become increasingly valuable.
