According to DL News, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin warned at the Devconnect conference in Buenos Aires that if institutions such as BlackRock continue to accumulate ETH, Ethereum will face two major existential threats.
Nine Wall Street companies currently hold more than $18 billion in ETH, and analysts predict that institutional holdings could exceed the total supply of Ethereum by 10%. Vitalik pointed out two major risks:
Threat 1: Driving away core developers, institutional dominance will alienate builders who truly care about decentralization, and the core community may be lost.
Threat 2: Wrong technology choices, institutional pressure may drive inappropriate technology decisions, such as 150 milliseconds block time, which is conducive to high-frequency trading, but results in ordinary users unable to operate nodes, resulting in geographical centralization.
Vitalik emphasizes solutions: focusing on global, permissionless, censorship-resistant protocol features, maintaining a strong core community, and upholding the values that distinguish Ethereum from traditional finance.
