Joe Lubin forecasts Ethereum treasury strategies will reshape Wall Street perception
Ethereum and Consensys co-founder Joe Lubin said companies adopting ETH treasury strategies will play a critical role in communicating the second-largest digital asset’s value to Wall Street, as major financial institutions ramp up blockchain use and process around 24 million transactions daily.
Lubin made the statement during an interview with CNBC on July 8 in response to queries about the rising trend of Ethereum treasury adoption.
According to Lubin:
“It’s about telling the Ethereum story. What does Wall Street pay attention to? It pays attention to being able to make money.”
He contrasted Bitcoin’s strong narrative with Ethereum’s future-focused positioning, explaining that while Bitcoin has a value proposition people “can understand and get behind,” Ethereum has spent the last decade building scalable infrastructure in anticipation that internet activity will shift to Web3.
Lubin described Web3 as the natural decentralization of the web and said that Ethereum is now scalable, affordable, and legally usable in the US.
However, he added that regulatory hurdles under former SEC Chair Gary Gensler made it unattractive for projects to build and issue tokens, delaying broader consumer and enterprise adoption.
‘The biggest splash’
Lubin said that treasury strategies are emerging as a solution to address Ethereum’s current supply-demand imbalance. He added that holding ETH in treasuries is a strong business model and will be critical to stabilizing market conditions as more applications are built on Ethereum.
He pointed to SharpLink Gaming as an example, describing it as the largest ETH treasury company so far, with holdings exceeding 200,000 ETH. While other firms like Bitmain have also adopted similar strategies, Lubin said SharpLink has made “the biggest splash.”
According to Lubin:
“Because decentralization is the direction of travel for the world. We believe that we’re going to see Ether and Bitcoin continue to rise over the next years and decades as we paradigm shift to more and more decentralization.”
He added that his team is acquiring tens of millions of dollars in Ethereum daily through multiple channels and plans to “stay the course.”
Lubin concluded that these treasury strategies will play a key role in cementing Ethereum’s relevance in traditional finance as the blockchain shifts from infrastructure building to mass application deployment.

Goldman Sachs believes that the AI investment cycle is currently in the "trough of disillusionment," but this is not the first time. The core contradiction lies in the fact that the business models of new cloud computing providers are highly dependent on end-user returns from AI spending, while currently "there are basically zero companies that can attribute profits to AI." Social Capital founder Palihapitiya has clearly defined an 18-month key window, during which the market will decide which AI business models are sustainable and which are not.
Anthropic's Core Concern: Revenue Can Be Withdrawn at Any Time, but Computing Power Costs Are Locked in for up to 20 Years
Zheshang Securities believes that Anthropic's revenue is mainly based on usage-based billing, with remaining performance obligations covering only about 5.1 months of annualized revenue, while compute power costs are already locked in with $895.4 billion in irrevocable commitments, some extending as far as 2045. Revenues can be reduced at any time, but costs are non-exitable, creating a highly asymmetric maturity gap between the two—this is the company's real core constraint.
Triple Pressure from the Federal Reserve, Treasury, and Congress; Goldman Sachs: Liquidity Crisis May Occur in 2027
Goldman Sachs warns that the reserve ratio of bank assets has dropped to around 11%, only slightly above the crisis trough of 2019. In the second half of 2027, a deadlock in debt ceiling negotiations will force the Treasury to rebuild the TGA, triggering a "perfect storm" of a sharp drop in reserves and a surge in T-bill supply; combined with stalled money market fund buying, this will create a huge liquidity black hole. The Federal Reserve could be forced into the awkward position of lowering interest rates and launching large-scale bond purchases to rescue the market.
