Consensys founder Joseph Lubin optimistic about Ethereum's long-term development potential

On February 18, Consensys founder and CEO, as well as Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin, stated in an interview in Hong Kong that the driving force of the digital asset economy is functional utility rather than speculative power. He believes that bitcoin should not currently be regarded as a traditional safe-haven asset, and emphasized that Ethereum’s native cryptocurrency ETH has stronger practicality in decentralized applications, smart contracts, and ecosystem activities. Lubin pointed out that institutional participation is deepening, with major banks and trading platforms building on Ethereum technology, indicating that Ethereum is transitioning to the next generation of financial infrastructure.
