Rewiring Wall Street with Ethereum

Finance is running on outdated rails. Settlement takes days, capital gets trapped, and institutions are weighed down by infrastructure built for another century.

Etherealize is building the next generation of financial infrastructure: Trading, settlement, and privacy systems that move Wall Street onto Ethereum. Backed by Electric Capital, Paradigm, and leaders across Wall Street and Ethereum, we’re creating the rails for trillions in assets to move onchain faster, safer, and built for scale.

Our Mission

Etherealize is building the rails that move Wall Street onto Ethereum. Our product suite delivers institutional-grade infrastructure across three core pillars:

Our Story

Ethereum had its first great transformation with the Merge, proving it could scale, secure trillions in value, and serve as the foundation for global markets. As institutional appetite has surged, one thing was missing: a dedicated team to help Wall Street adopt it.

That’s why we built Etherealize. Backed by leaders across both Wall Street and Web3, we mobilized to seize this once-in-a-generation opportunity.

From the start, we’ve been on the front lines:

Meeting with banks, asset managers, sovereigns, and hedge funds to bring Ethereum into the boardroom.

Helping bring tokenized assets and new L2 networks to Ethereum.

Representing Ethereum in Washington — from the Treasury and SEC to Congress and the White House.

Establishing Ethereum’s institutional narrative as the most secure, decentralized, and credible foundation for global finance.

Today, Etherealize is more than a voice for Ethereum. We’re building the rails that will move trillions of dollars of institutional assets onchain that meet Wall Street’s demands for scale, compliance, and security.

The race to rewire global finance has begun. Etherealize is here to lead it.

Our vision is simple:

Ethereum will become the backbone of global finance.

Ethereum will become the backbone of global finance.

Trillions of dollars in assets will be tokenized and settled onchain: faster, safer, and more resilient than today’s outdated rails.

Etherealize is building the infrastructure to make this future not just possible, but inevitable.
