According to Jihoon Song, enterprises including financial institutions can maintain governance over their own Layer 2 solutions while leveraging Ethereum’s global, neutral, and censorship-resistant infrastructure. Song emphasizes that Ethereum empowers these institutions to feel ownership, rather than dependency, which underpins increased institutional adoption and could drive higher transaction volumes and liquidity in the broader crypto market (source: Jihoon Song on Twitter, May 14, 2025). This trend supports Ethereum’s position as a foundational blockchain for enterprise-scale DeFi solutions, potentially increasing demand for ETH and related L2 tokens among traders.
