Consensys CEO: The entire global economy will be tokenized; this trend is inevitable.

According to a report by CoinDesk, Joseph Lubin, founder and CEO of Consensys and co-founder of Ethereum, stated at Consensus Miami 2026 that almost the entire global economy will be tokenized, a trend that is no longer experimental but inevitable. Lubin pointed out that Ethereum's early design allows anyone to issue assets without creating a new blockchain, a feature that puts it in a highly advantageous position as traditional financial institutions bring real-world assets such as stablecoins and government bonds onto the blockchain. Ethereum, with its Layer 2 scaling, synchronous composability, and ETH's role as a "trust commodity," is mature enough to attract traditional financial institutions and regulators. Lubin also noted that transactions across multiple networks will consume ETH, and as more economic activity goes on-chain, ETH may acquire monetary attributes.
