ether.fi CEO: New crypto bank will drive Ethereum's growth in 2026

2026/01/04 23:09

PANews reported on January 4th, citing CoinDesk, that ether.fi CEO and co-founder Mike Silagadze, looking ahead to 2026, stated that Ethereum's next phase will be led by financial products familiar to ordinary users, rather than speculation. He sees 2025 as a turning point for Ethereum, marked by a large influx of institutional investors. While staking within ETFs remains restricted, other institutional tools such as Digital Asset Treasurys (DATs) are progressing faster. He revealed that many institutions have already deployed on ether.fi, calling these early adopters "pioneers at the forefront of technology," and added that DATs have played a positive role in driving Ethereum's price.

Silagadze is optimistic about 2026, believing the Ethereum financial ecosystem will continue to mature. He points out that the crypto-banking movement is booming, with numerous companies entering the field. In his view, digital banking is one of the clear paths to drive the continued adoption of Ethereum, especially with the increasing use of stablecoins in global finance. Compared to ETFs, these platforms allow users to participate more directly in on-chain activities and earn rewards. Finally, he emphasizes that Ethereum's success in 2026 depends on its ability to provide practical functionality at scale.

(Photo by Paul Natkin/Getty Images) Getty Images Singer Lou Gramm has a vivid memory of recording the ballad “Waiting for a Girl Like You” at New York City’s Electric Lady Studio for his band Foreigner more than 40 years ago. Gramm was adding his vocals for the track in the control room on the other side of the glass when he noticed a beautiful woman walking through the door. “She sits on the sofa in front of the board,” he says. “She looked at me while I was singing. And every now and then, she had a little smile on her face. I’m not sure what that was, but it was driving me crazy. “And at the end of the song, when I’m singing the ad-libs and stuff like that, she gets up,” he continues. “She gives me a little smile and walks out of the room. And when the song ended, I would look up every now and then to see where Mick [Jones] and Mutt [Lange] were, and they were pushing buttons and turning knobs. They were not aware that she was even in the room. So when the song ended, I said, ‘Guys, who was that woman who walked in? She was beautiful.’ And they looked at each other, and they went, ‘What are you talking about? We didn’t see anything.’ But you know what? I think they put her up to it. Doesn’t that sound more like them?” “Waiting for a Girl Like You” became a massive hit in 1981 for Foreigner off their album 4, which peaked at number one on the Billboard chart for 10 weeks and…
