Consensys CEO: The entire global economy will be tokenized, and this trend is inevitable

By: rootdata|2026/05/06 09:42:01

According to CoinDesk, Joseph Lubin, founder and CEO of Consensys and co-founder of Ethereum, stated at Consensus Miami 2026 that almost all economies worldwide will be tokenized, and this trend is no longer experimental but inevitable.

Lubin pointed out that Ethereum's early design allows anyone to issue assets without creating a new blockchain, which positions it favorably in the process of traditional financial institutions bringing real-world assets like stablecoins and government bonds on-chain. Ethereum has matured enough through Layer 2 scaling, synchronous composability, and the role of ETH as a "trust commodity" to attract traditional financial institutions and regulators. Lubin also noted that transactions across multiple networks will consume ETH, and as more economic activities go on-chain, ETH may possess monetary properties.
