The new Etherealize report makes a strong case for ETH L2s. The report shows that ETH L2s are already shaping how institutions move money, settle assets, and run global operations.
ETH L2s are developing into infrastructure that banks, fintechs, and payment providers can actually use.
What Are ETH L2s?
ETH L2s, or Ethereum Layer 2 solutions, are networks built on top of the Ethereum network. Ethereum is the foundation that provides access to many unique features. ETH L2s let businesses handle large volumes of activity while still relying on Ethereum for security and final settlement.
The most harmful myth that keeps you from making money:
“L2s block fees from going to L1 and hurt ETH.”
That take comes from people with zero depth on the topic, often pushing AI-written content.
Reality is the opposite.

Types of Ethereum Layer 2 solutions
There are a few main types:
- Optimistic Rollups assume transactions are valid but allow challenges if they suspect fraud.
- ZK Rollups use advanced cryptography to prove transactions are correct upfront, making them faster.
- Validiums and Optimiums offer efficiency but rely on external data sources, which introduces more trust assumptions.

Why do ETH L2s Matter for Institutions?
ETH L2s present enormous benefits:
- Cost & Speed: It is also cheaper and faster than the entire Ethereum main layer.
- Privacy & Compliance: Companies do not need to disclose sensitive data to prove their regulatory compliance.
- Interoperability and Customization: You can customize them to meet specific needs. You will still stay connected to Ethereum while you do this.

Public L2s are available to anyone, whereas they use private or permissioned L2s to control and supervise regulated businesses. Institutions with high-value settlements can operate on Ethereum L1 and L2s in their day-to-day operations.
Why Act Now?
Stablecoins settled over $27 trillion last year, and major firms like J.P. Morgan and BlackRock are already building on Ethereum. The EU, US, and Asia are becoming less uncertain due to regulatory clarity. First adopters of the ETH Layer 2 solution can influence standards for tokenized assets and identity, gaining a strategic advantage.
Tom Lee’s BitMine has bought 138,452 $ETH worth $437.7 million last week.
They now hold 3.86M ETH worth $12.4B (3.2%) of the entire supply, making them the #1 ETH treasury in the world.
