Kaiko released its Blockchain Ecosystem Ranking report for Q2 2025, ranking Ethereum as the top blockchain ecosystem. Ethereum excelled across governance, integrations, liquidity, operational efficiency, and security, supported by $7B in RWA TVL, broad DeFi integration, and strong institutional adoption. The price of ETH has outperformed BTC since early July. The report also ranked Arbitrum in second place, highlighting its outstanding operational efficiency and robust integrations.

EigenLayer and the Liquid Collective released “The Productive Treasury”, a guide for digital asset treasury companies to strategically make their reserves productive. The report notes that traditional treasury allocations such as cash and money market funds are struggling to preserve purchasing power amid persistent inflation. The report reinforces ETH staking as the Internet Bond, a protocol-native, sustainable yield independent of traditional credit markets. Liquid Staking Tokens provide treasuries with institutional-grade access to staking, offering liquidity, compliance, and reduced risk. The report positions ETH as a future-ready reserve asset.

Chainlink partnered with SBI Group, one of Japan’s largest financial conglomerates with over $200 billion in assets, to accelerate the adoption of tokenized digital assets. SBI will leverage Chainlink’s CCIP for cross-chain tokenized Real-World Assets (RWAs), SmartData to improve liquidity and efficiency for tokenized funds, and Proof of Reserve to ensure transparency for regulated stablecoins. According to an SBI Digital Asset Holdings survey, 76% of financial institutions plan to invest in tokenized securities.

BitMine Immersion Technologies Inc. purchased an additional 190,500 ETH, bringing its treasury to 1.71 million ETH worth over $7.5 billion. With its ambitious goal of owning 5% of the ETH supply, BitMine is on track to overtake MicroStrategy as the world’s largest digital asset treasury company. BMNR stock is also among the top 20 most liquid U.S. stocks, averaging $2.8 billion in daily trading volume.
