TREE NEWS update: The Ethereum Ecosystem Summit, hosted by Sharplink, Visa and BlockUnion with Lido Institutional and ETH HK Hub as co-hosts, was held during TOKEN2049 Singapore and drew more than 1,800 registrations. Speakers including Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin and Sharplink CEO Joseph Chalom discussed institutional infrastructure, stablecoin payments, asset tokenization and agentic finance. Lido also unveiled Lido Lend, a lending product based on a modified Morpho Blue fork that still requires a Lido DAO governance vote.

The headline number is registrations, not commitments, so the institutional interest on display is better read as intent than adoption. The presence of payments and tokenization incumbents like Visa and BlockUnion alongside Ethereum infrastructure names suggests the RWA conversation is consolidating around a few large venues rather than fragmenting. Lido Lend matters most: a Morpho Blue fork still awaiting a DAO vote shows that even a major staking protocol now treats lending as a governance-gated extension, not a given. Whether that vote passes, and whether agentic finance moves from panel topic to product, is the open question.
