ETH Labs has set an ambitious goal of helping ETH become a trillion-dollar asset, viewing this as a key 'North Star' for their work. They believe Ethereum's unique position as a potential global hub for internet finance is crucial for this growth. The organization plans to de-risk Ethereum's position and define ETH's role to achieve this valuation.
“So really to me, internally at least, our prompt has been, what does it take for ETH to become a trillion dollar asset? There's not that many trillion dollar assets. There's a bunch of trillion dollar asset categories. There's not that many individual trillion dollar assets on Earth.”
“So what does it take for ETH to be a trillion dollar asset? And for us, that will be one of our North Stars. And again, it would, I think, be a bit full of ourselves if we came up today here and we had the answer for how to make ETH a trillion dollar asset.”
“At its peak, Ether was at 600 billion, which is somewhat within striking distance of a trillion dollar asset.”
