Banks Likely to Choose Ethereum for Finance, Says Raoul Pal

Top crypto executives are making a stronger call on Ethereum’s role in traditional finance. In their view, banks will prefer Ethereum when real money, real assets, and real settlement move on-chain.

Real Vision’s Raoul Pal says Wall Street is already moving toward blockchain infrastructure. The remaining question is not whether banks adopt blockchain, but which network they trust most. His bet is on Ethereum, the largest DeFi network globally.

Why Banks May Choose Ethereum

Pal said large financial institutions care most about uptime, resilience, scale, and proven history.

Banks do not usually bet core systems on untested technology. They prefer infrastructure with a long operating record, deep liquidity, large developer support, and clear security standards. This is where Ethereum stands out.

He said, “The entire banking system will go to $ETH,” adding that finance will remain multi-chain rather than single-chain. The argument is that decision-makers choose systems that reduce career and operational risk.

Israel-Lebanon Ceasefire Begins Today After Trump Announcement

President Trump announced Thursday that Israel and Lebanon have agreed to a 10-day ceasefire beginning at 5 PM ET today, April 16, following direct conversations with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

President Trump announced Thursday that Israel and Lebanon have agreed to a 10-day ceasefire, beginning at 5 PM ET today, following what he described as “excellent conversations” with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. “These two Leaders have agreed that in order to achieve PEACE between their Countries, they will formally begin a 10 Day CEASEFIRE at 5 P.M. EST,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Trump said he has directed Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine to work toward a lasting peace agreement. He also invited Aoun and Netanyahu to the White House for what he called “the first meaningful talks between Israel and Lebanon since 1983.”

What Led to the Ceasefire

The announcement came after a turbulent morning of diplomacy. Lebanese President Aoun initially declined to speak directly with Netanyahu during a call with Secretary Rubio, with Washington signaling it “understands Lebanon’s position.” Trump then personally called Aoun, and the ceasefire announcement followed within hours.

The deal grew out of direct negotiations that began Tuesday between the Lebanese and Israeli ambassadors to the United States, the first such talks between the two countries in decades. Lebanon had insisted on a ceasefire as a precondition for any broader engagement, while committing to disarm Hezbollah over time.

Iran’s chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said Thursday morning that “a ceasefire in Lebanon is as important as a ceasefire in Iran,” framing th

Adam Back, One of the Satoshi Nakamoto Candidates, Has Proposed a New Idea for Bitcoin

As discussions intensify in the cryptocurrency world regarding the potential threat of quantum computers to the Bitcoin network, a new approach recently put forward by Adam Back, who is also claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, has attracted attention.

Back introduced a different perspective within the developer community by advocating for optional upgrades rather than a mandatory transition in the process of making Bitcoin quantum resilient.

Speaking at the Paris Blockchain Week event, Back argued that changes to the system should be implemented in a controlled and gradual manner. “Preparation is critical; it’s much safer to implement changes in a controlled way rather than acting hastily in a crisis,” Back said, also highlighting the Bitcoin network’s capacity for rapid coordination in emergencies. Recalling that previously discovered security vulnerabilities could be fixed within hours, Back stated that consensus could be reached quickly in critical moments.

Back’s proposal differs significantly from BIP-361, a more stringent version developed by developers. This proposal, drafted by Jameson Lopp and other developers, was updated on April 15th and incorporated into the Bitcoin codebase under the title “Post-Quantum Transition and Deprecation of Traditional Signatures.” The proposal envisions the gradual deactivation of addresses vulnerable to quantum attacks over five years and the freezing of assets that do not transition (including Bitcoins believed to belong to Satoshi Nakamoto).

Liquidity inventory is where XRP can truly capture
If fees and reserves set the baseline, liquidity is the upside.

XRP captures the most value when it becomes the bridge asset or quote asset that market makers and institutions must hold as working capital to route flows and quote tight spreads.

It is the same mechanism that gives major currencies their durable monetary premium. So, this demand is not driven by tiny fees. Instead, it is
