Ethereum Founder: "Treasury Companies Expand Accessibility to Ethereum… Excessive Leverage Is Risky"

With the recent increase in companies adopting Ethereum (ETH) as a strategic reserve asset, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin shared his views on the matter.

On the 16th (KST), in an interview with Bankless, Vitalik stated, "Ethereum treasury companies can increase accessibility to Ethereum for ordinary investors by pooling funds from investors to acquire Ethereum," highlighting "clear value in this."

However, he also pointed out risks associated with excessive leverage. Vitalik remarked, "Participants in the Ethereum ecosystem are generally responsible. If companies are run properly, there is certainly long-term positivity," but also noted, "Excessive leverage can sometimes trigger price declines."

Meanwhile, when asked whether there is a particular Ethereum treasury company he is paying attention to, Vitalik replied, "Perhaps the largest Ethereum treasury company could be the U.S. government."
