Ethereum is a global network that allows users to control their assets, data, and identity. As a user-controlled internet, ETH gives users direct ownership of their assets. Compared to traditional bank accounts (which are just records in someone else’s database), assets on Ethereum are truly owned by the user.
The network has over 292 million ETH holders, with an average of 20.4 million transactions per day. In terms of savings yields, lending applications on Ethereum offer annualized returns of 4-8%, far exceeding traditional banks’ 0.5%, and users can withdraw funds at any time. For cross-border payments, sending stablecoins via Ethereum takes only 12 minutes and costs just $0.20, significantly faster and cheaper than traditional wire transfers, which take 3-5 days and cost around $50. Regarding financial accessibility, users can obtain instant credit based on collateral without credit checks or minimum balances, and without permission.
Due to its transparent open-source code, 100% network uptime, and a decade of stable operation since 2015, Ethereum has gained trust and adoption from mainstream financial institutions such as Mastercard, Visa, and JPMorgan. The network adheres to core principles of direct ownership, open rules, global accessibility, and free entry, allowing anyone to use it without credit checks, minimum balances, or account approval.
