Deep Tide TechFlow News, February 12 — According to CoinPost, Startale Group CEO Sohta Watanabe, a blockchain technology development company in Japan, stated at the “Ethereum Shift 2026” event that the future development key is comprehensive asset on-chainization rather than just cryptocurrencies. He pointed out that Ethereum has reduced transaction costs to one-tenth through the Fusaka upgrade, and its security advantages make it the preferred choice for financial infrastructure. Watanabe analyzed the three generations of crypto asset evolution: Bitcoin as the first generation serving as digital gold, Ethereum as the second generation similar to Linux, and the current third generation built by enterprises on L2 or L1. He believes the US is advancing on-chainization of financial markets, with future stocks, real estate, and other assets achieving 24/7 trading and instant settlement of stablecoins, but Japan is about four years behind the US in this regard.
