Vitalik Buterin and Etherealize co-founder and CEO Vivek Raman, supported by the Ethereum Foundation, warned that Wall Street's renewed enthusiasm for private, permissioned "consortium chains" is recreating a fragmented system, undermining the interoperability and liquidity that blockchain should bring, akin to "race to the bottom." He pointed out the rise of gated networks such as Digital Asset's Canton Network, Circle's ARC, and Stripe's Tempo, reminiscent of the R3 and Hyperledger consortium chains 2.0 from years past, where institutions will ultimately find themselves in a situation of competing consortium chains, needing permission or membership to participate.Raman emphasized that the Ethereum mainnet should serve as a globally open, permissionless foundation layer similar to HTTP, where institutions can overlay permission and privacy features at the application layer or L2 to achieve maximum interoperability and liquidity. Etherealize is committed to attracting TradFi to embrace Ethereum, which has already hosted billions of dollars in tokenized assets and supported a large amount of DeFi settlements. The company received seed funding from Buterin and the foundation in January 2025 and completed a $40 million Series A financing in the same year.He cited examples such as BlackRock's new fund based on Ethereum, stating that once regulations are clear, institutional funds are more inclined towards open network tracks that are not proprietary; choosing consortium chains would require paying the consortium and being bound by its rules, with incentives for non-early members quickly fading. Christian Catalini, founder of the MIT Cryptoeconomics Lab, also pointed out that if permissioned networks driven by enterprise sales become mainstream, some competitive benefits of blockchain may not be realized.

According to Talking Biz News citing Courthouse News Service, The Wall Street Journal requested a federal judge on Wednesday afternoon to dismiss the defamation lawsuit filed by Binance. The lawsuit targets the newspaper's reports regarding Binance covering up internal investigations, obstructing compliance, and allowing sanctioned entities to trade.In the motion to dismiss, The Wall Street Journal stated that Binance's complaint from March 2026 failed to prove actual malice at the time the relevant reports were published. Binance claimed that the reports were false because it had issued a denial statement to the newspaper, but the newspaper argued that merely repeating a self-defensive denial is insufficient to constitute a defamation claim. During the hearing, The Wall Street Journal's lawyer pointed out that Binance did not deny the core content of the three reports.

According to CoinDesk, Summer Mersinger, CEO of the Blockchain Association and former commissioner of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), published an article responding to the Wall Street Journal's editorial on August 4, accusing it of a fundamental misreading of the Clarity Act.Mersinger stated that the bill explicitly prohibits stablecoin rewards that are equivalent to bank deposit interest but allows for rewards similar to credit card points and user behavior-based incentive mechanisms. From the perspective of DeFi regulation, Section 10301 of the bill requires the SEC to establish regulatory rules for protocols that are "nominally decentralized and substantially controllable," which does not equate to regulatory exemption; Section 10201 includes digital commodity brokers under all reporting obligations of the Bank Secrecy Act and allocates $3 billion for state-level enforcement, contrary to the Wall Street Journal's accusations of insufficient regulation of illegal finance.Addressing concerns about the "shadow market" for tokenized securities, Mersinger emphasized that Section 10505 of the bill clearly states that securities remain subject to SEC oversight even after settlement on the blockchain. She believes that the Wall Street Journal is essentially defending the monopoly position of traditional financial institutions, which conflicts with the free market principles that the paper has consistently advocated.
