Vitalik Buterin Proposes Ethereum Protocol Ossification as Institutional Holdings Exceed Billions

Vitalik Buterin proposed at Devconnect in Buenos Aires that Ethereum should pursue greater ossification of its core protocol. The network now secures hundreds of billions in assets, making protocol stability increasingly critical. Corporate treasuries have accumulated substantial ETH holdings, with entities like BitMine Immersion Technologies holding 1,713,899 ETH valued above $5.27 billion.
