Ethereum excelled across governance, integrations, liquidity, operational efficiency, and security, supported by $7B in RWA TVL, broad DeFi integration, and strong institutional adoption. The price of ETH has outperformed BTC since early July. The report also ranked Arbitrum in second place, highlighting its outstanding operational efficiency and robust integrations. The Productive Treasury Report ------------------------------ EigenLayer and the Liquid Collective [released](https://liquidcollective.io/corporate-treasury-staking/) “The Productive Treasury”, a guide for digital asset treasury companies to strategically make their reserves productive. The report notes that traditional treasury allocations such as cash and money market funds are struggling to preserve purchasing power amid persistent inflation. The report reinforces ETH staking as the Internet Bond, a protocol-native, sustainable yield independent of traditional credit markets. Liquid Staking Tokens provide treasuries with institutional-grade access to staking, offering liquidity, compliance, and reduced risk. The report positions ETH as a future-ready reserve asset.

SBI will leverage Chainlink’s CCIP for cross-chain tokenized Real-World Assets (RWAs), SmartData to improve liquidity and efficiency for tokenized funds, and Proof of Reserve to ensure transparency for regulated stablecoins.
