Ethereum TVL may surge in 2026 as stablecoins, tokenized assets, and institutional investors expand adoption, reinforcing Ethereum’s role as a global settlement layer. Ethereum’s total value locked could rise sharply in 2026, according to Sharplink co-CEO Joseph Chalom. He sees growth in institutional use cases, driving continued growth. Ethereum could increase its standing as the main settlement layer.
The stablecoin market could hit $500 billion by late 2026. Current market cap is right around $308 billion with potential growth of roughly 62%. As a result, the addition of more stablecoin could dramatically increase the liquidity on Ethereum. Global stablecoin use cases are also growing in the field of cross-border remittances, retail payments and institutional transactions.
Meanwhile, Ethereum claims the title of the most suitable settlement layer. As a result, the network demand can keep growing steadily. Several major institutions already have stablecoins that are based on blockchain infrastructure. JPMorgan and Paypal have active stablecoin products.
