Fresh off the heels of completing a $100 million Series B funding round, Etherealize is aiming to bring Ethereum to Wall Street. Founded by former banker Vivek Raman, Etherealize is on a mission to make ETH a serious asset class.

Etherealize刚开始完成了1亿美元的B融资回合，旨在将以太坊带到华尔街。 Etherealize由前银行家Vivek Raman创立，其任务是使ETH成为严肃的资产类别。

“I came to crypto after a decade in banking, and I feel like I have a unique perspective having seen both sides of the table,” Raman told CoinDesk. “I discovered crypto in 2017 and left banking in 2018. I spent the next four years building the relationships and the company, and we chose to launch in January because it’s a time of heightened market optimism driven by expectations of a crypto-friendly White House.”

拉曼对Coindesk告诉Coindesk说：“在银行业十年后，我来到了加密货币，我觉得我有一个独特的视角看到了桌子的两面。” “我在2017年发现了加密货币，并于2018年离开银行业。我在接下来的四年中建立了关系和公司，我们选择在一月份推出，因为这是对对加密友好型白宫的期望提高市场乐观的时期。”

While Ethereum grapples with internal disputes and price stagnation, Etherealize has been quietly marketing ETH on Wall Street. In an interview with CoinDesk’s Margaux Nijkerk, Raman discusses how he came to create Etherealize, how that group is marketing ETH on Wall Street and banks’ views on layer-2 rollups.

尽管以太坊努力应对内部争端和价格停滞，但空灵一直在华尔街悄悄地销售ETH。拉曼在接受Coindesk的Margaux Nijkerk采访时，讨论了他是如何创建空灵的，该小组在华尔街上如何营销ETH以及Banks对2层汇总的看法。

CoinDesk: Tell me a little bit about your background and how you came to create Etherealize.

Coindesk：告诉我一些有关您的背景以及如何创建空灵的信息。

Vivek Raman: I was born in India and moved to the U.S. when I was 10 years old. I grew up in New Jersey and went to college at the University of Pennsylvania, where I studied economics and international relations. After graduating, I worked at Goldman Sachs for seven years in the commodities division, trading precious metals and energy derivatives.

维维克·拉曼（Vivek Raman）：我10岁那年出生在印度，搬到了美国。我在新泽西州长大，并在宾夕法尼亚大学上大学，在那里我学习了经济学和国际关系。毕业后，我在高盛（Goldman Sachs）在商品部门工作了七年，交易了贵金属和能源衍生品。

In 2017, I discovered crypto and became fascinated by the technology and its potential to revolutionize finance. I left banking in 2018 to join Polychain Capital, where I worked for two years as an investment associate.

2017年，我发现了加密货币，并对这项技术及其革新金融的潜力着迷。我于2018年离开银行加入Polychain Capital，在那里我担任投资助理两年。

During my time at Polychain, I became increasingly interested in the intersection of traditional finance and crypto. I saw an opportunity to create a company that could bridge the gap between the two worlds and help to bring ETH to a broader audience.

在PolyChain期间，我对传统金融和加密的交集变得越来越感兴趣。我看到了创建一家可以弥合两个世界之间差距并帮助更广泛受众的公司的机会。

I founded Etherealize in 2020 with the goal of making ETH a serious asset class. The company is a liquidity provider and market maker for ETH, and we also work with banks and other institutions to help them understand and adopt Ethereum technology.

我在2020年创立了Etherealize，目的是使ETH成为一类认真的资产类别。该公司是ETH的流动性提供商和做市商，我们还与银行和其他机构合作，以帮助他们理解和采用以太坊技术。

CoinDesk: What are some of the challenges you've faced in marketing ETH on Wall Street?

Coindesk：您在华尔街的营销ETH中面临哪些挑战？

Vivek Raman: One of the biggest challenges has been educating people about Ethereum. Many people in traditional finance are still not familiar with the technology or its benefits.

维维克·拉曼（Vivek Raman）：最大的挑战之一就是向人们教育以太坊。许多传统金融领域的人仍然不熟悉该技术或其收益。

We also face challenges due to the regulatory environment. Crypto is still largely unregulated in the U.S., which can make it difficult for banks and other institutions to adopt the technology.

由于监管环境，我们还面临挑战。在美国，加密货币仍然很大程度上不受监管，这可能使银行和其他机构难以采用这项技术。

CoinDesk: What are banks' views on layer-2 rollups?

Coindesk：银行对2层汇总的看法是什么？

Vivek Raman: Banks are generally interested in layer-2 rollups because they have the potential to improve the scalability, cost and efficiency of Ethereum transactions.

维维克·拉曼（Vivek Raman）：银行通常对2层汇总感兴趣，因为它们有可能提高以太坊交易的可扩展性，成本和效率。

However, banks are also concerned about the security and reliability of layer-2 rollups. They want to make sure that their customers' funds are safe and that transactions will be processed quickly and reliably.

但是，银行还担心第2层汇总的安全性和可靠性。他们想确保客户的资金安全，并且交易将快速而可靠地处理。

We expect that banks will begin to adopt layer-2 rollups in 2023 as the technology matures and is proven to be secure and reliable at scale.

我们预计，随着技术的成熟，银行将在2023年开始采用2层汇总，并被证明是安全和可靠的。
