PANews reported on January 23 that according to Bloomberg, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin and the Ethereum Foundation he created are fully supporting a new startup that hopes to make Ethereum the best cryptocurrency on Wall Street. The company, called Etherealize, was founded by Vivek Raman, who worked as a bond trader at Nomura Holdings and UBS Group, and received investment from Buterin and the Ethereum Foundation. Although Buterin's organization confirmed the investment, neither party disclosed the specific amount. Raman said that he and a team of eight full-time employees have started operations in New York this month. They are promoting Ethereum to financial companies while developing products to make it easier for banks to use the Ethereum network.
