Ethereum Layer-2 protocol zkSync has outlined a clear shift toward real-world infrastructure in its 2026 roadmap. Per the plans, the network placed banks, asset managers, and regulated firms at the center of its next phase. The plan aims to solve privacy, control, and compliance gaps that have slowed institutional crypto use. Ethereum L2 zkSync Sets Standards for Institutional Use Ethereum L2 zkSync is moving beyond developer-focused scaling and turning attention to how blockchain can fit into existin ...
