Ethereum is a global network that allows users to control their assets, data, and identity. As a user-controlled internet, ETH gives users direct ownership of their assets. Compared to traditional bank accounts (which are just records in someone else’s database), assets on Ethereum are truly owned by the user.
The network has over 292 million ETH holders, with an average of 20.4 million transactions per day. In terms of savings yields, lending applications on Ethereum offer annualized returns of 4-8%, far exceeding traditional banks’ 0.5%, and users can withdraw funds at any time. For cross-border payments, sending stablecoins via Ethereum takes only 12 minutes and costs just $0.20, significantly faster and cheaper than traditional wire transfers, which take 3-5 days and cost around $50. Regarding financial accessibility, users can obtain instant credit based on collateral without credit checks or minimum balances, and without permission.
Due to its transparent open-source code, 100% network uptime, and a decade of stable operation since 2015, Ethereum has gained trust and adoption from mainstream financial institutions such as Mastercard, Visa, and JPMorgan. The network adheres to core principles of direct ownership, open rules, global accessibility, and free entry, allowing anyone to use it without credit checks, minimum balances, or account approval.

Mega Financial Holding Co. held a media briefing on the 10th. Chairman Dong Rui-bin revealed that to objectively compare the efficiency of bank and blockchain remittances, Mega Bank mobilized 17 countries worldwide and 25 overseas branches last year for testing. Branch staff opened accounts at local legal exchanges and used the virtual asset trading platform BitoPro to trade USDT stablecoins, transferring 50 USDT each time back to Taiwan, and compared this with traditional bank cross-border wire transfers.
The results showed that stablecoins do have advantages for small-scale cross-border remittances. However, for remittance amounts exceeding the equivalent of NT$200,000 (about $7,000 USD), banks remain more cost-competitive.
