Payal Shah, the Director of Equity & Cryptocurrency Product Development at CME Group, recently had an article published in Institutional Investor in which she she laid out her argument that Ethereum has intrinsic value. According to this article, Ethereum has become synonymous with Decentralized Finance (DeFi) as the primary driver for most products and networks in the growing finance sector. 

Shah highlighted Ethereum’s smart contract capability, saying the platform was designed — right from the start — to support execution of smart contracts that power Decentralized Applications (DApps), such as those in the DeFi sector. The CME Group Director said adopters should think of Ethereum as an infrastructure, spurring new types of connectivity that would “revolutionize” both finance and technology.
