What happens when a blockchain can run Ethereum, Cosmos, and Solana smart contracts simultaneously? By the end of 2025, Injective will provide the answer.
With the official release of the native EVM execution layer, Injective has become the only truly 'fully virtual machine compatible' high-performance Layer 1. Developers no longer need to compromise on performance for ecosystem or give up ecosystem for performance.
Breaking through technology: one chain, four types of virtual machines
Before this, the blockchain world was like a series of language-incompatible islands. Ethereum developers are accustomed to Solidity, the Cosmos ecosystem prefers CosmWasm, and Solana projects are based on Move VM. Choosing one chain often means giving up the accumulation of other ecosystems.
The Injective MultiVM architecture breaks this deadlock. Now, developers can freely choose the virtual machine environment on the same chain while enjoying:
Sub-second transaction confirmation
Nearly zero Gas costs
Native interoperability with IBC, EVM, and Solana ecosystems
This is equivalent to providing developers with a 'universal development platform'—retaining the tools and talents accumulated over ten years of Ethereum while offering Cosmos-level performance experience.
Ecosystem explosion: 40+ leading projects simultaneously settle in
Technical upgrades quickly translate into ecological momentum. Currently, more than 40 well-known dApps have announced plans to deploy or migrate to the Injective native EVM layer, covering:
Decentralized exchanges (e.g., Helix, Black Whale)
Games and social applications (e.g., Ninja Blaze)
Oracle services (Chainlink, Pyth, Band Protocol)
Cross-chain bridges and infrastructure
This means that users will experience top applications from multiple ecosystems on one platform without frequently switching wallets or exchanging assets between different chains.
Institutional entry: Publicly listed company’s $100 million 'real cash' vote
What deserves more attention is the movement of traditional financial institutions. Recently, the publicly listed company Pineapple Financial Inc. announced that it has raised $100 million for its digital asset treasury, all of which will be used to purchase INJ on the open market.
The company clearly stated in its announcement: Injective is currently the only underlying chain that can simultaneously meet institutional demands for performance, compliance, and asset tokenization. This institutional-level buying not only strongly endorses the value of INJ but also marks the beginning of traditional capital systematically laying out on-chain financial infrastructure.
Compliance breakthrough: ETF on the doorstep, a hundred billion funding channel is about to open
Meanwhile, the ETF application for INJ in the U.S. market has entered the final stage and is expected to officially list within weeks. This means:
Ordinary investors can directly buy and sell INJ through stock accounts
Retirement funds, hedge funds, and other traditional capital can enter in compliance
Opening a billion-dollar incremental funding channel for INJ
RWA leading: From U.S. stock tokenization to 'digital asset treasury'
In the real-world asset (RWA) track, Injective continues to maintain its lead. Following the successful launch of tokenized products like Nvidia and Tesla stocks, the platform is about to introduce 'digital asset treasury certificates' and institutional-level stock tokens.
This innovation allows traditional financial institutions to manage crypto assets on-chain in a compliant manner while maintaining complete audit trails, truly realizing asset interoperability between traditional finance and DeFi.
Written at the end
When technological breakthroughs, ecological prosperity, institutional recognition, and compliance channels converge within the same time window, it often signifies the arrival of a critical turning point. Injective, through the MultiVM architecture, not only solves the 'Babel Tower dilemma' of the blockchain world but also constructs a financial infrastructure oriented towards the future.
For investors, this may no longer be about the rise and fall of a single token, but about what historical juncture we are standing at—when traditional finance and the on-chain world finally merge, who will become the indispensable underlying hub.
