$ETH

Ethereum remains a hot topic in the world of cryptocurrencies, with developments focused on improving its scalability, security, and functionality. One of the most notable points is the preparation for the Pectra update, which is in the testing phase. This update promises to bring significant improvements, such as:

EIP-7702: Would introduce functionalities for "smart wallets," facilitating the user experience.

EIP-7251: Would increase the power of stakers, allowing for greater participation in the network.

Estimated launch: If the tests on networks like Hoodi (following issues on Holesky and Sepolia) are successful, we could see the launch on the mainnet by late April or May 2025.

Additionally, there are discussions in the community about the performance of the Ether (ETH) token in the market. Some analysts point out that it has been lagging behind Bitcoin and other smaller cryptocurrencies, which has sparked debates about its adoption and the exodus of some developers to other platforms. However, projects like Eclipse, which already implement advanced features (such as removing prior token approval for swaps), suggest that Ethereum could draw inspiration from these innovations to remain competitive.

In the technical realm, ETH price levels are a constant focus. Currently, a critical structure is observed: if it fails to stay above certain key supports (like the $1846 mentioned in recent analyses), it could drop towards $1751 or even $1600, followed by a possible rebound. This reflects the typical volatility of the crypto market in 2025.
