$ETH Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, continues to shape the blockchain landscape in 2025. Its price hovers around $2,400-$2,600, reflecting a 10% dip from its November 2024 peak of $2,800, driven by market volatility and profit-taking. Ethereum’s strength lies in its robust ecosystem, hosting over 60% of DeFi protocols and NFT marketplaces. The recent Dencun upgrade has slashed layer-2 transaction costs, boosting scalability and adoption. However, competition from Solana and layer-1 chains challenges its dominance. Regulatory uncertainty, particularly in the U.S., looms as a risk. Technical analysis shows support at $2,300 and resistance at $2,700. Long-term, Ethereum’s pivot to AI-driven dApps and staking growth signals bullish potential, assuming macroeconomic stability.$ETH
