$ETH

The future of Ethereum (ETH) looks promising due to continuous development and a focus on scalability and efficiency. After transitioning to Proof-of-Stake and updates like Pectra (May 2025), the network has significantly improved throughput and reduced fees by optimizing data processing for Layer 2 solutions.

These Layer 2 solutions (such as rollups) are critically important for scaling, processing transactions off the main blockchain while relying on its security. Their active development makes Ethereum more accessible and cost-effective for users and developers.

Despite competition from other blockchains, Ethereum maintains a leading position in DeFi and NFT, and there is a growing interest from institutional investors. Ethereum's roadmap continues to aim for further improvements to the base layer and complete decentralization, strengthening its role as a foundational platform for Web3.
