The best investment this year: ETH
Technical development and ecosystem:
* Pectra upgrade: The Pectra upgrade of Ethereum has improved technical efficiency and attracted more institutional attention.
* PoS protocol and regulation: The SEC has officially stated that most staking activities do not involve securities laws, which is a significant advantage for PoS protocols.
* Layer 2 scaling solutions: The rapid growth of Layer 2 networks such as Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base, although leading to a decrease in mainnet gas usage, actually reflects that Ethereum's scalability and flexibility are coming into play.
* Ethereum Foundation and DeFi: The Ethereum Foundation is now providing both funding and loans on Aave, completing a 'full DeFi cycle' and demonstrating its support for DeFi applications.
