$ETH Ethereum ($ETH) continues to assert its foundational position in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, with several highlights:

In terms of technology, the network has completed its transition to Proof-of-Stake, reducing energy consumption by 99.95% and increasing scalability. Layer-2 solutions such as Arbitrum, Optimism, zkSync… are attracting DeFi capital flows, helping to reduce gas fees and increase transaction throughput.

Liquidity on exchanges remains high, while on-chain metrics such as wallet activity and staking cash flows continue to rise, reflecting the confidence of long-term investors. The total value locked (TVL) in the DeFi ecosystem remains in the hundreds of billions of USD, thanks to the strength of applications and a diverse ecosystem.

However, ETH is currently facing pressure from macroeconomic volatility: interest rates, regulation, and the global Economic Balance Sheet. Investors should carefully assess the driving factors (system updates, increased applications) and risks (legal, liquidity) before deciding to hold or invest.
