Ethereum (ETH) on the Radar: Key Updates
Ethereum, the second largest cryptocurrency, remains in the spotlight. Its price has fluctuated, sometimes falling below $2,500 USDT, but institutional confidence is growing, as evidenced by investments in Ethereum ETFs.
"Pectra" Update: A Leap Forward
The recent "Pectra" update (implemented in May 2025) is a crucial milestone. Its goal is to improve performance and user experience. Key enhancements include:
* Increased staking limit: Up to 2,048 ETH for validators, simplifying staking infrastructure.
* Account abstraction: Wallets will function more like smart contracts, facilitating transactions and account recovery.
* Better Layer 2 support: Increased data capacity and lower costs.
Outlook and Challenges
While some predict that ETH could surpass $5,000 by the end of 2025 driven by ETFs and supply scarcity, others see competition from faster blockchains and regulatory uncertainties as challenges. Ethereum continues to evolve with technical advancements and growing institutional interest, although the market is dynamic.
