Ethereum ecosystem shows significant recovery trend in 2025
Technological upgrades and scalability breakthroughs
The Pectra upgrade completed in May introduced 11 EIPs, including EIP-7702 which enables temporary programmable account functionality, supporting batch transactions and Gas fee sponsorship. Layer 2 networks daily merged TPS surpassed 50, processing millions of transactions per day, with locked amounts in Arbitrum, Optimism, etc., exceeding 10 billion USD, and throughput has surpassed the mainnet. Sharding technology and dynamic Blob scheduling mechanisms optimized data availability, shifting the mainnet load to Layer 2, significantly reducing transaction fees.
DeFi and Restaking explosion
DeFi TVL reached 62.59 billion USD (YoY +30%), accounting for over 53% of the global total, with leading protocols like Lido and Aave dominating the market. The Restaking ecosystem size reached 19.96 billion USD, with ETH occupying 76% of the share, and improved staking efficiency attracting institutional participation, such as Harvard's endowment fund increasing its holdings in BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF, indirectly boosting market confidence.
Structural recovery of the NFT market
Although trading volume declined month-on-month, the number of transactions surged by 78% to 12.5 million, with the number of unique buyers increasing by 44%, as the market shifts from speculation to practicality. Blue-chip projects like CryptoPunks and BAYC saw price rebounds, while emerging projects like Pudgy Penguins achieved a 13% increase in floor price through ecosystem expansion, reflecting enhanced community consensus.
Support from developers and node networks
Ethereum maintains the largest developer community, with the number of new developers in 2024 being three times that of Polygon and four times that of Solana, as innovation logic migrates to Layer 2 (Base accounts for 25% of EVM innovation). The global number of nodes exceeds 8,665, with over 70% in the US and China, further solidifying network security and decentralization.
Price and market sentiment resonance
In August, Ethereum's price broke through 4,300 USD, reaching a new high since the end of 2021, with a 24-hour increase of over 8%, and a total market capitalization of 500 billion USD, creating a positive cycle between institutional capital inflows and technological upgrade expectations. ✨✨
