Ethereum’s Pectra Upgrade: Boosting Scalability & Price Growth
Ethereum’s upcoming Pectra upgrade, set for March, will double Layer-2 blob capacity from 3 to 6, enhancing scalability and reducing transaction fees. This is expected to benefit DeFi, gaming, and other blockchain applications.
Vitalik Buterin’s Governance Proposal
Vitalik Buterin proposes a new staker-driven governance model, allowing Ethereum stakers to vote on blob capacity changes instead of relying on hard forks. This would make upgrades more agile and decentralized.
Gas Limit Debate
52% of Ethereum validators support increasing the gas limit, which could lower fees but may impact network stability.
ETH Price Surge
Ethereum’s price rebounded 10%, jumping from $2,300 to $2,900, driven by market optimism, U.S. economic concerns, and a pro-ETH tweet by Eric Trump.
Ethereum’s Future in 2025
With improved Layer-2 scalability and a flexible upgrade process, Ethereum is strengthening its role in decentralized applications and smart contracts. Analysts see Ethereum as a key player in the next crypto boom.
