$ETH
While the spotlight often shifts to newer chains, Ethereum is quietly powering the most valuable layer of Web3 — and its dominance is growing in 2025.
Here’s why $ETH remains the king of utility:
The Merge Changed Everything
Ethereum transitioned to Proof-of-Stake, reducing energy consumption by 99.95%. It’s now greener, more secure, and more scalable.
ETH Is Becoming Deflationary
With EIP-1559 and strong on-chain activity, more ETH is burned than issued. Ethereum is one of the few assets with shrinking supply and growing demand.
Layer 2s Are Exploding
Networks like Arbitrum, Base, and Optimism are scaling Ethereum — not replacing it. All roads still lead back to the main chain.
Real Yield and Institutional Use
With staking rewards and DeFi protocols offering real yield, $ETH is becoming a productive asset — like digital real estate with rent.
Why It Matters:
Ethereum is no longer just “programmable money.” It’s becoming the infrastructure for identity, finance, gaming, and global coordination.
