#EthereumSecurityInitiative ETH’s price has jumped more than 40% since the Pectra update on May 7, hitting nearly $2,755 before a slight pullback. Analysts point to key support in the $2,000–$2,300 band. If that holds, many expect a push toward $3,000. According to Coinglass data, derivatives volume climbed 25% to $121 billion, while open interest grew 4.5% to more than $32 billion. Those figures underline rising interest from big traders.

Impact On DeFi Dominance

Ethereum still holds roughly half of all DeFi value. Total value locked (TVL) on May 14 sat at about $80 billion, which is nearly 50–60% of the total locked across blockchains. By tightening security at every level, the network hopes to keep its lead. Institutions in particular look for clear safety measures before committing more funds.#SOL空投
