It is the core carrier of applications such as DeFi and NFTs. It will complete the "merger" and upgrade to the PoS mechanism in 2022, reducing energy consumption by 99.95%. The 2025 technology roadmap focuses on sharding expansion, EVM evolution and security reinforcement, and continues to optimize performance. As an ecological native asset, Ethereum (ETH) has the properties of "digital oil" and is used to pay Gas fees. The EIP-1559 mechanism creates deflationary pressure by destroying basic fees. In 2025, the daily destruction will be stable at around US$1 million. In October 2025, the price was nearly US$4,500, an increase of more than 1,500% compared to 2019. In July, it increased by more than 50% in a single month, outperforming Bitcoin. Institutional adoption is the key to growth: spot ETH ETF inflows exceeded US$2.8 billion in a single week in August 2025, and capital inflows exceeded Bitcoin ETFs for three consecutive days. Fundamental Global and other institutions increased their holdings in large amounts. Standard Chartered predicts that the price of ETH will reach US$7,500 in 2025, and Fundstrat sees it reaching US$10,000, because ETH holds 60% of tokenized RWA, and JPMorgan and others use it as the basis for tokenization. At the ecological level, the total locked value of DeFi reaches US$90.62 billion. The ERC-20 standard supports token interoperability, and developer activities and network effects lead the industry. However, investments need to be wary of risks: historical prices have fallen by more than 90%, and there are liquidation risks caused by regulatory uncertainty, exchange security, and position congestion. Strategically, ETH can be used as a portfolio hedging asset, with a staking yield of about 2.1%. It is recommended to pay attention to the progress of Layer-2 expansion and main network upgrade. It has dual attributes of technical infrastructure and investment assets. It has significant potential in 2025-2026 driven by institutional demand and ecological expansion, but it needs to be allocated and risk managed from a long-term perspective. 👉 Original video: http://youtube.com/post/UgkxBi6eFv1vSfI0drW2eHp1_TpmyL1RsZSl?si=8wkMP9reuhs6MFN3 [Note⚠️, cryptocurrency is a high-risk investment, and you may lose all your principal.
