#数字资产市场动态 $ETH $ZEC $PAXG——Ethereum will really have big moves next year. Vitalik's statement that "it will surprise everyone" is not just a slogan; it has already turned into whale holdings and developer code commits.

Money is moving, and this is the first signal. The stablecoin and on-chain real estate (RWA) markets are rapidly approaching a trillion-dollar scale, and sovereign funds' demand for ETH is expected to increase by 5 to 10 times. A whale single-handedly staked 74,000 ETH, equivalent to $200 million—such a scale of operation is definitely not gambling; it’s a strategic positioning.

On the technical side? Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZK) have become the core variable for 2026. Once this technology is rolled out, you can use an old laptop as a verifier, with network throughput reaching 10,000 transactions per second, and gas fees expected to drop significantly. The roadmap is set: by the end of the year, at least 10% of validators will switch to ZK mode, and the entire network will begin a "load reduction sprint."

Ethereum is currently transforming. Assets like stocks, bonds, and real estate are gradually being on-chain, forming a new settlement layer for global liquidity. Layer 2 seamless interoperability, privacy transactions becoming standard, and censorship resistance capabilities soaring—these are not science fiction.

Some criticize it for being slow and expensive, but looking at on-chain data, whales are continuously increasing their holdings; examining the code repositories, ZK optimizations are advancing daily; looking at the timeline, this wave of technological innovation by 2026 is already on the horizon.

A more open, efficient, and truly user-centric digital world is being built. By 2026, we are very likely standing at the explosion point.

How high do you think ETH can fly next year?

ETH-2.28%

ZEC0.03%

PAXG-2.3%

No hype, no negativity. ZK is really making moves; the code submissions and data are all there.

A single whale operation of 200 million USD, this isn't a signal, it's like whispering behind the scenes.

This move by the whale is indeed impressive; 74,000 tokens is no small amount... But I'll still wait to see ZK truly implemented before making any judgments.

74,000 ETH, 200 million invested—this guy is really a player. ZK rollups are indeed a watershed, but will Gas fees really drop? Let’s see first. How high can next year go? Who knows, but Bitcoin is hitting new highs, and ETH has no reason to lag behind. The big whale increasing positions does seem to have some insight, not the gambling mentality of retail investors. One word: wait. It’s not too late to hype up the technology once it’s implemented; right now, it’s all about expectations. 2026? Then I’ll get on board this year first. Layer2 seamless interoperability sounds great, but you’ll only know when you try it; the experience is lacking. RWA with a trillion-scale market—this has been said for two or three years. Where is the large-scale application? Look for it. Are the continuously increasing whales actually offloading? Think in reverse. If V God’s wave really materializes, it will definitely be legendary in history.

Whale stakes 74,000 tokens in one go—this guy is really fearless. Everyone's betting, what are you still hesitating for? After ZK rollout, can gas fees really drop significantly? I'm a bit hopeful but also a bit skeptical. Let's wait for the data. The demand for sovereign funds to increase 5 to 10 times—where does this data come from? Is there a source or just community rumors? If ETH doesn't break through next year, the expectations for this wave of ZK optimization will need to be readjusted. But the fact that whales are adding positions indeed indicates a point—retail investors always react a beat too late.
