Do you still remember that Ethereum mainnet, once criticized as an "exclusive playground for the rich"? Recently, the situation has changed dramatically—gas fees have plummeted to 0.025 Gwei, with a single transaction costing just $0.0017. Even more surprisingly, many Layer2 solutions are now three to five times more expensive than the mainnet.

And that's not all. Beyond faster speeds and lower costs, Ethereum is about to launch privacy features. The pace of technological iteration forces us to reassess its value ceiling.

The market action in April still feels fresh: #美联储重启降息步伐 surged from $1,400 all the way to $4,950. Now, with the price oscillating near $2,800, what is the market waiting for? Is it a valuation reshuffle driven by technical upgrades, or a signal for a new wave of capital inflow? Some analysts are calling for a target of $8,500. It sounds crazy, but the crypto market has never lacked for cases that defy expectations.

$ETH and $BNB are also gathering momentum in this cycle, but perhaps it's Ethereum's "super evolution" this time that is the variable truly worth watching. When a public chain simultaneously solves the three major pain points of speed, cost, and privacy, what will happen next?
