#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?
