#数字资产市场动态 The Ethereum of 2026 is undergoing a multi-layered overhaul.
The most direct signal from whales is the realization of a $2.5 billion voting stake, and long-dormant Bitcoin ancient holders have also staked $1.25 billion worth of ETH. This is not just optimism, but more like taking root for the future.
On the technical front, validation is accelerating. Satoshi's prophecy regarding ZK technology is gradually coming true: millisecond-level block validation, gas fees approaching zero, and a throughput target of 10,000 TPS—these once-hypothetical concepts are now entering engineering implementation. The industry generally believes that 2026 will be a watershed moment for Ethereum's ZK scaling, on par with the significance of the Merge.
Deeper changes are happening in architecture restructuring. Layer-2 is becoming the core engine for high-speed execution, while Layer-1 is gradually evolving into a settlement hub and security foundation for global assets. Ethereum is no longer just a blockchain but is transforming into the trust backbone of the digital economy.
As capital continues to increase, technical routes become clearer, and institutions add to their holdings via ETFs, market discussions have shifted from "Will it rise" to "Where is the ceiling."
What do you think? Will Satoshi's technical vision finally come true, or will the power of capital rewrite this story? $BTC $ETH $ZBT

Whale accumulation and Vitalik's fulfillment—Is this the moment Ethereum is really about to take off? Why do I always feel like the discussion about the ceiling is still too early...

Really? Are the whales all starting to settle down? Is this serious?

Whoa, the whale is really throwing money around. This time is different.
---
Gas fees drop to zero? I'll wait and see first haha.
---
Can V神's ZK really get off the ground? Feels like it's been hyped for a long time.
---
Capital signals are the best answer. Don't overthink it.
---
I believe in 10,000 TPS, but is the ceiling really that high...
---
This architectural shift sounds nice, but it's just betting on the future.
---
Staking 1.25 billion ETH, that's a bold move.
---
Another "watershed," I'm tired of hearing this term.
---
From "Will it go up" to "Where's the ceiling," the attitude has indeed changed.
---
L2 taking off with L1 as the base layer sounds like they're just selling a story.
