Ethereum, the big one is coming.

Is Ethereum really dead or just pretending? Is it still viable? When will the price take off?
Actually, it's a comparison between performance and non-performance. Ethereum hasn't changed, but BTC and Sol have. People are not satisfied with the performance of ETH, but in fact, the comparison is with these two benchmarks.
The consensus of BTC is increasing rapidly, and Sol is a high-speed incubator that keeps hatching memes, creating one after another myth of getting rich, even the current U.S. President Trump is issuing coins on Sol.
The former can only indicate that BTC is better, while the latter cannot indicate that SOL is better than ETH. Based on SOL, the development of some air coins such as memes with low cost and fast speed has attracted a large number of speculators.
In these respects, Musk and Trump have set a bad example for the world, spreading the voices of speculation and getting rich quick for their own financial interests, rather than supporting investment as Buffett does.
ETH is widely recognized as having much greater security than Sol's public chain. For many important projects, security is the first consideration, followed by cost and speed. Therefore, many large projects like RWA will definitely be developed on Ethereum, such as tokenizing US Treasury bonds and tokenizing US stocks.
When will the coin price take off?
Don't worry, what is meant to come will always come. The fact that ETH hasn't hit a new high means that the crazy bullish market hasn't arrived yet.
In addition to the known upgrade benefits in March, there is another super bullish news in the pipeline, which is the Ethereum ETF that supports staking. Once approved and launched, a productive ETF asset will be born.
At that time, the ETH ETF was like a house. When you have enough houses, you only need to collect rent to meet your daily expenses. Are you happy? This is something that Bitcoin doesn't have. At that time, issuers like BlackRock will be very proactive in promoting Ethereum ETFs.
Recently, Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin revealed that ETF issuers are actively preparing for Ethereum ETFs and are confident of obtaining approval under the new SEC leadership.
Lubin said that the issuing institutions are working hard to develop the best solutions for customers to address the complexities of the collateral and penalty mechanisms, which will help enhance the robustness and diversity of the ecosystem.
The SEC established a cryptocurrency working group on January 21, led by crypto-friendly commissioner Hester Peirce, responsible for developing a regulatory framework for digital assets.
Currently, there are approximately 33.7 million ETH (worth about $113 billion) staked on the blockchain, accounting for 28% of the total supply.
If the ETH ETH pledge type is approved, more ETH will be locked up, forming a virtuous cycle of spiral upward.
If you watch the Spring Festival Gala during the Chinese New Year, you will find that most of the time, there are individual performances on the stage, while other programs are waiting backstage. However, there will definitely be a grand chorus, and once the grand chorus comes out, the Spring Festival Gala will come to an end.
The cryptocurrency market is no exception. First, big brother Bitcoin takes the stage, followed by Solana's performance, and then the meme coins' show. Next, it may be ETH's turn.
Investing is not a machine gun-style sweep, investing is precise like a sniper, most of the time is spent waiting.
Each currency has its own performance time. If the time hasn't come, it's not your turn yet. You can watch from the audience, don't rush, the big one is not far away.
