🔥 Ethereum is between a rock and a hard place: Will the 2025 upgrades bring back lost glory?
Although Ethereum is one of the most secure and widespread blockchain networks, its momentum has been noticeably waning lately. The reason? High fees, slow transactions, and the dispersion of liquidity among layer 2 networks. This is what a recent report from Binance Research highlights.
☠️ Networks like Solana and BNB Smart Chain are starting to capture a huge share of the market, especially in the areas of decentralized trading (DEX), and the reason is simple: Higher speed, lower costs. But has Ethereum given up? Not at all.
⚙️ In May 2025, the Pectra upgrade will be released, a giant upgrade that aims to tip the scales. It will merge the Implementation (Prague) and Compatibility (Electra) layers, and contains 11 technical enhancements (EIPs). The most notable ones are:
🔹 EIP-7251: Raised the maximum effective storage limit from 32 ETH to 2048 ETH.
🔹 EIP-7691: Expand blob capacity to reduce costs and increase efficiency.
🧩 These changes aim to reduce network congestion and improve the user experience, which could bring Ethereum back to compete strongly in the digital payments and DeFi market.
⚠️ However, the challenge is not easy, competitors continue to develop and innovate, and the cryptocurrency market is unforgiving.
🚀 Will these upgrades be the beginning of an "awakening" for the Ethereum network? Or will Solana and BNB continue to dominate the market?
