#美国ADP就业数据表现超出市场预期 The Ethereum upgrade on December 3 is indeed worth paying attention to. Official data shows that this technical iteration focuses on performance bottlenecks, with Gas costs expected to be reduced by about half, and on-chain congestion issues are also expected to ease. There are rumors in the market that it could reach 8000-10000 USD by the end of the year? The sentiment is indeed heating up, but the implementation of the upgrade and price big pump have never been synchronized.

Speaking of $FIL, the mining cost aspect is even more interesting. Back in 2021, the cost was around 20U, but now it has been compressed to 2.5U, and it may continue to be reduced after the upgrade. Grayscale has been steadily building positions around 6U, and such institutional actions are usually not without reason. If history repeats itself, a target of 20U is not unreasonable—of course, this is under the premise that the entire storage sector returns to the spotlight.

As for whether privacy coins like $ETH can keep up with the pace, it depends on the dual game of regulatory trends and market preferences.

In a nutshell: Upgrades are catalysts, not starting guns. There is still time to position yourself; when the whole network is shouting, the cost won't be this price anymore. Can the Ethereum ecosystem truly take off because of this upgrade? Can FIL return to its shining moments? The market will provide the answer.
