If I observe all the major movements happening on Ethereum recently, perhaps the most interesting point is this: Every major trend started here.
In 2017, when the ICO boom occurred, the ERC-20 standard on Ethereum was at the center of it all. Over 90% of the ICOs at that time took place on this network. Then in 2020, the DeFi summer arrived, and protocols like Compound, Uniswap, Aave, and Curve completely shaped the Ethereum ecosystem. The entire core DeFi infrastructure was built here.
By 2021, the NFT craze began. All the action from CryptoPunks to OpenSea happened on the same network. Now, considering we are in the early stages of GameFi, even projects like Axie using the Ronin side chain shows how central Ethereum still is. Layer 2 solutions like (Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, and others) are also designed to solve Ethereum's scaling issues.
At this point, it seems quite likely that a new mega trend will also start with Ethereum. When the ecosystem is this strong, major movements originate here.
If you own $ETH, it makes sense to hold it. If not, now is the perfect time to start accumulating. This journey could take you up to $62,500. Don’t forget to come back later and thank me.
