Inside Ethereum’s big pivot - Interview
Summary
Ether (ETH) has surged nearly 50% in the past month, outpacing most major crypto assets. A strategic shift within the Ethereum ecosystem is driving this resurgence. Previously focused on a rollup-centric roadmap emphasizing layer-2 scaling, Ethereum is now rebalancing its strategy between layer-1 and layer-2 growth. This change was prompted by poor price performance, leading influential figures, including co-founder Vitalik Buterin, to reassess their approach. Ryan Berckmans highlights the potential for Ethereum to underpin future global onchain economies, predicting ETH could reach values of 20K, 50K, or 80K in the coming years.
