đĽ Ethereum Quietly Dominated 2025 đ
While the headlines focused on memecoins and alt L1 hype, Ethereum quietly cemented its lead as the go-to settlement layer. The numbers tell the story:
⢠Net inflows: $4.2B in 2025, highest among all Layer-1 networks
⢠L2 adoption: Base volume surged, Starknet launched, and by Q4 Layer-2 transactions surpassed L1 transactions
This wasnât speculative noise â this was enterprise adoption and market trust in action.
Some highlights that show Ethereumâs dominance:
1ď¸âŁ Staked ETH now exceeds ETF-held ETH â proof of long-term commitment
2ď¸âŁ Validator count reached an all-time high â more decentralization, more security
Flows, adoption, and activity donât lie. Ethereum is winning the settlement game, quietly but decisively.
đĄ 2026 Outlook: With network growth, L2 adoption, and staking at record levels, Iâm bullish on $ETH and wouldnât be surprised to see it reach five-digit valuations in the coming year.
