🔥 Ethereum Quietly Dominated 2025 👀
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 wasn’t speculative noise — this was enterprise adoption and market trust in action.
Some highlights that show Ethereum’s dominance:
1️⃣ Staked ETH now exceeds ETF-held ETH – proof of long-term commitment
2️⃣ Validator count reached an all-time high – more decentralization, more security
Flows, adoption, and activity don’t lie. Ethereum is winning the settlement game, quietly but decisively.
💡 2026 Outlook: With network growth, L2 adoption, and staking at record levels, I’m bullish on $ETH and wouldn’t be surprised to see it reach five-digit valuations in the coming year.
