Vitalik Buterin is pushing for a market to predict future gas costs, a problem that has long overshadowed bullish Ethereum price predictions.
He argues that multi-year low gas fees have bred complacency, with a massive shift in retail activity to cheaper Layer 2 networks like Base and Arbitrum sidelining the altcoin’s issue.

His solution: an on-chain prediction market designed to help users secure future gas prices and mitigate sudden spikes in transaction costs on the network.
We need a good trustless onchain gas futures market.
(Like, a prediction market on the BASEFEE)
I've heard people ask: "today fees are low, but what about in 2 years? You say they'll stay low because of increasing gaslimit from BAL + ePBS + later ZK-EVM, but do I believe you?"…

An on-chain futures curve would provide a clear signal of long-term market expectations. It would permit users to prepay for block space and lock in costs regardless of future spikes.
With a shared reference point for future network conditions, developers could buy gas insurance to cap operating costs ahead of critical events, while heavy users could also offset future fee spikes by taking the opposite market position.
This all amounts to a more favourable platform for users, facilitating the transition from web-2 to web-3 as blockchain technology needs the reliability expected at the institutional level.
Ethereum Price Predictions: Adoption Could Fuel New All-Time Highs
The potential adoption of controlled gas fees could bring to Ethereum could help fuel the breakout of a bullish 19-month head-and-shoulder pattern, now unfolding.
The Ethereum price has confirmed a local bottom after with higher highs forming after its bounce from a historical demand zone around $2,750, and with it the right shoulder.
Momentum indicators show this bullishness is now being realised. The RSI is closing in on the 50 neutral line, forming several higher lows as buyers step in.
The MACD also displays a growing lead on the signal line, suggesting a sustained bullish trend.
A fully realised pattern breakout could see the neckline reclaimed around $5,500, reclaiming past all-time highs and entering new price discovery in a 90% move.
But as the bull market matures, if Ethereum finds a bigger part to play in the transition from Web2 to Web3, the move could extend 250% to $10,000.
