💎 Ethereum: More than just an altcoin - it's the foundation of the future!

While the market searches for the "next Ethereum," the original is preparing for a major leap. If you're holding ETH or just watching closely, January 2026 is the perfect time to dive into the numbers and updates.

🚀 What's driving ETH right now?

▫️ Glamsterdam Upgrade: Ethereum will implement parallel transaction processing in the first half of the year. This means speeds up to 10,000 TPS and even lower fees.

▫️ Institutional privacy: The new focus on Hegota (the second upgrade of the year) makes the network attractive to banks and large corporations. Privacy for institutions is the key to unlocking trillions of dollars in RWA (real-world assets).

▫️ Deflationary mechanism: Thanks to network activity and fee burning, ETH continues to become a scarce asset.

📊 The numbers speak for themselves:

Current price around 132,800 UAH (~$3,300) shows resilience. Analysts foresee a "golden era" for Layer 2 solutions (Arbitrum, Optimism, Base) in 2026, which will become fully compatible with the main network.
