An interesting set of data has been released — last year, Ethereum performed quite well in the entire crypto market. By the end of 2025, Ethereum's net transaction volume ranked first across the network, with net inflows exceeding $4 billion, far ahead of other public chains.

From user base to developer ecosystem and institutional attention, Ethereum remains the top choice. The logic behind this is actually quite simple — stability, liquidity, and ecosystem completeness are all in place.

What’s even more exciting is how 2026 will unfold. The industry is generally optimistic, with predictions suggesting a 30-50% growth in just the first three months. If this pace continues, there’s a chance to reach the $8,000-$10,000 range by the end of the year. Of course, predictions are just forecasts, and the market always has uncertainties, but this direction is definitely worth paying attention to.
