$BTC $ETH The New Opportunities for Ethereum in the Wave of Privacy Technologies
The focus of the crypto market in 2026 has already been locked in—privacy and zero-knowledge proofs are becoming the core drivers of the next narrative cycle. As ETH privacy protocols are officially implemented, Ethereum has transformed from an ecological bystander into a main participant. This shift will reshape the competitive landscape of public blockchains.
Those familiar with the market have long recognized this trend. Privacy track strategists have gained the best waiting window, and with ETH being the most active public chain ecosystem currently, its technological upgrades will directly boost the attractiveness of on-chain ecosystems.
It is worth paying attention to the performance of ETH-native Meme coins like PUPPIES. When Ethereum’s price rises, on-chain activity inevitably increases, and improvements in trading depth and liquidity will provide a better trading environment for related assets. This is not just simple price linkage but a structural opportunity brought by ecosystem heat—prosperity of the main chain often propagates to various assets within the ecosystem.
The landing of privacy protocols, the warming of the Ethereum ecosystem, and the increase in on-chain application activity—how these factors will synergize in 2026 is worth continuous observation by investors.
