The Ethereum ecosystem delivered an impressive report card in 2025. According to the latest data disclosed by the official, the total value locked (TVL) in the DeFi sector has exceeded $99 billion, more than 9 times higher than the second-largest public chain, highlighting a clear ecosystem advantage.
The stablecoin market also performed strongly. Throughout last year, the stablecoin settlement volume on Ethereum reached an astonishing $18.8 trillion, fully demonstrating Ethereum's dominant position as a settlement platform.
Even more noteworthy is the performance upgrade of Layer 2. Currently, transaction fees for Rollup solutions on the network have dropped below $0.01, significantly improving user experience. Meanwhile, the average TPS of all Rollups on the network has surpassed 5600 for the first time, breaking previous records, which means that Ethereum's ecosystem throughput has entered a new stage.
At the institutional level, ETFs and strategic reserves together hold a total of 3.5 million relevant assets, with institutional adoption continuing to deepen.
