$ETH is getting heavily criticized right now, mostly by people who once supported it. The main reason is simple: the price hasnโt exploded like some meme coins. Many of us, myself included, focus too much on charts, fast trades, and quick profits. But sometimes, the market just doesnโt move the way we expect.
Ethereum is not just another coin you trade. It is the foundation that much of the crypto space is built on. From a fundamentals point of view, ETH is still extremely undervalued, both in terms of its use and its price. What we may be seeing is a slow and steady rise that happens while most people are still negative on it.
Short-term price action creates a lot of noise, but it rarely tells the full story. Meme coins can be fun and bring fast excitement, but that doesnโt last. Strong blockchains are built on real utility, strong infrastructure, and long-term value. Right now, nothing in crypto comes close to what Ethereum offers on that level.
Letโs break down whatโs been happening with $ETH recently.

ETH investors are starting to lose faith because the โprice isnโt moving,โ the usual degen mindset. But real success isnโt about how many new rugs or hype tokens launch every day. Itโs about building systems that actually last. On that front, ETH is doing very well. Revenue is growing, TVL remains strong, and staking demand keeps rising, all pointing to strength beneath the surface. While other altcoins are busy competing over memes and short-term hype, ETH is quietly stacking real value. Newcomers get burned chasing fast profits? Thatโs part of gambling, sometimes you win, most times you donโt. ETH isnโt chasing noise. Itโs focused on the long term game.

Base and Ethereum together pulled in more than 66% of total chain revenue 3 days ago. Thatโs clear dominance. Base on its own beat Solana, showing that Ethereumโs Layer-2 ecosystem is more than hype. Itโs generating real income. While most chains struggle to earn fees in tough market conditions, Ethereumโs structure continues to bring in steady revenue from actual user activity.

Ethereumโs total value locked remains solid at roughly $53โ55 billion, sometimes pushing even higher. This gives it over half of the entire DeFi market, around 50โ57% or more. In many cases, Ethereum alone holds more value than the next ten chains combined, including Solana at about $6โ9 billion, Bitcoin around $7 billion, BNB Chain near $6โ7 billion, and others.
This strength isnโt by chance. Ethereum continues to attract large capital because it offers strong security, deep liquidity, and systems that work well together. Even during market downturns, DeFi on Ethereum has stayed steady, falling only about 12% from its highs while prices across the market dropped much harder.
Money isnโt rushing out of Ethereum. Instead, itโs staying put, drawn by reliable yields, proven infrastructure, and long-term confidence in the network.

Right now, thereโs a 70-day wait to stake ETH, with billions of dollars waiting to get in. While some sell during price drops, many ETH holders are buying and stacking more. Already, over 30% of all ETH is staked, with 36 million+ ETH locked in the system.

The talk about โpivoting away from L2sโ has some people shouting, โthe last five years were a mistake.โ Classic drama from old โEthereum maxis.โ But thatโs wrong. ETH is literally moving toward a rollup itself, so how does that make sense? ZKVMs (zero-knowledge virtual machines) wouldnโt be this advanced without Ethereumโs rollup-focused roadmap driving the tech. Vitalikโs early blogs always hinted that rollups were the endgame for L1 scaling. Everything else was just temporary. This shift doesnโt kill strong L2s like Baseโitโs doing fine. It just pushes weak or pointless ones to either adapt, add real value, or disappear. Ethereum is bringing the whole rollup ecosystem together with native rollups and synchronous composability. Rollups are still the future, with ETH as the hub for security and issuance.

To show how much is being built, check this Ethereum Foundation thread summarizing January. 28 real updates proving ETHโs momentum. Some highlights: Fidelity launched FIDD, a USD stablecoin on Ethereum, making it a major settlement layer. ERC-8004 for AI agents went live with 24k+ agents and 80+ verified services. A new Post-Quantum research team formed to strengthen security. Morgan Stanley proposed a spot ETH ETF. Ethereum L1 hit an all-time high in transaction activity. The second Blob Parameter Only fork improved data availability. Ondo added 200+ tokenized stocks/ETFs. Aave integrated institutional yield on offline storage. And thatโs just a sample. From community hubs in Hong Kong to upgrades on Arbitrum, Optimism, Mantle, and Polygon Ethereum is cooking.

ETHโs on-chain numbers are looking strong. Daily transaction volume is up 20% month over month, and daily active addresses jumped 50%. Mainnet active addresses are at an all-time high while gas fees are at a record low. Cheap and high usage vibes. Prediction markets give ETH a 17% chance of reclaiming $5k this year, but with upgrades like Glamsterdam (parallel processing, gas to 200M) and Heze-Bogota (anti-censorship) coming, momentum could surprise. Institutional flows are also strong: ETFs hold about 3% of supply, with billions in inflows even during volatile periods.

Ethereum isnโt just aiming to be the first quantum-secure blockchain. Itโs building itself to be the first quantum-secure global financial system. The new Post Quantum research team is a game changer, protecting ETH from quantum threats that could break other chains. While everyone else scrambles to catch up, ETH is quietly creating the strong infrastructure for a post-quantum future. Imagine secure AI, finance, and governance operating at scale.

The haters are loud, shouting that ETH is โdead,โ while it steadily builds its empire. I think this low key grind is setting the stage for one of the most underestimated rallies ever. When ETH moons, the people who sold early will ask, โWhy didnโt I hold?โ Fundamentals donโt lie, price always follows. Short term, weโll see more dips and struggle. ETHdominance is finding a floor, $BTC dominance may peak. That could create a generational buying window ($1,000โ$1,500) when sentiment is at its worst. Those moments? Thatโs when strong hands load up, and weak hands fold.
