Ethereum 2026: Everything's pumping except the price

Mainnet gas fees collapsed. Apps are migrating back. UX is finally decent.

But $ETH? Still bleeding.

ETF inflows stalling. Corporate treasuries slowing buys. BitMine and other whales now buying back their own discounted shares instead of stacking more $ETH.

Meanwhile on-chain: 1M+ $ETH queued for staking. Deflationary engine? Dead. Low fees killed the burn.

Glamsterdam upgrade? Delayed due to security risks.

The paradox is real: Network improves → Token bleeds. Value accrual is broken.

Bullish fundamentals. Bearish tokenomics. Pick your poison.
