Which ETC tokens can stay popular long-term? Today I’ll talk about a few hard-core supports $ZEC
In today’s crypto market, where hotspots rotate extremely fast, ETC (Ethereum Classic) has managed to sustain strong attention for the long run. Behind it, there are indeed some solid narratives keeping it going.
$FIL
The most core highlight is the continued push of the Olympia upgrade. This upgrade will introduce the EIP-1559 fee market to ETC, but unlike Ethereum’s burning mechanism, ETC will redirect the base fee to the community treasury for ecosystem development. Meanwhile, it will gradually achieve full compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine. In other words, it applies the principle of “conservative innovation,” using a modern economic engine to empower an established chain.
The fifth halving (Fifthening) is also worth关注. On July 22, 2026, the ETC block reward will be reduced from 2.048 to 1.6384 ETC. This is the 5th activation of ECIP-1017’s monetary policy. The supply cap of 210.7 million ETC will tighten again, and the scarcity narrative continues to build momentum.
On-chain data-wise, network hashrate has stayed in a high range of about 192–198 TH/s, maintaining a strong security foundation. In addition, ETC was officially included in Japan’s FSA/JVCEA compliant token “green list” in April 2026, receiving substantive recognition from a regulatory compliance perspective.
Of course, there is also debate within the community about these positives. Some believe the halving compresses miners’ profits and that the network’s application ecosystem is still relatively thin—potential long-term risks.
The above is only a整理 of industry developments and community viewpoints and does not constitute any investment advice. Please assess the risks yourself. $ETC #以太坊经典 #POW
