"Ethereum (ETH) Anticipates Positive Outlook with Next Year's Upgrade and Improved Regulatory Environment"

On the 24th (local time), cryptocurrency-focused media Cointelegraph cited multiple experts, reporting that "Ethereum (ETH)'s upcoming network upgrade next year, the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) agents, increased institutional interest through spot ETFs, and a crypto-friendly stance from the next U.S. administration are fueling market optimism."

Ethereum is set to undergo the Pectra upgrade in 2025, which promises improvements such as increasing the validator requirement from 32ETH to 2048ETH, reducing staking costs, and enhancing wallet features.

The media outlet noted, "With the policy shift under the Trump Administration, more projects are expected to fall within legal boundaries. The emergence of AI agents on Layer 2 networks and continuous capital inflow into ETH spot ETFs are also noteworthy. Additionally, the launch of Layer 2 networks by new players like Deutsche Bank is anticipated."
