SharpLink Co-CEO: Ethereum TVL Could Grow 10x by 2026

On December 27, Joseph Chalom—Co-CEO of SharpLink Gaming—tweeted that three key trends could drive a significant jump in Ethereum’s Total Value Locked (TVL) by the end of 2026: the stablecoin market hitting $500 billion, growth in tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), and rising interest from sovereign wealth funds. Chalom noted tokenized RWAs will reach $300 billion in 2026, with assets under management (AUM) for tokenized assets growing tenfold. The scope will expand from tokenizing individual funds, stocks, and bonds to entire portfolios, he added. ETH holdings by sovereign wealth funds and the scale of tokenization will also surge 5–10 times, per Chalom. A major catalyst: major financial firms including JPMorgan Chase, Franklin Templeton, and BlackRock have ramped up their interest in Ethereum over the past year. Notably, SharpLink unstaked 35,627 ETH (valued at $104.4 million) earlier this morning.

Ethereum Hits All-Time High in Contract Transaction Volume This Year, Overleveraged Speculation Causes Price to Underperform

On December 27, CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost noted that Ethereum’s contract trading volume this year has far outpaced previous years. For example, Binance’s Ethereum futures trading volume hit over $6.74 trillion in the past year—nearly double 2024’s figure, which already set a record. This makes Ethereum one of the largest assets in the 2025 global derivatives market by trading volume, underscoring strong speculative demand. Over the past year, Binance’s spot-to-futures ratio for ETH has hovered around 0.2: for every $1 invested in ETH spot, nearly $5 went into futures contracts. This ratio signals a market heavily reliant on leverage, reflecting extreme speculation around Ethereum in 2025. The record trading volume paired with this unbalanced ratio means futures largely drive ETH’s price trends. As a result, Ethereum’s price fluctuations this year have often been amplified, volatile, and closely tied to liquidations—ultimately pushing it to a new all-time high by just a few dol

Ethereum Falls Below $2900

On December 26, Ethereum dropped below $2900, per HTX market data, with a 1.23% decline over the past 24 hours.

2026 to Mark Ethereum ZK Rollup Inflection Point: Proof of Stake Sees 'Merge-like' Overhaul

December 26: Ethereum researchers and developers are eyeing 2026 as a pivotal year for the blockchain to unlock exponential scalability via zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs. By then, some validators will stop re-executing transactions and instead directly validate ZK proofs— a fundamental shift in how the network operates, on par with the 2022 merge from proof-of-work (PoW) to proof-of-stake (PoS). Ethereum researcher Justin Drake noted that initial validators will validate ZK proofs for each block rather than re-running all transactions, delivering instant scalability to Layer 1 and laying the groundwork for a future 10,000 transactions per second (TPS). For context, Ethereum’s mainnet currently handles roughly 30 TPS. During Devconnet, Drake demonstrated that ZK proof validation can run on an old laptop. By the end of 2026, around 10% of validators are expected to switch to ZK validation mode (Lean Execution Phase 1). This shift will slash hardware requirements for validator nodes wh

Ethereum Deposit Scale Up, CEX Net Inflow of 142,100 ETH in the Last 24 Hours

As of December 26th, Coinglass data shows total net ETH inflow to centralized exchanges (CEX) hit 142,100 in the past 24 hours. Top 3 CEX inflows: - Binance: 138,900 ETH - Bybit: 8,959.89 ETH - OKX: 2,079.15 ETH Bitfinex led CEX outflows with 3,574.29 ETH withdrawn.

If Ethereum drops below $2900, the mainstream CEX long liquidation volume will reach $802 million

Dec 26: Per Coinglass data, Ethereum’s total long liquidation volume across major centralized exchanges (CEXs) will hit $802 million if the token drops below $2,900. Conversely, if Ethereum breaks above $3,000, total short liquidation volume across major CEXs will reach $228 million. BlockBeats Note: Liquidation charts do not display the exact number of contracts or precise value of contracts being liquidated. The bars on these charts actually reflect the relative importance of each liquidation cluster compared to adjacent clusters—this is referred to as "strength." As a result, the chart shows how impactful reaching a specific price level will be: A higher "liquidation bar" means a more intense reaction will occur once the price hits that level, driven by a liquidity cascade.

Ethereum's Past 7-Day Net Supply Change Increases by 18,614 ETH

December 26 – Data from Ultrasound.money indicates Ethereum’s net supply has increased by 18,614 ETH over the past seven days, bringing its total supply to 121,318,655 ETH. The current annual supply growth rate for Ethereum is 0.8%.

Analysis: 2026 Will Be Ethereum's Key Scalability Moment, Gas Limit to Increase Significantly from 60 Million to 200 Million

December 25th, per Cointelegraph, next year will be a critical period for Ethereum’s scalability. By 2026, Ethereum will undergo the Glamsterdam fork, which will bring near-perfect parallel processing to its mainnet and boost the gas limit significantly—from the current 60 million to 200 million. A large number of validators will shift from re-executing transactions to verifying zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs. This shift will put Ethereum Layer 1 on a path to scale to 10,000+ transactions per second (TPS), though the goal won’t be hit by 2026. Meanwhile, data blocks will grow (each block could reach 72 or more), enabling Layer 2s to process hundreds of thousands of TPS. Layer 2s are also becoming more user-friendly: ZKsync’s recent Atlas upgrade lets users keep funds on the mainnet while transacting in the ZKsync rollup’s fast execution environment. A planned Ethereum interoperability layer will facilitate seamless cross-chain operations between Layer 2s, with a focus on privacy.

Dragonfly Partner: Solana and Ethereum Will Both Benefit from Asset Tokenization Wave

December 25th: Dragonfly General Partner Rob Hadick told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” in an interview that as asset tokenization trends accelerate and on-chain economic activity grows, both Solana and Ethereum will benefit from this wave—not a zero-sum game. “Both are Facebooks,” he said. He noted that Ethereum currently powers most stablecoins and core economic activity, while Solana holds a bigger edge in high-frequency trading and transaction throughput efficiency. Data from RWA XYZ shows a wide gap in total asset scale across the two networks: Ethereum (including stablecoins) totals ~$183.7 billion, while Solana stands at ~$15.9 billion, per CoinTelegraph.

If Ethereum drops below $2,800, the mainstream CEX long liquidation amount will reach $796 million

**December 25th Update** According to Coinglass data, Ethereum’s cumulative long liquidation intensity across major centralized exchanges (CEXs) will hit $796 million if the token falls below $2800. Conversely, cumulative short liquidation intensity on major CEXs will reach $889 million if Ethereum breaks above $3100. **BlockBeats Note** Liquidation charts do not display the exact number of contracts awaiting liquidation or the precise value of contracts being liquidated. The bars on these charts actually reflect how important each liquidation cluster is relative to its adjacent clusters—i.e., "intensity." Thus, the chart shows the extent to which the underlying asset’s price will be affected when it hits a specific level. A taller "liquidation bar" signals a more intense price reaction due to a liquidity cascade.

Vitalik: Ethereum Needs to Set a Smart Contract Size Limit Due to DoS Risk

On December 23, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin addressed a community question: “Why does Ethereum still have a contract size limit?” He cited concerns over DoS risks as the core reason. Once Ethereum’s state structure upgrades to a unified binary tree (per EIP-7864), unlimited contract size is anticipated. However, gas costs and mechanism design for deploying extremely large contracts still need to be resolved. Currently, costs are calculated on a per-byte basis, leading to an actual contract size cap of around 82KB.

Ethereum Community Foundation Calls for End to Ellipsis Truncation Address Practice to Mitigate "Address Spoofing" Risk

On December 21, the Ethereum Community Foundation posted on Platform X in response to the "50 Million USDT Phishing Attack" incident, calling for an end to truncating cryptocurrency addresses with ellipses (e.g., 0xbaf4b1aF...B6495F8b5). Addresses must be fully displayed—hiding the middle portion creates unnecessary risks. Some wallets and blockchain explorers currently offer UI options with security flaws, but these issues can be fixed. As previously reported, the phisher generated an address matching the victim’s in the first and last three digits, then sent 0.005 USDT to the victim’s address. When the whale either transferred funds officially or copied the address from the latest transaction record, the full 50 million USDT went to the phisher’s spoofed address. The phisher quickly swapped the 50 million USDT for DAI (to avoid freezing) before converting all of it into 16,624 ETH. These ETH were later laundered via Tornado.

Ethereum's "Glamsterdam" Upgrade Targeted for 2026, Aims to Reduce MEV Exploitation

December 21 — Ethereum developers recently wrapped up the Fusaka upgrade (built to cut node operating costs) and have now kicked off full planning for the 2026 "Glamsterdam" upgrade. The "Glamsterdam" name combines two simultaneous upgrades to Ethereum’s two core layers: - The Execution Layer (home to transaction rules and smart contracts) will undergo the Amsterdam upgrade; - The Consensus Layer (responsible for coordinating validators and finalizing blocks) will roll out the Gloas upgrade. At the heart of these changes are proposer-builder separation (ePBS) and a block-level Access Control List (ACL) — both aimed at curbing manipulation and abuse tied to Maximum Extractable Value (MEV).

Tom Lee's Fund Analyst: Bitcoin Could Fall to $60,000 to $65,000 and Ethereum to $1,800 to $2,000 in the First Half of 2026

On December 20th, Sean Farrell—Fundstrat’s Director of Cryptocurrency Strategy (reporting to Tom Lee)—stated in the firm’s *2026 Cryptocurrency Outlook* report: “While Bitcoin and the broader crypto market still have strong long-term bullish drivers, liquidity-fueled support is expected to emerge in 2026, we may still need to price in several risks in Q1/Q2 2026, which could create more attractive entry points.” My baseline call: A more notable pullback will hit H1 2026. Bitcoin could drop to $60,000–$65,000, Ethereum to $1,800–$2,000, and SOL to $50–$75. These levels will offer better positioning opportunities ahead of year-end. If this call proves wrong, I still favor a defensive stance, waiting for confirmation signals of a strengthening trend. Year-end targets: ~$115,000 for Bitcoin, ~$4,500 for Ethereum. Within this framework, ETH will show more pronounced relative strength. This makes sense, as Ethereum has more favorable structural fund flow traits: no miner selling pres

Analyst: Ethereum Key Support Level at $2,772

Ethereum is expected to increase the Gas Limit to 80 million in January 2026.

On December 18th, Ethereum’s transaction throughput is set to rise again next month as developers plan to increase the network’s gas limit from 60 million to 80 million in January. However, Ethereum Foundation Developer Operations Engineer Barnabas Busa noted that two client-side optimizations must be completed before the limit is raised again: partial Blob responses at the execution layer and setting a maximum Blob flag at the consensus layer. All Ethereum core developers will reconvene on January 5th to confirm the timeline for raising the gas limit following the second BPO hard fork. The first BPO hard fork occurred on December 9th, boosting blob capacity by 66%; the second, scheduled for January 7th, will add another 66% increase. Ethereum developers and research community members have reached a consensus that the network’s gas limit should hit 180 million by the end of 2026. (Source: Cointelegraph)
