Ethereum’s Biggest Upgrade Yet: Pectra Is Here
cyclop
Biggest Ethereum upgrade EVER happened 2 hours ago.
No one’s talking about it - yet.
But you’ll feel it.
Just like $ETH price will.
Meet Pectra: what it changes, why it’s huge, and what’s next for ETH 🧵👇

1/➮ Today marks the most bullish ETH update ever in crypto - Pectra
✧ The update itself is indeed very impressive, with many long-awaited changes
✧ But will it solve Ethereum's main problem - the lack of price growth?
Let’s break it down👇
2/➮ The update is happening today, May 7 and this upgrade is aimed right for the ppl
So, what’s changing:
- TXs
- Safe Updates
- Smart Wallets
- Staking
Now let’s take a closer look at each one:
3/➮ TXs
✧ Approvals will no longer be needed, and swaps can finally be done in a single transaction
✧ Moreover, you’ll be able to perform multiple actions within one transaction
✧ And anyone can sponsor TXs, meaning you won’t need to hold ETH on every network
4/➮ Safe Updates
✧ A new feature called Spending Control is being introduced
✧ This means daily withdrawal limits from your wallet
✧ There will also be other major security upgrades, which will make transactions faster and cheaper
5/➮ Smart Wallets
✧ One more key thing to be introduced is the Recovery mechanics
✧ These recovery mechanisms use Account Abstraction technology
✧ It turns wallets into smart contract wallets, giving them programmable logic
6/➮ Staking
✧ Staking will become more flexible and efficient by raising the validator cap from 32 to 2048 ETH
✧ There will also be faster deposit recognition and smart contract-enabled withdrawals
✧ This will give more control over assets for validators and stakers
7/➮ Overall, the situation with ETH still doesn't look good, as it is underperforming compared to both SOL and BTC
✧ In fact, it is even at mid-term lows while BTC is nearly at $100k
But remember, an asset can't rise or fall forever
8/➮ Despite everything, u should not write off ETH considering its historical ability to recover quickly
✧ And we will definitely see the next narrative with ETH, just like we saw with restaking and many other things
✧ This narrative could even be the Pectra update itself
9/➮ Remember that crypto is changing fast: metas come and go:
ETH could make a very quick comeback
✧ That’s why I continue to accumulate ETH, (but ofc I’m also keeping an eye on other assets like SOL/BTC)
(Hold much more ETH than SOL rn btw, as R/R is much better)
10/➮ I think this update gave Ethereum exactly what it was missing - usability.
Finally, they stopped focusing smart contracts, scalability, and ecology, and actually started thinking about user experience - so that ppl don’t feel sick using MetaMask after trying Phantom.
That’s why I believe this update is a quiet turning point for bringing ETH back into the meta.
11/➮ I don’t think Ethereum is the “Nokia” of crypto - far from it. I’m confident it still has a major move left in it (even if it underperforms SOL for a year).
Right now the setup is strong: ETH/BTC at historic lows, peak bearish sentiment.
You’ll be shocked how fast the FUDders turn into believers on the first real pump.
$10K ETH is inevitable.

Strategy Inc. controls 3.26% of all Bitcoin but faces a liquidity cliff. With $54M cash, $700M annual dividends, collapsing equity premiums, and potential MSCI index exclusion, it risks forced BTC sales that could shatter both its model and the market.

In just five hours, the SP 500 erased $2T in market cap as Nvidia flipped from +6% to -3% despite record earnings. No headline caused it—extreme leverage, binary AI-driven sentiment, and record margin debt triggered a mechanical, fear-fueled reversal.

The implosion of Stream Finance’s xUSD and its contagion across DeFi wasn’t a hack—it was systemic failure. Recursive leverage, fake transparency, and circular dependencies revealed a harsh truth: DeFi’s “stable” yield is built on fragility and denial.
YQ/6 days ago
Crypto got everything it asked for—ETFs, regulation, adoption—and prices still fell. The truth: most tokens trade at absurd multiples on casino-style revenue. Until real users and recurring value emerge, this isn’t a bull market—it’s a reality check.
Santiago R Santos/7 days ago
Unlike previous fake death crosses that occurred above the EMA50, Bitcoin has now fallen 6% below it, confirming a true bearish phase. With ETFs and whales both selling, fear rising, and macro stress building, this cycles sentiment shift looks decisive.
