The past couple of days, the community has been buzzing—Ethereum founder V神 suddenly made a statement, saying that Ethereum's future development will "surprise everyone." At first glance, this seems like a typical technical declaration, but those in the know understand that every time this guy makes a public statement, it often triggers huge market waves:

Looking back: In 2015, when he announced the "world computer" vision, ETH later surged 1000x; before the Merge upgrade in 2021, ETH's price jumped from $2,000 directly to $4,800. And this time? What is he pondering?

Current on-chain data already provides some clues. Ethereum's daily active users remain stable above 500,000, and the DeFi ecosystem's total value locked has returned to the $80 billion level. More importantly, 86 million ETH have been staked, accounting for 20% of circulating supply—this indicates that major players have long been betting with real actions.

On the technical side, there are three key upgrade directions rumored in the industry: First, the advancement of Danksharding technology, aiming to increase network throughput by 100 times, with gas fees nearly zero; second, preparations at the application layer, with top projects like Bored Apes and StepN building momentum within the Ethereum ecosystem—once performance bottlenecks are broken through, it could attract millions of new users; finally, a possible overhaul of underlying rules, which might directly impact the entire blockchain competitive landscape.

But to be honest: V神's "surprise" could be a positive signal or could cause intense volatility. So rather than betting on his prophecy, it's better to focus on yourself—manage your positions well, set proper stop-losses, and always keep enough ammunition. Exchanges are always winners; those who use the right tools and strategies will last longer. Opportunities will come, the key is whether you're prepared to seize them.
