Ethereum's got what it takes to dominate 2026. Think about it—the scaling solutions are maturing, institutional adoption keeps accelerating, and the ecosystem's liquidity is reaching new depths. While other chains are doing their thing, ETH's combination of network effects and developer activity creates a moat that's hard to ignore. Layer 2s are pulling real volume, DeFi keeps innovating on Ethereum, and staking yields are attractive enough to keep capital locked in. Sure, there'll be competitors trying to chip away, but Ethereum's lead in infrastructure and ecosystem depth isn't getting closed anytime soon. 2026 could be the year everything clicks for Ethereum.

Ironically, I also said this in 2024. So, what was the result?

Will Ethereum take off in 2026? Hold on, can Layer2 really handle that much volume?

nah the real alpha is watching where the MEV extraction actually concentrates... layer 2s pulling volume is cute but have u checked the cross-chain correlation patterns lately? smth's off with the liquidity dynamics

Nah, layer2s are hot, but the real liquidity is still on the mainnet. This guy is being too optimistic.

Really? Is L2 really boosting volume? Why haven't I seen it?

Will Ethereum take off in 2026? That's hilarious. L2 is still in the tuning phase.

ngl the L2 volume talk always glosses over finality guarantees tho... what's your consensus layer actually doing under load? that's where the real separation happens
