Market Impact Analysis
Ethereum at ~$2.1K looks weak on the surface — but the real story is structural, not price-driven.
The Layer 2 expansion has officially moved from narrative to dominant execution layer reality. Most activity has migrated off L1, transforming Ethereum into a settlement + data availability backbone rather than a user-facing chain.
This creates a critical shift in how ETH should be valued:
Bull Case:
L2 growth expands the total economic surface area → more settlement demand → stronger ETH as collateral + base asset
Bear Case:
Activity moves off-chain → fee compression on L1
