2025 turned out to be quite the year for Ethereum. The network rolled out two major protocol upgrades that kept the development moving forward, while external macro shifts and new legislative moves across different regions added complexity to the broader crypto environment. All these factors played their part in shaping where ETH ended up price-wise. Between the technical improvements and the regulatory landscape shifting, there's plenty to unpack about what really moved the needle for Ethereum this year.

NGL, the upgrade is an upgrade, but the regulators are really dumping the market.

Two upgrades sound good, but honestly, regulation is the real trump card.

ngl two upgrades sound good, but whether the market can really be driven up still depends on how the regulatory attitude shifts 🤔

actually, if we break this down through the lens of ecosystem dynamics... the upgrades are neat and all, but let's be real—macro conditions and regulatory theater moved the needle way more than any code commits. that's just empirically what we're seeing rn

No matter how many upgrades there are, they can't stop policy-driven dumps. By 2025, ETH will be like this.
