#ETH走势分析 Friends who stayed up late watching the market yesterday must have witnessed history—the Ethereum Fusaka upgrade went live right on schedule at 5:49 AM Beijing time on December 4. This wasn’t just a minor patch; it was a massive gift package for Layer 2s.
The most obvious change? Data throughput can now reach up to 8 times the previous capacity. What does this mean? Those Rollup projects that used to fight for bandwidth now have a much wider highway. The pressure on nodes to sync data has also decreased, making the whole network run noticeably smoother. The market reacted directly too, with ETH surging as much as 3.5% that day. Although it has since pulled back to fluctuate above $3,200, the technical upside has already opened up.
Here’s another piece of news that might be underestimated—Japan is getting serious. The Financial Services Agency has submitted a proposal directly to the ruling party to slash the crypto gains tax from a staggering 55% to 20%. This tax rate has long been a nightmare for Japanese retail investors, but now it’s finally set to match that of stocks. Startale Labs CEO Sota Watanabe put it bluntly: if this passes within the year, along with the approval of spot ETFs, the Japanese market will basically be fully activated.
Institutions aren’t sitting idle either. BitMine Immersion Technologies has scooped up about 680,000 ETH in the past month, pouring in $2.1 billion. Their goal of "holding 5% of the total network supply" is now more than 60% complete, with $880 million in cash still on hand. Buying like this means either a long-term belief in ETH staking yields, or a strategic bet on the next bull run.
Technical upgrades + policy easing + institutional buying—these three things coming together, isn’t that quite the coincidence?$ETH $BTC $BNB

680,000 ETH, now that's real spot trading. Retail investors keep talking about holding coins, but these guys are throwing $2.1 billion in for real.

Japan’s tax cut this time is really aggressive. Retail investors can finally catch a break. Institutions are still buying like crazy—something feels off about this pace.

I stayed up late to watch the upgrade and now my eyes are a bit blurry, but ETH really delivered this time. An 8x increase in throughput is insane.
Japan cutting the tax rate to 20%? If that actually happens, Japanese retail investors will go crazy, and there could be a huge inflow of funds.
BitMine is going hardcore with this buying spree, throwing in $2.1 billion just like that. They're really going all in.
Technology + policy + whales all in action—bull market incoming? Or are we about to get harvested again?
No matter what, I still love my spot holdings. It just feels more comfortable.

Haha, it's another story of institutions buying in bulk. I've been through this before; they were saying the same things during that wave in 2018. And what happened then?
I'll believe it when institutions put real money in, but can this APY really hold up?
Japan cutting the tax rate to 20% is indeed nice, but I'm worried it's just talk on paper, and implementation will be a different story.

Bro, no matter how fancy they make this upgrade sound, it's all just talk. I just want to know when it will get back to 4000+.
Institutions are accumulating? That just makes me want to run even more. Usually when they make a move, it’s our turn to be the bag holders.
The Japan tax reform sounds nice, but it’ll still take time to actually happen. Don’t count on it saving the market.
As for 3200, I definitely don’t dare to buy here. Anyone buying now is a martyr.

The key issue here is the tax reform in Japan. Cutting the rate from 55 to 20 will directly activate a market—it's much more significant than an upgrade announcement.

Oh no, I overslept during that 5:49 a.m. wave. I only found out what I missed after I woke up, and now I really regret it.
Institutions are dumping ETH so aggressively, I’m only worried about one thing—are they truly bullish for the long-term or just pumping it up to dump? The timing is a bit too coordinated.
Japan cutting tax rates to 20%? Here we go again, another “once restrictions are lifted, people will rush in like crazy” story. I've heard this plenty of times, and it never ends up being that dramatic.
8x throughput sounds great, but I care more about when real applications will actually use it. Otherwise, it’s just pretty numbers.
Wait, did the Fusaka upgrade get renamed? Why does the name sound so unfamiliar?
