ETH's recent performance has been quite promising. The price remains around $3,100, having increased by over 1% in the past day, and the weekly gain is close to 4%, clearly showing a rebound momentum.

The real driving force comes from the technical side. The recent hard fork raised the blob cap to 21, directly amplifying Layer 2's processing capacity, significantly reducing transaction fees, and the TVL of the L2 ecosystem has already surpassed $300 billion. In other words, Ethereum's advantages as a smart contract platform have been further strengthened.

Actions from institutional players are also heating up. ETF capital flows are stabilizing, and major participants are continuously staking large amounts of ETH. Traditional giants like BlackRock have also been more active recently, indicating they are building confidence.

Looking ahead, 2026 will see many new developments—RWA tokenization, restaking protocols, and further upgrade plans (such as Fusaka) will all push for practical application deployment. Market expectations for ETH are also high, with some voices suggesting it could surge to the $4,500-$11,000 range.

In the short term, amid a warming risk appetite, ETH is likely to continue upward. Entering at this position to go long is a relatively comfortable timing.

The mention of the 21 limit on blob is indeed fierce; L2 fees have directly plummeted. This is the real narrative. BlackRock is accumulating? Then I have to get on board too. If big institutions are hoarding, who can still escape?

The blob limit of 21 directly makes this wave the savior of L2, with transaction fees dropping and the entire ecosystem coming back to life. BlackRock is accumulating? Then I also need to stock up a bit, since institutions are quietly buying. The expectation of 4500-11000 is a bit uncertain, but entering at 3100 is indeed comfortable. Let's give it a try. Confident in the technical fundamentals landing, RWA really has a lot of potential.

The blob limit mentioned is 21, and the L2 ecosystem TVL has surpassed 300 billion. This is truly a real fuel injection. The current launch window is indeed comfortable.

The blob limit has increased from 16 to 21, which is indeed a big change. L2 fees have directly plummeted, no wonder the TVL has broken 300 billion... But if you say now is a comfortable time to enter, I wonder if BlackRock's move has already been priced in?

The blob limit mentioned 21, right? With L2 fees cut down like this, it’s definitely much more comfortable. BlackRock is accumulating again, and this pace looks a bit different. Still, I need to keep up. The expectation of 4500-11000 feels a bit bold, but since it’s not considered a high level right now, let’s just let the bullets fly for a while. The 3100 price level is really solid, much more stable than a while ago. The short-term bullish trend is on point. Tokenization of RWA is the real highlight; right now, everyone is just looking forward to it. Let’s wait and see what kind of achievements can be made by 2026.

Blob mentioning 21 is really amazing, L2 is taking off and the transaction fees feel like they can breathe again. Is BlackRock accumulating? Then I better keep a close eye on it. 4500-11000 is a bit bold... but since I've already bought in, let it fly. Institutions stacking confidence, so I follow suit. This logic makes sense. Recently, ETH's rhythm has been quite comfortable, but be cautious of institutional tricks, brother. If RWA truly gets implemented, it might take off. Let's wait and see. The upper limit of blob is a game-changer; the Layer 2 ecosystem could turn the world upside down. It's a bit tempting to enter now, but I'm still waiting for a dip.
