Takes no side on Ethereum
ETH Upgrade Without Price Breakout
Stable

Updated 14 October 2026
The argument: The Glamsterdam upgrade has delivered technical improvements to Ethereum's network efficiency, but these enhancements have not yet translated into meaningful price appreciation. Sources note that higher gas ceilings offer limited practical benefit if transactions continue to experience congestion during peak network periods, suggesting the upgrade addresses only part of the scalability challenge.
