Ethereum's recovery to all-time highs requires multiple favorable conditions including ETF inflows reversal and macro improvement, making it a slow multi-year process compared to early-stage projects
Too little corroboration in the last 3 days to call a trend (3 articles). Watching for it to gain traction.
Mainstream financial press is carrying this — attention has broadened beyond specialist outlets.
"Active addresses dropped 46 percent from the February peak. However, ETHEREUM needs both ETF demand and on-chain activity to improve together before a real trend change takes hold. Right now only one of those boxes is checked."
