THE ETH PARADOX:

On-chain activity is climbing, yet Ethereum's price hasn't kept pace. What's happening?

Institutions are moving capital based on what actually matters: network uptime, deep liquidity pools, and guaranteed settlement finality. That immediately cuts down the competition.

Here's the catch—more transactions mean higher base layer fees. The network's busier than ever, but that pressure sits squarely on Ethereum's foundation. Growth and costs moving in the same direction creates an interesting tension.
