Ethereum celebrated its tenth anniversary on Wednesday, marking ten years since the birth of its first block. So, what will the next ten years look like?
In its first decade, Ethereum has become the second largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, successfully facing survival threats and evolving in various ways.
What can we expect from Ethereum in the next decade? Decrypt interviewed several top Ethereum experts to learn about their predictions.
The next five years
The predictors at Myriad Markets believe that the likelihood of Ethereum reaching a historic high before the end of the year is 64%, which would set a good tone for its second decade—especially considering that the current record has not been broken since 2021, while Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies have reached more recent highs.
Within this time frame, the network is expected to conduct

If you are still holding onto the hope of getting rich quickly and fantasizing about the "lazy winning opportunities of a tenfold or hundredfold bull market," you may have been completely abandoned by the market. Why?
Because smart money has already discovered a secret: the current Crypto no longer applies a single strategy, but rather four completely different gameplay cycles are running simultaneously:
The rhythm, gameplay, and profit logic of each game cycle are completely different.
——Bitcoin Super Cycle: Retail Investors Exit, a Decade-Long Slow Bull Market May Become a Certainty
The "script" of the traditional halving cycle? Completely invalid! BTC has evolved from a "speculative asset" to an "institutional allocation asset." The capital scale and allocation logic of Wall Street, listed companies, and ETFs are completely different from the retail investors' "bull-bear switching" play.
What are the key changes? Retail investors are massively handing over their chips, while institutional funds represented by MicroStrategy are entering the market frantically. This kind of筹

The real revolution in Crypto Assets lies in its invisible integration into daily life, rather than explicit applications. High-profile social, financial, and gaming projects have failed, while the development of technologies that are hidden, such as Telegram and stablecoin payments, will drive widespread adoption. In the future, applications for a billion users will no longer mention "encryption", but will instead focus on better solving user problems.

Ethereum's rise this month has reached a new high since July 2022, and Vitalik claims it will never stop. Tokens like SUI will be unlocked this week, with Solana ranking first in public chain activity, and Ethereum showing the highest increase. Bitcoin continues to be accumulated, BNB reaches an all-time high, and SharpLink Gaming has purchased and staked ETH. Blue-chip NFTs are rising across the board, with a 97.4% probability that the Fed will maintain interest rates.

In the wild world of Web3, launchpads have become the rocket fuel for the Meme Coins craze. Whether you are a radical investor who loves memes, a no-code cryptocurrency creator, or a serious team testing ideas on-chain, today's blockchain ecosystem offers unprecedented tools to launch Tokens—and communities.
Although Solana has taken the lead with Pump.fun and its viral derivative, chains like TRON, BNB Chain, Sui, and Polygon have also joined the competition by launching their own Meme Priority Token platforms.

Bitcoin ( BTC ) is a once-in-a-lifetime asset. Since 2009, its price has skyrocketed by 40 billion times, enough to turn a small investment of 100 USD into 4 billion USD. I know many early adopters of Bitcoin who have changed their lives because of it. Some smaller cryptocurrencies are also following in Bitcoin's footsteps. With the easing of the regulatory environment, more cryptocurrencies will welcome growth.
However, despite the rapid growth of the cryptocurrency market, its scale is still very small. The market capitalization of just Microsoft (MSFT) exceeds the total of Bitcoin and all other cryptocurrencies! Why is that? Until recently, the cryptocurrency market was mainly dominated by individual investors, and large institutions on Wall Street had hardly ventured into it. Even when Wall Street occasionally invests in cryptocurrencies, it almost only buys Bitcoin. This is also an important reason why Bitcoin occupies nearly two-thirds of the entire cryptocurrency market.
But this era is coming to an end. Hua

Ethereum is once again stirring up excitement, but this time it is not in the slow and steady style of the past. What we are witnessing is a vertical surge in prices, billions of dollars flowing in, and a trend of the entire market leaning towards Ethereum.
If you're curious about why Ethereum suddenly surged, let's analyze the real reasons behind this rise and why the bulls may have just begun to gain momentum.
1. Spot Ethereum ETF demand surges
The net inflow of US spot ETFs last week reached $2.18 billion, setting a new record for weekly net inflows. This influx of funds is unstoppable, with various types of investors buying in, from retail investors to hedge funds and asset management companies.
More importantly, this has fundamentally changed the demand dynamics. These ETFs need to be backed by real Ethereum ( rather than paper derivatives ) to support their shares. This means that, in order to meet the demand, the market must continuously purchase Ethereum on the spot market.

Recently, the profitability status of Ethereum Addresses has reached new highs, driven by institutions; Trump Group's Bitcoin reserves reached 2 billion; Coinbase launched Futures Trading for cryptocurrencies. Inflows for Ethereum and Bitcoin ETFs have surged, and GameSquare has been approved to increase its crypto treasury. The White House will release its first cryptocurrency policy report.
