Ethereum (ETH) has once again climbed back toward the $3,300 level, a price zone it has repeatedly failed to hold over the past 60 days. This repeated rejection has raised concerns among market participants about whether Ethereum can establish a sustainable bullish trend heading into 2026.
Despite Ethereum’s continued technological upgrades and its dominant position in terms of total value locked (TVL), market sentiment remains cautious. Many traders question whether ETH has enough momentum to reclaim the $4,000 level in the near term, especially as broader crypto market conditions remain fragile.
Since November, Ether’s price action has closely mirrored the overall cryptocurrency market. The lack of upside momentum appears to be driven less by structural issues within Ethereum itself and more by a noticeable slowdown in decentralized application (DApp) usage across the ecosystem. Whether due to macroeconomic uncertainty or shifting investor risk appetite, ETH’s short-term upside continues to face limitations.
Ethereum Moves in Line With the Broader Market as DApp Activity Declines
Despite occasional bursts of optimism across the crypto market, on-chain activity paints a more cautious picture. Transaction volumes across decentralized exchanges (DEXs) have dropped sharply, signaling reduced user engagement.
According to data from DefiLlama, total DEX trading volume over the past two weeks reached $150.4 billion, representing a 55% decline from the all-time high of $340 billion recorded in January 2025. Ethereum’s own seven-day DEX volume currently sits near $9 billion, down significantly from the $27.8 billion peak seen in October 2025.
This 65% contraction in activity has pushed Ethereum network fees down to approximately $2.6 million, marking an 87% decrease compared to levels recorded just three months earlier. Nevertheless, Ethereum continues to dominate the DEX landscape, accounting for roughly 50% of total market share when including activity across major layer-2 networks such as Base, Arbitrum, and Polygon.
Institutional Confidence Remains, Despite Rising Competition
Ethereum’s leadership in total value locked continues to signal strong institutional preference, even as competing networks like Tron, Solana, and BNB Chain generate higher transaction fees. Critics argue that Ethereum has yet to fully capitalize on its smart contract deposit advantage, but this appears largely intentional, reflecting its long-term rollup-centric scaling strategy.
In contrast, Solana currently processes more transactions than the next ten largest networks combined. According to Nansen, Ethereum handled approximately 54.4 million transactions over the past 30 days, while the Base layer-2 network alone recorded over 600 million transactions during the same period. This highlights differing architectural philosophies, with Solana relying on high-throughput base-layer execution, while Ethereum emphasizes modular scalability.
Prolonged Price Weakness Poses Challenges for ETH-Focused Firms
The extended two-month period with ETH trading below $3,200 has created pressure for companies that raised capital or issued equity to build ETH reserves. For example, Bitmine Immersion (BMNR US) reportedly holds Ethereum worth $13.2 billion, yet its stock trades at a 9% discount to its underlying asset value, according to CoinGecko data.
At present, it remains unclear what catalyst could reignite strong upside momentum for Ether, especially as rival networks continue to offer comparable DApps with lower costs and faster execution through base-layer scalability.
Ethereum’s path back toward $4,000 and beyond will likely depend on a recovery in blockchain application demand and a renewed risk-on environment among crypto investors, particularly as uncertainty surrounding the US macroeconomic outlook persists.

Bitdeer z Singapuru przekroczył amerykańskiego miniera MARA pod względem całkowitej mocy obliczeniowej.
Bitdeer z Singapuru stał się największym minierem Bitcoin, według The Block. Publikacja zauważyła, że przewyższyła amerykańską firmę MARA pod względem mocy obliczeniowej wykorzystywanej do wydobycia najważniejszej kryptowaluty.
Według Bitdeer na koniec 2025 roku „całkowita wydajność haszująca pod zarządem” firmy wynosiła 71 EH/s (exahash na sekundę). Z tego 55,2 EH/s stanowiło wydajność haszującą własnych eksploatowanych urządzeń. MARA, która w ostatnich latach była liderem branży, zgłosiła „aktywną wydajność haszującą” wynoszącą 61,7 EH/s.
