Core Insights - Ethereum continues to build long-term value despite short-term price struggles, with ongoing core upgrades and adoption milestones being overshadowed by market volatility [1] - The Shanghai upgrade in 2023 resolved major liquidity issues by allowing users to unstake and withdraw ETH freely, with only 5% of validators exiting, and no anticipated mass sell-off occurring [2] - Recent network upgrades, including the Fusaka upgrade, have significantly increased Ethereum's transaction activity and reduced costs, with daily transactions reaching a record 2.9 million in January 2026 [3] Future Developments - The upcoming Glamsterdam upgrade is expected to enhance execution efficiency and proposer-builder separation, followed by the Hegota upgrade targeting state growth management and long-term node sustainability [4] - The Ethereum Foundation is investing in post-quantum cryptography research, allocating $2 million in prizes to ensure future security [4] Institutional Interest - Institutional interest in Ethereum has been growing, with the launch of Spot Ethereum ETFs in 2024 providing a regulated pathway for traditional finance to gain ETH exposure [5] - In early 2026, 82% of surveyed institutional investors indicated plans to increase their ETH exposure, with significant purchases made by firms like Bitmine, which added over $116 million in ETH [6] - More than 35 major players have expanded their deployments on the Ethereum network, further solidifying its position as the preferred base layer for tokenizing real-world assets [6]
Whatever You Do, Don't Buy Cardano Until This 1 Thing Happens

Core Insights - Cardano (CRYPTO: ADA) is currently not recommended for investment until it demonstrates a specific competitive advantage that distinguishes it from other cryptocurrencies [1][5] - The blockchain has focused on a rigorous research and development process, but lacks a strong economic moat that would protect it from competitors [3][5] Current Positioning - Cardano is involved in decentralized finance (DeFi) and stablecoins but is only marginally competitive in these areas, which may not lead to significant investor returns [4][5] - The lack of a unique niche or superior outcomes compared to rivals has resulted in Cardano's underperformance relative to other major cryptocurrencies over the past three years [5] Metrics to Monitor - Investors should monitor two key metrics to assess Cardano's potential for improvement: 1. An increase in total value locked (TVL) over multiple quarters [7] 2. The attraction of long-term applications, indicated by app revenue, the number of new apps launched monthly, and the count of monthly active wallet addresses [7] Investment Considerations - Cardano is designed for smart contracts but must outperform its peers to succeed in the competitive blockchain landscape [9] - Current recommendations suggest exploring other investment opportunities until Cardano shows significant progress in the aforementioned metrics [8][10]
