Updated: Dec 24 2025- Smart Contract Reform: Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin's EIP 7864 proposal aims to eliminate the smart contract size limit by altering how contract code is stored and accessed, enabling developers to deploy larger and more complex contracts, which enhances design flexibility while mitigating denial of service risks.
- Layer 2 Activity Concentration: In 2025, Ethereum's Layer 2 usage is heavily concentrated around a few major rollup networks, with established ecosystems like Base and Arbitrum dominating user engagement, despite newer networks struggling to retain users after short-term incentives fade, indicating a trend towards market consolidation.
- Price Resistance Reemerges: Ethereum has once again failed to break the $3,000 resistance level, currently trading around $2,931, with analysts warning that if it does not reclaim this level soon, it may test the $2,800 support zone, which could impact investor confidence and lead to further price declines.
- Market Dynamics Monitoring: Trading data indicates key support areas for Ethereum around $2,800 and $2,550, with market participants closely watching these levels for trading decisions during the consolidation phase in late 2025.
