In its ecosystem, the progress of Ethereum 2.0 is significant. The transition to proof - of - stake is reducing energy consumption and increasing network security, attracting more institutional and long - term investors. Also, the booming decentralized finance (DeFi) applications on Ethereum are driving up demand. For instance, new lending and borrowing protocols with higher yields and improved user experiences are attracting more users, leading to increased demand for Ethereum to pay for gas fees and participate in these applications.
