The upgrade improved the staking mechanism, expanded Layer 2 blob support, and introduced account abstraction. Around the same time, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin proposed simplifying the network's architecture to boost long-term resilience and competitiveness, aiming to reach Bitcoin-level simplicity within five years. Leadership changes at the Ethereum Foundation also signaled a renewed commitment to reform and sustainable growth. These developments reignited market confidence, especially among long-term ETH holders, and triggered a sharp price rally of nearly 40% in just over a day—pushing ETH to the top of trending searches on platforms like TikTok.
