The bull market is coming. Should I buy or not buy before the ETF is passed? Can Ethereum lead the altcoins to rise?

If ETH's ETF is passed smoothly, the projects in the ETH ecosystem will also benefit, and the increase may exceed ETH.

Layer2: ARB, OP, STRK, METIS, MANT

AARB has the highest TVL and the largest number of Dapps among all projects. However, arb's pull is relatively weak, and there have been a lot of unlocks recently.

The advantage of OP lies in the super chain ecosystem formed by the op stack, which has gathered a large number of excellent projects and capital. Historically, the pull of OP is stronger than that of arb, which may be the preference of funds.

STRK is the layer2 of the zk core, and its ecological suggestions and users are not as good as the first two. However, its circulating market value is lower than that of arb and OP, and it has been falling all the way after listing, and has not had a decent rebound.

METIS was a hot spot for some time before. It started as a decentralized sorter and had a very large callback after listing on Binance.

MANTA is a representative of layer2 created in a modular way. The team is very hard-working, and the ecological project is developing very rapidly. In addition, the circulating market value is only 400 million US dollars, which is the lowest among them.

LSD: LDO, SSVLSD protocol is mainly a node-related pledge service that appeared after ETH Shanghai upgraded from POW to POS. LDO is the largest service provider, with the highest TVL in the entire network and a circulating market value of 2 billion. SSV is the infrastructure setting of distributed nodes, and its recent performance is not bad.

Restaking: PENDLE, ETHFI, REZ

Stablecoins based on ETH collateral: ENA, LBR

There are many ways to issue stablecoins. One of them is the issuance of collateral assets, and the largest collateral asset is undoubtedly ETH. After LSD and Restaking, the project party will use the collateralized ETH to obtain liquidity income. Such stablecoins have a natural rate of return. At the same time, the project party will carry out some token incentives, as well as dividends from minting loans, etc., so the annual income is very considerable.
