The next 25 years will be a time for Ethereum to shine. Currently, staking for spot ETFs is not allowed, and ETFs cannot be staked, including Grayscale's Ethereum, which also cannot be staked. This explains one of the reasons why the inflow of funds into BTC's ETF has always been much higher than that of Ethereum.
Once Trump comes to power and changes the policy, it is highly likely that staking will be allowed. After all, Trump's largest holdings, aside from some altcoins, are in Ethereum. Once staking is introduced, not only can the annualized rate increase, but there will also be dividends to earn interest. The target audience for this will be the large whales holding Ethereum, including institutions, and of course, the subsequent developments may also include listed companies.
So, the introduction of staking will have the most impact on the Ethereum ecosystem, especially in the staking sector. Currently, the standout altcoins in the staking sector, LDO and SSV, are good choices. I believe that once the staking function is launched, the dividends to be earned will also include those from secondary altcoins!
Since the market began in March-April, Ethereum has been shunned by retail investors. But have you noticed that Ethereum's decline has led to altcoins being suppressed for nearly eight months, causing everyone to suffer from the bloodsucking and selling pressure brought by VC coins? By November, when Ethereum returned to its annual high and broke through 4000, most altcoins followed with an increase of 2-3 times.
Therefore, without the increase in Ethereum, altcoins are unlikely to have a breakthrough. The staking function of Ethereum's ETF is coming soon, and Ethereum's upgrade is also on the way, so the anticipated altcoin season is coming soon!
