The year 2024 is an extraordinary year for Ethereum, experiencing market fluctuations following the approval of the U.S. spot ETF, as well as facing competition from Solana and various "anti-Ethereum" remarks. The price trend has been tumultuous, starting from over two thousand dollars at the beginning of the year to over four thousand dollars in March, then dropping back to the low two thousands, and rising again to over four thousand dollars. On July 23, the U.S. spot Ethereum ETF was launched, with explosive trading volume, but did not achieve excessive gains. In August, the price began to decline, falling from a peak of $3366 to a low of $2111. After President Trump won the election, the price of Ethereum rose again to $4170. Technical advancements such as Ethereum 2.0, Layer 2 scalability solutions, and others have also impacted the market. The year 2024 also includes technical updates like Beam Chain, Dencun upgrade, Pectra upgrade, as well as the advancement of cross-chain/Rollup standards. The challenges and opportunities that Ethereum faces in 2024 ultimately point to a pending question: what lies ahead in the future?
