Recently, there have been many voices optimistic about Ethereum's performance this year. Some analysts believe 2026 will be a pivotal year for Ether, with a high likelihood of outperforming the market and becoming more competitive compared to other cryptocurrencies.

A more aggressive view is that if Ethereum can continue to consolidate its leading position in stablecoins, RWA (Real-World Assets on Chain), and DeFi, it could reach $40,000 by the end of 2030. Although this target seems far away, based on its depth of application in these three sectors, there are indeed fundamental supports for this expectation.

Honestly, whether these predictions will come true depends on future market performance and technological development, but currently, Ethereum's ecosystem in these areas is indeed continuously improving.

40,000 dollars? Wake up, buddy. Let's see how the market performs this year first. --- Stablecoins, RWA, and DeFi are indeed ETH's moat, but whether it can hold them is another matter. --- People say 2026 is a key year, but every year is a key year. --- Predictions are always so optimistic; real corrections are the textbook. --- The RWA track does have potential, but claiming 40,000 is a bit far-fetched. --- A complete ecosystem is good, but market sentiment is the real boss. --- Anyway, I don't trust these numbers. Let's wait for the correction to be over. --- Here we go again, same old rhetoric as last year.

$40,000? Dreaming, right? Haha --- If ETH really takes off this time, how will other coins survive? --- The stablecoin sector is indeed ETH's moat; that hasn't changed. --- 2030 still feels far away. Let’s focus on this year first. --- Many analysts make these predictions every year; just take them as stories. --- If ETH could really rise like that, I would have gone all in already. --- DeFi still has some room for imagination; the other two sectors are too uncertain. --- Huh, a standout performance? Why didn’t it happen last year? --- While the ecosystem is well-developed, where is the real killer app?

40,000 dollars? Is it a dream or is it real? --- RWA is indeed picking up, but reaching 40,000 is still a bit uncertain. --- I believe 2026 will be a key year; as for 2030, who can say for sure? --- Sounds nice, but it still depends on luck and policies. --- In the stablecoin ecosystem, Ethereum truly has no rivals; others can be considered for now. --- These are old predictions; wake up, everyone. --- DeFi is doing okay, but I need to see more actual implementation of RWA. --- Compared to these predictions, it's more practical to focus on the progress of mainnet upgrades.

April 2030, $40,000? Dream on haha, but RWA is indeed quite interesting. If ETH can truly maintain its position in DeFi and stablecoins, 2026 might just be the beginning. Honestly, it still depends on ecosystem development; just bragging won't do any good. Whether ETH can turn things around in this cycle depends on the next six months. Don't trust empty promises; looking at the technology is the real key. A complete ecosystem is a good thing, but market sentiment is the decisive factor. Feels like we're starting to hype concepts again, stay sober everyone. RWA needs to pick up volume before we can say anything; it's still too early.
