Why Shen Still Bullish on Ethereum in 2026!

First, I've lost quite a bit holding Ethereum.

But Bitcoin makes it nearly impossible for ordinary people to achieve financial freedom without using high-leverage contracts.

Under normal circumstances, Ethereum operates on a mild inflationary model, but once a bull market arrives, it switches to a mild deflationary model, with total supply essentially locked at 120 million coins.

After RWA forced lockups, if by 2028 the world truly sees 2 trillion dollars running on Ethereum, it would require 300 billion dollars worth of ETH staked and locked. Even if Ethereum's price reaches 10,000 dollars, the staking alone would consume 30 million coins—equivalent to half of all Ethereum being locked up. Setting aside all policy discussions, purely from this timeline perspective, Ethereum will definitely have a place in the next bull market. Among mainstream cryptocurrencies in the space, if ordinary people still have a chance at life-changing gains, it's most likely with Ethereum.
