Ethereum educator Anthony Sassano predicts the network’s gas limit could increase three to five times next year, following a recent 33% increase from 45 million to 60 million. In an exclusive interview on the Bankless podcast, Sassano revealed that core developers are targeting significant scaling improvements for the blockchain, with the 180 million gas limit representing a baseline expectation rather than an optimistic projection.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has publicly justified the network’s 45-day unstaking queue as a critical defense mechanism, sparking intense debate across the crypto community. His response comes after Galaxy Digital’s Michael Marcantonio criticized the lengthy withdrawal process as ‘troubling’ and unsuitable for global capital markets, highlighting a fundamental tension between user experience and blockchain security.

A software bug in Paradigm’s Reth execution client caused multiple nodes to stall at block 2,327,426 on September 2, but the Ethereum network remained largely unaffected due to strong client diversity. With Reth representing only 5.4% of execution layer clients and ranking sixth in usage, the disruption was contained without impacting the broader ecosystem. The incident reinforced the value of Ethereum’s multi-client strategy, as developers emphasized how diverse client implementations protect against single points of failure and maintain network robustness during technical issues.

Ethereum is experiencing significant selling pressure with $1.2 billion in taker sell volume driving prices down 2.4% to $4,272. The sell-off reflects unwinding speculative long positions and historical September weakness, with analysts noting potential for further correction toward $3,500. Trading volumes have halved to $57 billion and funding rates dropped below 10%, indicating reduced leverage appetite. However, institutional demand remains robust with spot ETFs absorbing more ETH than issued on-chain in August, and a Bitcoin whale converting $1 billion into staked ETH. Technical analysis shows ETH consolidating in the $4,200-$4,400 range, with a break below $4,200 potentially accelerating declines to $3,800, while reclaiming $4,600 could restore bullish momentum toward all-time highs.

Technical analyst Benjamin Cowen predicts Ethereum could correct by 20% to its 21-week exponential moving average around $3,500 this September, following historical patterns where six of the last ten Septembers have seen ETH price declines. However, the long-term outlook remains bullish with Wall Street embracing ETH, whales accumulating massive positions, and institutional demand far outstripping supply. Spot ETH ETFs and corporate treasuries purchased over 33 times more ETH than was net issued in August, creating fundamental support for future price appreciation despite current retail selling pressure and a short-term downtrend that may continue through most of September before a Q4 recovery.
about Ethereum Price Correction: Analyst Predicts 20% Drop to $3,500Ethereum ETFs Outpace ETH Issuance 7x on Slow Day
Spot Ethereum ETFs in the U.S. absorbed 17,549 ETH ($65.2 million) on Monday, seven times more than the network’s daily issuance of 2,571 ETH. While inflows were lower than previous days, demand remains robust, with ETFs consistently outpacing ETH production. BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) saw $132 million in inflows, while Fidelity’s FETH experienced a $49.2 million outflow. Since July 2, Ethereum ETFs have seen no outflows, accumulating $3.8 billion in inflows over ten trading days. Analysts predict further price gains for ETH, with some forecasting a potential surge to $4,700 or even $5,000 in the coming weeks, citing historical bullish trends in August post-Bitcoin halving years.

Ethereum (ETH) soared to $2,822, its highest level since February, breaking past the $2,700 resistance barrier. Traders are optimistic, with targets set at $3,000 and beyond, citing strong market sentiment and key catalysts like regulatory clarity and Bitcoin’s rally. Analysts highlight Ethereum’s improved ETH/BTC ratio and bullish technicals, while altcoins like Chainlink and Uniswap also posted significant gains. The crypto market cap reached $3.57 trillion, its highest since late May, signaling renewed investor confidence.

Ethereum’s price skyrocketed 20% in 24 hours, hitting $2,234—its best performance since 2021—driven by the Pectra upgrade going live on May 7. The upgrade slashed ETH’s annual inflation from 0.7% to -0.5%, making it deflationary again, while daily burn rates doubled. Analysts, including MMCrypto, now see a bullish path to $3,700, citing reduced supply pressures. Ethereum also dominates tokenization (58% market share) and stablecoins (55%), positioning it as a leader in real-world asset adoption. The surge liquidated $280M in shorts, signaling strong momentum.

Ethereum core developer Tim Beiko has warned against rolling back the network to its state before the Bybit hack, citing the complexity and potential consequences of such a move. Unlike the 2016 DAO exploit, the recent hack involved a legitimate-looking transaction that cannot be easily reversed without significant ripple effects across the ecosystem. Advocates for a rollback, including industry figures, have been met with skepticism as the implications could far exceed the $1.5 billion lost, potentially harming many innocent users.
about Ethereum Rollback Proposal Faces Technical Challenges After Bybit HackEthereum Developers Reject Rollback After Bybit Hack Amid Controversy
Ethereum developer Tim Beiko has firmly opposed calls for a rollback of the blockchain following the $1.5 billion Bybit hack, citing significant technical and systemic risks. Unlike the 2016 TheDAO hack, the Bybit exploit occurred instantly, leaving no room for intervention, and a rollback would disrupt countless legitimate transactions, undermining the network’s trust and immutability. Despite some industry leaders advocating for a rollback, the consensus among developers is that such an action would create chaos and harm innocent users.
