Should You Bet on the Recent Rally in Bitcoin & Ethereum ETFs?

Bitcoin & Ethereum ETFs are rallying, but regulatory delays, volatility and macro risks raise a key question -- can the rally last?

According to Buterin, the proposed upgrades will result in faster finality, higher throughput, and quantum-resistant security.“...Expect to see these changes to be intertwined with a "ship of Theseus" style component-by-component replacement of Ethereum's slot structure and consensus with a cleaner, simpler, quantum-resistant, prover-friendly, end-to-end formally-verified alternative,” he&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/VitalikButerin">wrote</a> in the X post.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/coins/ethereum">Ethereum’s price</a> rose nearly 8% to around $2,000 in the last 24 hours, leading gains among crypto majors and outperforming Bitcoin (BTC).

Things may get less secure, but the overall network will keep running.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">The 5 North Stars For Ethereum</h2>The document’s inception was at an Ethereum Foundation workshop in January 2026, according to Drake. He said the name combines “strawmap” and “roadmap,” acknowledging that drafting a proposal to satisfy stakeholders in a decentralized ecosystem is “effectively impossible.”&nbsp;The strawmap is centered around five “north stars” as its technical objectives, according to Drake. The first of which is a "fast L1," which targets short slots and finality in seconds. The second is "gigagas L1," which aims to reach a transaction speed of 1 gigagas per second via zkEVMs and real-time proving.&nbsp;The third target is "teragas L2," looking to hit 1 gigabyte per second of data bandwidth, or 10 million transactions per second. The last two focus on improving privacy and building protection against quantum threats.&nbsp;He said the document would be maintained by the Ethereum Foundation Architecture team and receive quarterly updates, with the latest revision date noted on the document.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/bitcoin-etf-inflows-top-500-m-for-first-time-this-year-after-record-outflows/cZTGEntRIbj">Bitcoin ETF Inflows Top $500M For First Time This Year, On Track To Break Record Outflow Streak</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com
