Fidelity releases its 2025 Ethereum outlook... Expects layer 2 development
Fidelity, a global asset management company, analyzed the outlook for Ethereum in 2025, focusing on its rollup-focused roadmap evaluation and its relationship with layer 2. According to CoinPost, a blockchain media outlet, on the 9th, Fidelity said that although the short-term decline in profits due to the sharp drop in layer 1 fees after the Denton upgrade is inevitable, the long-term network effect will bring positive effects. Fidelity described the relationship between layer 2 and Ethereum as symbiotic. Ethereum can maintain its core value of decentralization while realizing low-cost transaction execution and token decentralization, while Layer 2 can leverage the security and liquidity of Ethereum.
In addition, more progress is expected to be made in Layer 2 this year. In particular, the increase in applications specialized for specific purposes, such as Ethereum Name Service (ENS), is expected, and developers are focusing on maintaining the low fees necessary for the growth of Layer 2. Meanwhile, in terms of accessibility to ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds), Ethereum has a clear advantage over Solana. However, this advantage may change depending on the judgment of the regulators, which is expected to be one of the key points to watch in 2025, according to the media.
