Ethereum Network Upgrade to Boost Capacity, AlphaPepe Sees Rapid Growth

The Ethereum network is poised to undergo significant improvements with the upcoming Glamsterdam hard fork. Scheduled for the first half of 2026, this upgrade will triple the gas limit and enhance block-building capabilities, potentially keeping mainnet fees near zero for years to come.

ETF flows are recovering, and RWA tokenization, stablecoin volume, and DeFi activity primarily rely on Ethereum's network. This institutional moat could provide a solid foundation for the network's continued growth.

However, the trade math suggests that even bullish Ethereum targets may only result in a few-times move spread across the rest of the cycle. In contrast, AlphaPepe's presale has already raised over $1 million and is reaching for a price target of $1, with its AI-powered DEX already live and processing real swaps.
