#以太坊大户持仓变化 $ETH
Can Ethereum reach $8,000 before the 2026 Spring Festival? It sounds unbelievable, but based on on-chain data and market fundamentals, this probability is actually within reach.
Let's first look at the supply side. The Pectra upgrade has boosted ecosystem activity, and the Layer 2 track is extremely hot, which in turn reduces the ETH supply on the mainnet. Ethereum has now entered a deflationary cycle—demand is rising, and circulating supply is decreasing. Once institutions realize that ETH on the market is becoming increasingly scarce, liquidity squeeze is not far off, which directly acts as a price catalyst.
Next, consider the capital flow trends. 2026 is a key year for traditional institutions to make large-scale crypto investments. The story of Bitcoin as digital gold has already been told, and now it's Ethereum, the "global settlement layer," that is being re-priced. Spot ETFs continue to attract capital, coupled with AI agents running large-scale automatic settlements on Ethereum, both fundamentals and capital flow are working together, providing the confidence to double.
The historical context is worth noting. 2026 is exactly the second year after the last Bitcoin halving, a period of explosive growth. The window before the Spring Festival already carries the sentiment of a "red envelope market," plus resonance with the cycle's peak, so doubling from the current $4,000 to $8,000 for Ethereum, which has been silent for two years, is just missing a trigger moment.
⚠️ Of course, expectations are one thing, and short-term volatility never plays fair. Managing risks well is the true posture for long-term success.
