Ethereum’s 2025 has been marked by identity confusion, with upgrades like Dencun and Fusaka failing to solidify its role in liquidity and crypto markets. The Dencun upgrade did not revive Ethereum’s narrative, while the December Fusaka upgrade introduced EIP-7918 and PeerDAS to shift toward a 'B2B security tax' model. Regulatory clarity from the U.S. SEC and CFTC reclassified ETH as a digital commodity, easing institutional entry. Analysts are now testing new valuation models, including DCF and 'Trustware' pricing, to assess Ethereum’s evolving role amid Countering the Financing of Terrorism concerns.
