Ethereum (ETH)

That’s a wrap on the 9th edition of @EthCC, which was once again a real pleasure to attend! What should we take away from this year? There were some great announcements (the launch of @aave V4, the @MidasRWA funding round, and more), but above all, one keyword stood out: institutionalisation. Of course, you still run into builders from the Ethereum ecosystem, but the ratio of white collars keeps increasing. Ethereum truly is "the home of onchain finance". Many of the side conversations also revolved around new competitors like @tempo (backed by @Stripe) or @CantonNetwork (backed by many big names in traditional finance), as well as topics related to how resistant blockchains will be to future quantum computers. 👉 A few figures to remember from this edition: - 4,700 participants (-20% compared with 2025) - A €3M budget - An estimated loss of around €300K - 180 side events across Cannes, including @TheBigWhale_, which brought together some great names like @SPGlobal, @apolloglobal, @nativemarkets, @df

ETHCC 2026 recap: DeFi on an employment crisis great weather, great events, great vibes, but the landscape is shrinking and money is drying out going straight from NYC DAS to ETHCC, it is clear to me that DeFi is living an identity crisis on multiple fronts gone are the protocols run events where all their users go to feast at the expense of the treasury - in are the multi-hosted gatherings where most builders go all together but where you also meet the same people villas hosted by the few protocols that fundraised in 2025 and are still growing or soon to launch were the highlight of this year. the meta was less beach-front venues, more curated and researched places you look around for your friends that came last year, and notice always the same faces from the last ethcc - while some of the usual faces are gone and not seen any longer. events are curated but you can see they net is cast much larger because you can’t fill a space being hyper selective. places this year are smaller and the hyped events

$ETH First weekly close above the June 2025 low. Price is currently in a supply zone; to show strength, bulls need to flip this resistance into support and push toward a retest of $2,800. Any potential retest of $2,111 (if it occurs) must hold; otherwise, it risks turning the current structure into a bearish deviation. #Ethereum
