Ethereum's biggest upgrade since the Merge, called Glamsterdam, has entered its final testing phase and is targeted for release in the second half of 2026. This upgrade will improve Ethereum's protocol by enabling parallel transaction processing and gradually increasing the gas limit from 60 million to 200 million, aiming to boost transaction throughput and scalability. The timing is crucial as Ethereum's DeFi ecosystem faces liquidity challenges, with significant drops in total value locked and stablecoin supply on the network. While the upgrade could enhance Ethereum's capacity to handle more DeFi activity and support price momentum, ongoing liquidity pressures and institutional movements suggest that sustained growth will depend on broader market recovery and stablecoin flows.
