#Ripple筹划设立10亿美元XRP资金池 Looking at this cycle of $BTC, $ETH, and $XRP, Ethereum's technical variables are quite numerous. Zero-knowledge proofs (ZK) are particularly interesting — it’s expected that by the end of the year, 10% of validators will switch to ZK mode. Once lightweight validation is widely adopted, L1 scaling could break through the current ceiling, making 10,000 TPS a real possibility.
The ecosystem is even more impressive. The stablecoin market cap may expand to around $500 billion, and RWA tokenization could reach $300 billion. Especially those sovereign funds, whose holdings might increase tenfold — a clear signal that institutional capital is entering in real money.
To put it simply, Ethereum is no longer just a digital currency. It has now become the settlement infrastructure for global open finance and the operating system for the computing layer. With technological upgrades and institutional funding, a dual-engine is driving this toward deeper decentralization. 2026 is a critical inflection point; it feels like it will rewrite many things. What are everyone’s thoughts?

10% Validators Switch to ZK? How long will it really take to land, feels like just another tech roadmap pie in the sky
---
RWA 300 billion I believe, but stablecoins 500 billion? How much is there now, maybe a bit exaggerated
---
Sovereign fund multiplies by 10, if that really happens, BTC should have broken 100K long ago haha
---
Honestly, nobody cares about Ripple’s 1 billion XRP fund pool, it’s less impressive than this tech narrative
---
Turning point in 2026? I think we’ll see by 2025, let’s wait and see
---
If ZK verification can truly reach 10,000 TPS, Ethereum will really become an "operating system," this time not just talk
---
Institutional gold and silver entry signals are obvious? Why do I see inflow on exchanges actually decreasing...

10% validators switch to ZK? Just listen to it, I would burn incense if it reaches 5% before the end of the year. These project teams always estimate their numbers based on guesswork.

Institutions are really here, and this time it's different

Damn, claiming 10,000 TPS is really bold; it depends on whether ZK truly gets rolled out.
RWA is the key part; a stablecoin scale of 500 billion isn't just a dream, right?
Sovereign funds multiplying by 10 times? What kind of signal does that send?
I'm only half convinced by the 2026 inflection point theory.
Ripple's $1 billion funding pool is just so-so; the real key is whether the ecosystem's genuine users will keep up.

Institutional entry is real, but hearing about 10x turnaround so often... Let's wait until 2026 to see the outcome.

10% validators switch to ZK? Feels still too conservative. Breaking the deadlock truly depends on an ecosystem explosion.

Institutions are really pouring in money; it feels like this cycle is different.
