Ethereum is trading above $4,700, just 4% shy of its all-time high, as Bybit releases a report outlining its evolution and roadmap to 2035. The analysis predicts massive scaling, institutional adoption, and ETH’s rise as a benchmark yield asset. Ethereum’s Next Decade of Scaling and Institutional Adoption Projected by New Bybit Report Ethereum is closing in on record territory as institutional demand continues to accelerate. The rally coincides with the release of Bybit’s latest Crypto Insights Report, Ethereum at 10: A Decade of Disruption and the Road Ahead, which examines the network’s evolution and its vision through 2035. The report highlights Ethereum’s transformation from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) and its growing role as the backbone for DeFi, NFTs, and tokenized real-world assets. Currently securing hundreds of billions in value and processing millions of daily transactions, ethereum is set for major upgrades aimed at boosting scalability, efficiency, and security. Key developments include: scaling for millions of TPS through sharding and layer two (L2) rollups; a lean ethereum strategy emphasizing modular design and quantum resistance; ETH as a yield asset, setting benchmark rates in DeFi through staking rewards; and institutional adoption from players like Blackrock, Visa, and Deutsche Bank for tokenization and enterprise infrastructure. By 2035, Bybit projects that ethereum could serve as a highly scaled and secure settlement layer handling trillions in annual on-chain activity, with a stable or even deflationary ETH supply. With price momentum strong and institutional inflows rising, market watchers are eyeing a potential new all-time high as soon as this week.
