I wouldn’t be surprised if $ETH hits $2500 -> $3000 in the coming weeks, here’s why; 

🔹 1) BlackRock's Ethereum ETF:

- BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, has filed to list an Ethereum ETF that would track ether directly.

🔹2) EIP 4844 Upgrade (Proto-Danksharding):

- Part of the Ethereum Cancun upgrade, EIP 4844 introduces Proto-Danksharding to reduce gas fees & increase transaction throughput.
