Enhanced expectations of Federal Reserve easing (potential positive): Market expectations for the Fed's interest rate cuts have risen, and it is expected that there may be 2-3 interest rate cuts in 2025. This loose liquidity environment typically creates favorable conditions for risk assets such as cryptocurrencies. 2. Continued US government shutdown (uncertainty): The shutdown status may result in delayed release of multiple economic reports, including September inflation data. This exacerbates market uncertainty, causing investors to tend to stay on the sidelines. 3. The Chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has stated that cryptocurrency and tokenization are "top priorities" and mentioned considering establishing an "innovation exemption" mechanism. This sends a signal of seeking compliant development rather than blindly suppressing, which is crucial for the long-term healthy development of the market. The progress of Ethereum spot ETFs: This is currently the biggest potential positive. Although the US SEC has approved the 19b-4 filing, the S-1 registration statement (i.e. ETF can officially begin trading) has not yet taken effect. The market is closely monitoring any news regarding the approval of S-1. Once officially approved, it will attract a large influx of traditional capital, which is highly likely to drive a significant increase in ETH prices. 2. Technical support: From the technical chart, ETH has received multiple tests and holds at an important support level in the early stages (such as the $2800- $3000 range). If this support is effective, it may attract technical buying. DeFi and Layer2 Ecological Recovery: With market sentiment warming up, the amount of DeFi lock-in on the Ethereum chain and trading activity on Layer2 (such as Arbitrarum, Optimism) have increased, consolidating ETH's value foundation as a "digital oil". In the current situation where the news is mixed with long and short positions, the bears have already consumed up almost in the past two days.

[Vitalik Buterin Responds to Issues of Cryptographic Performance Optimization and Hardware Independence] Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently addressed community concerns regarding cryptographic performance optimization and hardware independence, stating that performance metrics should be expressed in ratio form rather than simply as operations per second. In response to community doubts about how to narrow the performance gap between traditional computing and fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) without relying on expensive specialized hardware, Vitalik suggested using publicly available hardware. He further explained that after encryption, the geometric mean of the capital expenditure dollars per operation per second and joules per operation could serve as a reasonable first-pass metric for performance evaluation.
