Vitalik Buterin proposes fix amid Ethereum \'moneyness\' debate

Vitalik Buterin laid out short-term upgrade plans aimed at embedding privacy into Ethereum\'s base layer, as a debate resurfaced over why ETH remains around $2,000 despite the Merge, staking, Layer 2 expansion and spot ETF approval. The discussion focused on whether Ethereum lacks sufficient “moneyness,” with one user arguing base-layer privacy could sharply lift ETH utility. Buterin cited account abstraction, FOCIL, Kohaku and private reads among ongoing work.
