In an exclusive interview with Cointelegraph, Ethereum veteran and investor Ryan Berckmans unveiled a pivotal shift within the Ethereum ecosystem.

For years, Ethereum's strategy has revolved around a Rollup-centric roadmap, focusing on Layer-2 scaling while largely neglecting the base layer (Layer-1). Insiders are now discussing a "liquidation moment" that has led to a strategy of rebalancing growth between Layer-1 and Layer-2.

Ryan stated, "Until earlier this year, the price trends became exceptionally bad… Those very wealthy and influential members of the Ethereum core community—including Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin—looked at this moment and said, 'Oh my God, we never thought it would get this bad.'"

This reality check has triggered a strategic reset, which has already shown signs of renewed cohesion, narrative strength, and clear leadership from key figures in Ethereum.

Looking ahead, Ryan sees enormous opportunities on the horizon. As Ethereum increasingly becomes the foundation of the future global on-chain economy, he believes the value of ETH could skyrocket.

He remarked, "In the coming years, the on-chain economy will be 1,000 times larger than it is now… This will truly drive the price of Ethereum to $20,000, $50,000, or even $80,000."
