According to @MilkRoadDaily, ETH is still on track for 6,000 dollars before year-end and a global payments company has launched a new Ethereum Layer 2 that could compete with Base and Blast, pointing traders to potential rotation into ETH and L2 ecosystems if adoption expands.

For trading confirmation, monitor ETH spot–perp basis, options skew, and L2 user and TVL growth; rising L2 activity can lift Ethereum transaction demand and ETH burn via EIP-1559, creating a structural supply tailwind during high on-chain usage.

Competitive impact versus Base and Blast will hinge on user acquisition, developer incentives, and fiat on-ramps from the payments network, which historically translate into higher on-chain volumes and fees that accrue to ETH through gas consumption.
