Buterin claims the trilemma is "solved" in practice. One challenge remains: ensuring security.
At the end of 2025, Ethereum didn't just finish the year well. It accelerated, then it broke the crypto counter. On December 29, 2025, the network validated 2.23 million transactions in a single day. A historic peak, supported by numbers.
Bitcoin has just crossed $91,000, driven by a wave of political instability in Venezuela.
