Wall Street Dumps $4.3B Into Ethereum While Developers Drop Game-Changing Gas Limits

  • EIP-7983 proposal caps individual transactions at 16.77 million gas units to prevent network attacks and improve stability.
  • Technical indicators show bullish MACD crossover at $2,560 price level, suggesting potential breakout if volume increases.

Ethereum’s development team has unveiled EIP-7983, targeting a persistent network vulnerability. The proposal establishes a hard ceiling of 16.77 million gas units for individual transactions, regardless of block size limits.

Current network architecture allows single transactions to consume nearly entire blocks. This creates bottlenecks that slow processing speeds and opens pathways for coordinated attacks on network stability.

The implementation would automatically reject blocks containing transactions above the gas threshold. Network nodes would treat these blocks as invalid, preventing their addition to the permanent ledger.

If ETH closes above $2,650, next targets are set at $2,800 and $2,960. Inversely, failure to hold above $2,560–$2,540 could result in a retracement toward $2,440, which aligns with the prior volume cluster and 50-day EMA.

Ethereum ETF inflows are now on an 8-week positive streak, indicating sustained institutional buying behavior and a long-term repositioning toward ETH exposure through regulated instruments.
