Ethereum Eyes $3,500 as Glamsterdam Upgrade Targets Q2/Q3 2026

According to CoinDCX, Ethereum trades near $1,970 as of early June 2026, down over 60 percent from its August 2025 all-time high of $4,951. The upcoming Glamsterdam upgrade, expected in Q2 or Q3 of 2026, will introduce Verkle trees to enable stateless clients and push Layer 2 throughput beyond 100,000 transactions per second, according to Consensys and protocol analysis.

Analysts project a 2026 trading range between $1,800 and $3,500, with InvestingHaven forecasting an average near $2,700. The upgrade follows Ethereum's biannual hard fork cadence established by Pectra in May 2025 and Fusaka in December 2025.
