Details on Ethereum Upgrades: The Future in 2025

In the world of cryptocurrencies, Ethereum remains the most innovative and widely used blockchain in Latin America. What are Ethereum upgrades and why do they matter so much to investors in Argentina, Colombia, and Brazil? Upgrades are technical updates that improve network scalability, security, and efficiency, allowing for thousands of transactions per second at a low cost. This article explores the current roadmap, details key upgrades like Fusaka and Pectra, and their regional impact. In a context of inflation that erodes savings, Ethereum represents not only an investment opportunity but also a tool for inclusive finance, such as DeFi and remittances. Platforms like WEEX facilitate access: with 0.02% spot fees, instant deposits in MXN, ARS, and COP, and staking with compound interest, WEEX is ideal for trading ETH during upgrades. If you are a beginner, get more information in the article "What is the best crypto exchange for beginners in 2025?" on the WEEX wiki. Additionally, compound interest on ETH can multiply returns, according to "Compound interest in the crypto environment?" on the same Wiki.

Ethereum has evolved since its launch in 2015, moving from a congested network to a multi-layer ecosystem with Layer 2 solutions like Optimism and Arbitrum. In Latin America, where 30% of crypto transactions use ETH for yield farming, according to Chainalysis, upgrades are key to making it competitive with Solana in terms of speed and costs.

Ethereum Roadmap: General Evolution

The Ethereum roadmap is a dynamic plan focused on scalability, security, and usability. Since The Merge (2022), which migrated to a Proof-of-Stake mechanism reducing energy consumption by 99.95%, to recent upgrades, the goal is 100,000 TPS without sacrificing decentralization. ethereum.org details phases such as The Surge (scalability), The Scourge (security), and The Splurge (clean usability).

In 2025, the focus is on Fusaka and future upgrades like Glamsterdam, which improve blobs for L2 data. CoinDesk reports that these upgrades raised the total value locked (TVL) in DeFi to $150 billion, benefiting users in Mexico and Brazil with accessible loans. In Colombia, where remittances represent 4% of GDP, ETH after its upgrades reduces fees from $10 to $0.01, boosting adoption.

Pectra Upgrade: The Foundation of 2025

Pectra, which was activated in May 2025, combines Prague (execution layer) and Electra (consensus layer) with 11 EIPs to improve UX and staking. Consensys.io explains that EIP-7702 enables native smart accounts, simplifying wallets for newcomers, while EIP-7251 optimizes staking for institutions.

Benefits:

• Scalability: Doubles L2 efficiency, reducing congestion by 50%.
• Accessible Staking: Lowers barriers for small pools, attracting Latin Americans with $100.
• Improved UX: Support for Apple/Android passkeys, ideal for mobile devices in Peru.

In Argentina, Pectra has already boosted DeFi yields to 10%, according to CoinDesk. WEEX plans to offer ETH staking post-Pectra in its new Earn tool.

Fusaka Upgrade: The Great Leap of December 2025

Fusaka, which was activated on December 3, 2025, is the second most important upgrade of the year, merging Fulu and Osaka with 12 EIPs for L2 scalability purposes. The Ethereum Foundation Blog announced its activation at epoch 411392 (21:49 UTC), introducing PeerDAS (EIP-7694) for P2P data sampling, and reducing node load by 80%.

Key details:

• Forks for blob parameters only (BPO): Adjusts blobs from 6 to 14-21 per block, scaling L2 without major hard forks.
• Gas limit at 60M: Doubles capacity to 16.7M TPS, lowering fees by 70%.
• EIP-7918 and EIP-7951: Optimizes gas and passkey authentication for usability purposes.

DL News details that Fusaka makes 100,000 TPS possible, fundamental for implementations like Arbitrum. In Brazil, it reduces DeFi costs by 60%, according to TradingView. In Venezuela, it enables micropayments for remittances.

After Fusaka, Nethermind implements EIPs like EIP-7892 for flexible forks, ensuring stability. WEEX supports ETH during its upgrades, with uninterrupted trading.

Impact of upgrades in Latin America: opportunities and challenges

Ethereum upgrades are transforming Latam: Pectra facilitates inclusive staking, with 500,000 new stakers in Mexico (Consensys.io). Fusaka scales L2s for remittances, reducing times from 10 minutes to seconds in Colombia.

Opportunities:

• Accessible DeFi: Yields of 8 to 15% in pools, beating inflation.
• Local NFTs: Peruvian artists sell on OpenSea with low fees.
• Remittances: $0.01 per transfer versus $7 per bank transfer.

Challenges: Temporary congestion during activations; WEEX mitigates this with alerts and stable staking.

CryptoNinjas predicts that Fusaka will push ETH to $6,000 by the end of 2025.

How WEEX helps you take advantage of Ethereum upgrades
