Ethereum Overhauls Codebase Ahead of Glamsterdam Hard Fork—Traders Brace for Volatility

Ethereum’s core devs just dropped a bombshell: a full-scale refactor paving the way for the Glamsterdam upgrade. This isn’t your average maintenance patch—it’s a structural shake-up that’ll have DeFi degens and institutional bag-holders alike refreshing Etherscan.

The big question? Whether these backend changes will finally justify those gas fees that make credit card processing look like a charity. One thing’s certain: the merge was just the warm-up act.

With testnets already showing improved throughput (but let’s be real—still not enough to prevent another Bored Ape mint apocalypse), Ethereum’s playing catch-up with chains that didn’t need a $40 billion market cap to implement basic scalability. The fork drops Q3—place your bets on whether this triggers a 20% pump or a ’sell the news’ bloodbath.
