"Fusaka is coming. As one of Ethereum’s most important upgrades to date, Fusaka will make a bunch of changes under the hood that aim to tackle the network’s scalability bottlenecks.
Every time Ethereum ships a major upgrade, ETH’s price action tends to go wild. And with Q4 of the fourth year in crypto’s four-year cycle historically being the market’s most explosive phase, the timing couldn’t be more interesting.
That’s why today, we’re diving deep into the Fusaka upgrade, telling you what’s changing under the hood, how it shapes Ethereum’s long-term future, and what it could mean for ETH’s price."

The video discusses the upcoming Ethereum "Fusaka" upgrade, a major hard fork scheduled for December 3rd, which combines the consensus layer upgrade "Fulu" and the execution layer upgrade "Osaka." Fusaka is an implementation of 12 Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) focused primarily on increasing network scalability at the layer 1 level. The most significant of these is EIP-7594, known as Pure Data Availability Sampling (Pure DOSS), which allows Ethereum nodes to store only a fraction of data to verify transactions. This is intended to boost data capacity for layer 2 roll-ups, cut transaction costs, and address Ethereum's data availability bottleneck, thereby moving the network closer to solving the "blockchain trilemma" by enhancing scalability without sacrificing decentralization or security.
While Fusaka's improvements are mostly technical and "under the hood," lacking the immediate user experience changes of previous upgrades, the video argues that it is long-term bullish for ETH's price as it refines the network's infrastructure for institutional adoption. Historically, ETH's price tends to rally in the lead-up to major upgrades, though the event itself often becomes a "sell the news" moment. Despite potential short-term volatility, the speaker is overall bullish on ETH, citing Fusaka as a potential catalyst for a rally, alongside other factors like the pending staked spot Ethereum ETFs and the network's increasing focus on positioning itself as "the institutional liquidity layer."
