How Will the Ethereum Dencun Upgrade Affect Me?
Around 25% of ETH’s total supply has been staked at the time of writing. Anyone holding Ether should be wary of potential price and supply changes that may arise from Ethereum unlocking staked-ETH withdrawals.
Network validators might be looking to withdraw and sell their staked ETH, demand for ETH could increase with users being able to stake directly on Ethereum, or the status quo could remain relatively unchanged. The Ethereum Dencun Upgrade’s exact effects on the market remain to be seen. As always, users should do their own research and make decisions appropriate for their current financial situation.Learn More
