Market participants expect a similar impact on ETH prices if spot ETH ETFs get the green light.<\/p>\n<p>In parallel, staking participation on the Ethereum 2.0 Beacon Chain continues to steadily rise. 25% of the total circulating supply of ETH is now locked up in staking deposits, reducing sell-side pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Over 943,000 validators are actively participating in the consensus process on Ethereum as it transitions to an energy-efficient proof-of-stake blockchain.<\/p>\n<p>Validators earn ~4% annual yield as rewards for their capital locked up as collateral, creating a passive income stream that has boosted participation.<\/p>\n<p>As staking levels increase, so does the security of the chain making 51% attacks virtually impossible due to the cost associated with obtaining such a large chunk of ETH supply.<\/p>\n<p>ETH\u2019s pivot to proof-of-stake is also environmentally sustainable, in line with institutional investors and funds growing focus on ESG mandates. This makes it likely the SEC greenlights spot Ether ETFs.<\/p>\n<p>With consoldiation around the $2,800 levels, analysts say ETH looks poised to challenge its historic peak around $5,000 later in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Key target levels on the way up are $3,500 which was the April 2022 top, and $4,200 which marked the pre-crypto winter peak in November 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Continued spikes in staking deposits locking up ETH supply, approval of spot ETH ETFs allowing new institutional capital inflows, as well as broader crypto bull run returning could be the perfect storm that sees Ether trade firmly into 5 digits for the first time ever.<\/p>\n<div class=\"a-wrap a-wrap-base a-wrap-6 a-wrap-bg\"> \n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/blockonomi.com\/700-gains-coming-why-some-see-ethereum-eth-price-hitting-20000-eventually\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ether price crossed $2,800 on February 15th for the first time since early 2022, nearing its historic peak above $4,900 reached in late 2021.
