Leading analyst at Grayscale Investments William Ogden Moore said that the rise in the Ethereum price occurred amid expectations of Dencun being updated in March 2024.
The asset’s position was also strengthened by the growing interest in liquid staking, the overall increase in network profitability and the potential approval of the Ethereum-ETF in May, Moore noted.
“The Dencun update to Ethereum, scheduled for March 13, 2024, represents an important step for the development of the ecosystem. We believe that the positive change in the asset price reflects market expectations,” he said.
According to the expert, Dencun can increase throughput and reduce network transaction costs. According to the report, this will make Ethereum more competitive in the market and potentially allow the ecosystem to become relevant in the real world tokenized asset (RWA) market.
