Ethereum's Pectra Upgrade Enhances Network Efficiency

In early 2025, Ethereum implemented the Pectra upgrade, its most significant overhaul since the 2022 Merge. This update introduced 11 Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs), aiming to improve transaction speed and cost efficiency. Notably, it increased the staking cap from 32 to 2,048 ETH per validator, streamlining processes for large stakeholders. (MarketWatch)

Despite these advancements, Ether's price experienced a modest 2.7% increase post-upgrade, trading at $1,822, still well below its 2021 peak of $4,105.90. Analysts suggest that while Pectra enhances network functionality, it may not immediately impact Ether's market value.(MarketWatch)
