The Ethereum network is preparing for the Pectra upgrade, scheduled for March 2025. This upgrade aims to enhance the wallet experience, bolster security, and increase the maximum staking limit. Notably, EIP-7702 will introduce "account abstraction" to improve wallet functionalities, while EIP-2537 focuses on enhancing zero-knowledge cryptography for better privacy and scalability. Additionally, EIP-7002 and EIP-7251 will allow flexible staking withdrawals and raise the maximum staking balance from 32 ETH to 2,048 ETH, aiming to improve network health.

In March 2024, Ethereum successfully implemented the Dencun upgrade, which significantly reduced transaction costs on Layer 2 networks. This reduction has made the network more cost-effective and efficient, potentially attracting more users and developers to the ecosystem.

Bloomberg

Analysts have varied predictions for ETH's price following these upgrades. Some forecasts suggest that ETH could reach between $7,000 and $10,000 in 2024, depending on factors like ETF approvals and market adoption. However, these predictions are speculative and should be approached with caution.
