<h2>The Ethereum market will soon face a large influx of funds.</h2>The recently introduced update called Shapell on the popular Ethereum (ETH) platform is to make the funds previously deposited under staking, worth almost $ 2 billion, free for investors. According to the data recently presented by the IntoTheBlock analytical platform, there are currently as many as 868,631 ETH in the queue for withdrawal, which at the time of writing this article has a value of over $1.8 billion.<h3>Nearly $2 billion in Ethereum is waiting to be paid out to investors</h3>The report of the company quoted above also indicates that within 24 hours after the last update of the Ethereum network, an additional 104,000 ETH was paid into staking. Moreover, IntoTheBlock also presents information on the institutions that are globally most involved in the Ethereum staking process. It is worth adding here that popular cryptocurrency exchange platforms are among them.“Lido is a major institution that is widely known for being heavily involved in staking, with a group of independent users in second place. Next on this list are such digital currency exchange platforms as Coinbase, Kraken and Binance. It is worth being aware that as much as 63.3% of ETH pending withdrawal belongs to Kraken - comments IntoTheBlock.The data presented by IntoTheBlock also compares the amount of ETH deposited with other leading smart contract platforms such as BNB Chain (BNB), Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX) and Polygon (MATIC). According to cryptocurrency sector analysts, Solana is currently the leader in this area, and Ethereum is in last place.– Currently, 14.4% of the total amount of ETH is staking in the escrow contract. The cryptocurrency community centered around the Ethereum network is currently asking itself the question of whether the latest Shanghai update will increase the trust of investors around the world and cause a jump up of the ETH deposited volume? – indicated further.The long-awaited update called Shapell, which for the first time ever allows Ethereum users to withdraw their staking tokens, is essentially a combination of two different updates that were rolled out simultaneously. It's about the Shanghai and Capella updates. Shanghai made significant changes to the protocol execution layer, while Capella made a large package of modifications to the consensus layer.

<h2>Рынок Ethereum вскоре столкнется с большим притоком средств.</h2>Недавно представленное обновление под названием Shapell на популярной платформе Ethereum (ETH) должно сделать свободными для инвесторов средства, ранее внесенные под ставку, на сумму почти 2 миллиарда долларов. Согласно данным, недавно представленным аналитической платформой IntoTheBlock, в очереди на вывод в настоящее время находится 868 631 ETH, стоимость которых на момент написания этой статьи составляет более 1,8 млрд долларов.<h3>Почти 2 миллиарда долларов в Ethereum ожидают выплаты инвесторам</h3>В цитируемом выше отчете компании также указано, что в течение 24 часов после последнего обновления сети Ethereum в стакинг было внесено еще 104 000 ETH. Более того, IntoTheBlock также представляет информацию об институтах, которые в глобальном масштабе наиболее вовлечены в процесс стакинга Ethereum. Здесь стоит добавить, что среди них есть и популярные платформы обмена криптовалют."Lido" - это крупная организация, которая широко известна тем, что активно участвует в стакинге, на втором месте - группа независимых пользователей. Далее в этом списке идут такие платформы обмена цифровых валют, как Coinbase, Kraken и Binance. Стоит знать, что целых 63,3% ожидающих вывода ETH принадлежит Kraken - комментирует IntoTheBlock.Данные, представленные IntoTheBlock, также сравнивают количество депонированных ETH с другими ведущими платформами смарт-контрактов, такими как BNB Chain (BNB), Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX) и Polygon (MATIC). По мнению аналитиков криптовалютного сектора, Solana в настоящее время является лидером в этой области, а Ethereum находится на последнем месте.- В настоящее время 14,4% от общего количества ETH находится в ставке в контракте эскроу. Криптовалютное сообщество, сосредоточенное вокруг сети Ethereum, в настоящее время задается вопросом: повысит ли последнее обновление Shanghai доверие инвесторов по всему миру и вызовет ли скачкообразный рост объема депонированных ETH? - указано далее.Долгожданное обновление под названием Shapell, которое впервые в истории позволяет пользователям Ethereum выводить свои стаб-токены, по сути, является комбинацией двух разных обновлений, которые были выпущены одновременно. Речь идет об обновлениях Shanghai и Capella. Shanghai внес значительные изменения в уровень исполнения протокола, а Capella - большой пакет изменений в уровень консенсуса.

Почти $2 млрд в Ethereum ожидают выплаты после обновления Shapell

<h2>Der Ethereum-Markt wird bald einen großen Zustrom von Geldern erleben.</h2>Das kürzlich eingeführte Update namens Shapell auf der beliebten Ethereum (ETH)-Plattform soll die zuvor im Rahmen des Staking eingezahlten Gelder im Wert von fast 2 Milliarden Dollar für die Anleger frei machen. Nach den kürzlich von der Analyseplattform IntoTheBlock vorgelegten Daten befinden sich derzeit 868.631 ETH in der Warteschlange für eine Auszahlung, die zum Zeitpunkt der Abfassung dieses Artikels einen Wert von über 1,8 Milliarden Dollar hat.<h3>Fast 2 Milliarden Dollar in Ethereum warten darauf, an Investoren ausgezahlt zu werden</h3>Aus dem oben zitierten Bericht des Unternehmens geht auch hervor, dass innerhalb von 24 Stunden nach dem letzten Update des Ethereum-Netzwerks weitere 104.000 ETH in die Einsätze eingezahlt wurden. Darüber hinaus präsentiert IntoTheBlock auch Informationen über die Institutionen, die weltweit am meisten in den Ethereum-Staking-Prozess involviert sind. Es lohnt sich, hier hinzuzufügen, dass beliebte Kryptowährungsaustauschplattformen unter ihnen sind."Lido ist eine große Institution, die dafür bekannt ist, dass sie stark in den Staking-Prozess involviert ist, an zweiter Stelle steht eine Gruppe unabhängiger Nutzer. An zweiter Stelle stehen die Plattformen für den Austausch digitaler Währungen wie Coinbase, Kraken und Binance. Es ist erwähnenswert, dass sogar 63,3% der ETH, die zur Abhebung anstehen, zu Kraken gehören - kommentiert IntoTheBlock.Die von IntoTheBlock präsentierten Daten vergleichen auch die Menge der hinterlegten ETH mit anderen führenden Smart-Contract-Plattformen wie BNB Chain (BNB), Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX) und Polygon (MATIC). Laut den Analysten des Kryptowährungssektors ist Solana derzeit führend in diesem Bereich, während Ethereum an letzter Stelle liegt.- Derzeit sind 14,4 % der Gesamtmenge an ETH im Treuhandvertrag eingesetzt. Die Kryptowährungsgemeinschaft rund um das Ethereum-Netzwerk stellt sich derzeit die Frage, ob das jüngste Shanghai-Update das Vertrauen der Investoren auf der ganzen Welt erhöhen und einen sprunghaften Anstieg des ETH-Einzahlungsvolumens bewirken wird? - weiter angegeben.Das lang erwartete Update namens Shapell, das es Ethereum-Nutzern erstmals ermöglicht, ihre Staking-Token abzuheben, ist im Wesentlichen eine Kombination aus zwei verschiedenen Updates, die gleichzeitig ausgerollt wurden. Es handelt sich um die Updates Shanghai und Capella. Shanghai nahm erhebliche Änderungen an der Protokollausführungsschicht vor, während Capella ein großes Paket von Änderungen an der Konsensschicht vornahm.

<h2>Considerable interest in non-fungible token technology has led to significant changes in the cryptocurrency sector.</h2>The broadly understood NFT market has been sending us subtle signals for some time that it is periodically trying to recover from the impact of the strong bear market that inevitably reached this sector. It is not difficult to quickly come to the conclusion that the prices of top tokens from key collections are still significantly away from the levels of the glory days, which ended around the first quarter of 2022. Despite this pessimistic fact, a certain change in the balance of power in this innovative sphere can be noticed. It is worth adding that so far, the Ethereum blockchain has been the network where non-fungible tokens were traded most frequently. In the end, however, Ethereum had to hand over the leadership position to its long-time competitor, Bitcoin.<h3>NFT trade is booming, but on a different blockchain</h3>Built, among others, by the popular programmer Vitalik Buterin, the Ethereum blockchain has for a long time been associated primarily with the fact that it is the cyberspace where by far the most non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are minted and where the highest trade rate in terms of turnover volume takes place.Recently, however, a revolutionary change took place, which led to BTC taking first place in terms of volume in the last 7 days.<h4>Latest data from the NFT market</h4>The latest data from the platform analyzing turnover volumes in the NFT sector shows that during the week Ethereum decreased by 3.72%, while tokens minted using the Ordinals protocol in the BTC network contributed to an increase by as much as 22.47 %, which led to this network ranking in first place.Finally, it is worth adding that the weekly volume here reached USD 101.3 million. In the case of the Ethereum protocol, it is USD 95.1 million. In third place, without any surprise, was Solana, which recorded a strong jump of 55% over the last week, and the trading volume of non-fungible tokens amounted to USD 66 million.

Ethereum is no longer the leader in the NFT market. A surprising change in the balance of power

<h2>A financial company draws a positive forecast for one of the largest cryptocurrency projects</h2>The recent BTC price rally has sparked new enthusiasm in the world of digital currencies, and with it, increased interest in other cryptocurrencies. According to the forecasts of a widely recognized asset management company - VanEck - Solana (SOL) has a good chance of achieving noticeably better results than Ethereum (ETH) by 2024.<h3>Can Solana beat Ethereum?</h3>The spectacular increase in value by as much as 212% in just the last 60 days has resulted in Solana's share on the cryptocurrency market significantly increasing. Digital currency analysts also expect Solana's price oracle platform, Pyth, to likely overtake Chainlink in terms of total value secured (TVS) soon. It is worth adding here that despite Chainlink's current market dominance, analysts deeply believe that the innovative system architecture will make Pyth ultimately defeat its most serious rival.It is worth noting that Solana is currently trading at an average price of $73 per coin, and its price has increased by over 11% in just the last 24 hours. Moreover, there was also an additional increase in 24-hour trading volume to levels exceeding even USD 4.1 billion.Financial firm VanEck additionally forecasts that Ethereum will likely not reach a higher market capitalization than Bitcoin (BTC) until 2024. While Ethereum is likely to outperform other major tech stocks, Bitcoin's regulatory transparency and scale of energy efficiency are widely expected to attract interest from state-owned entities in Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East.Despite Ethereum's very decent results, according to the most common forecasts, it will probably lose market share to other smart contract platforms, such as Solana, whose main competitive advantage is that it can boast a much more reliable scalability schedule. Finally, it is impossible not to mention that Argentina is expected to join the countries sponsoring BTC mining at the state level. This would mean that Argentina would follow in the footsteps of countries such as the United Arab Emirates, El Salvador, Bhutan and Oman.

<h2>Cryptocurrency investors who expect the sector to decline suffer significant losses.</h2>According to data provided by the popular firm S3 Partners, short-term investors who focus on companies related to the oldest cryptocurrency suffered significant financial losses exceeding $6 billion in total by trying to short BTC in 2023. These losses were caused by a sudden but consistent reversal of the bearish trend on the Bitcoin chart , as well as the oldest cryptocurrency regaining key price levels.<h3>Traders have lost a fortune shorting Bitcoin-related companies</h3>Based on a report published by the analytical company S3 Partners, traders who at the beginning of 2023 adopted a bearish stance towards listed cryptocurrency companies such as Coinbase, Marathon Digital and MicroStrategy recorded losses of $6.05 billion.Due to the long-term increasing value of digital currencies, many investors taking short positions on shares of companies related to the crypto industry have made significant losses.In just the first three quarters of 2023, some short-term investors reduced their exposure to cryptocurrencies as the sector apparently rebounded. However, since Bitcoin's last low of $25.1K in September 2023, there has been a sustained and sharp increase in short selling totaling approximately $697 million as traders dramatically increased their exposure to what they perceived as an "overbought market." .In a sudden turnaround in the stock market, BTC experienced a significant increase in value and reached a new yearly high of over $44,300 on December 5 this year. This unexpected upward rally resulted in approximately $2.65 billion in losses for short-term investors.<h4>Strong increases in the value of BTC-related enterprises</h4>Undoubtedly, this year's increases in share prices of companies such as Coinbase and MicroStrategy may have been a challenge for many traders who were betting on shorting these shares. For the Brian Armstrong-led company, this year's 290% stock rally has resulted in losses estimated at about $3.5 billion for short-term traders. It is worth adding that this currently constitutes more than half of the total losses incurred in this way throughout 2023.Additionally, MicroStrategy's over 300% growth this year contributed to roughly $1.4 billion in losses for cryptocurrency traders. Despite the current strong growth in the market for digital currencies and related companies, some investors still decide to take short positions, most likely hoping that the upward rally will lose momentum at some point.
