By enabling previously inaccessible staked ETH withdrawable, the upgrade completed Ethereum’s transition to a proof of stake network.This switch to proof of stake is important because users stake <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/ethereum-price-declines-as-the-imminent-shanghai-upgrade-nears/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETH</a> with the network to confirm on-chain transactions and are compensated for their involvement with freshly created ETH.As per reports, analysts had different points of view about the possible price movement leading up to the upgrade. Some anticipated that new supply would enhance sell pressure, while others believed that it would turn into a psychological conflict where traders punish the overly active short trade.ETH is currently trading at around $1,914, approximately where it was before the update.  With a 24-hour trading volume of $11,068,850,045, ETH has increased by 2.57% in the past 24 hours as per CoinMarketcap.
