It is also expected that less than 1% of the staked ETH will be withdrawn.</p><p>This low withdrawal rate could be due to several reasons, including the high gas fees required to initiate the withdrawal process, the belief that Ethereum's value will increase in the future, and the opportunity cost of not earning staking rewards. Additionally, some validators may have chosen to remain staked to support the network's security.</p><p>In other Ethereum news, an Ethereum researcher has raised concerns that staking Ether could become a privacy issue, as staking discloses a user's IP address information.

This upgrade is expected to improve the network's scalability and reduce transaction fees, but it remains to be seen how it will impact the overall Ethereum ecosystem.</p><h3 id="also-read-a-href-https-www-coingabbar-com-en-crypto-currency-news-man-sentenced-to-prison-for-btc-fraud-rel-noopener-noreferrer-nofollow-man-sentenced-to-prison-for-silk-road-bitcoin-fraud-after-almost-decade-long-chase-a">Also, Read - <a href="https://www.coingabbar.com/en/crypto-currency-news/man-sentenced-to-prison-for-btc-fraud" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Man Sentenced to Prison for Silk Road Bitcoin Fraud After Almost Decade-Long Chase</a></h3>
