Ethereum

<p>Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has laid out a vision to further decentralize the network without compromising security. In a post shared on X earlier today, Buterin suggested that Ethereum developers should rethink the current 32 ETH staking requirement, calling it a higher barrier than the network's bandwidth demands.</p>  
<p>Buterin’s proposal involves slightly increasing the bandwidth requirement to allow the network to lower the minimum staking deposit to 16 or even 24 ETH. This adjustment, he argues, would make staking more accessible while enhancing decentralization across the network.</p>

<p>As the Ethereum developers work on the PeerDAS upgrade and the Orbit SSF, Buterin noted that there is a chance to lower the current staking minimum to 1 unit.</p>

<p>While Ethereum’s network upgrades remain a focal point, its price has been under pressure amid a broader crypto market correction triggered by Bitcoin’s fall below $61k. Technically, <a href="https://coinpedia.org/price-prediction/market-price-prediction-ethereum-2019/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum</a> is retesting a critical support level, signaling potential midterm weakness. However, a bullish rebound could be on the horizon if whale selloffs decrease.</p>  
<p>Despite the daily death cross between the 50 and 200 <a href="https://coinpedia.org/traders/what-is-moving-average-indicator/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Moving Averages</a> (MA), Ethereum price has been forming a potential bullish rebound characterized by an inverted head and shoulder (H&amp;S) pattern coupled with a bullish divergence on the <a href="https://coinpedia.org/traders/what-is-relative-strength-index-rsi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Relative Strength Index</a> (RSI).</p>

<p>Recent data indicates weak demand for US spot Ether ETFs, with net cash outflows totaling $557 million since their approval. On top of that, on-chain data shows that a participant from the initial Ether ICO has deposited 19,000 ETH (worth over $47 million) to centralized exchanges, signaling a likely selloff.</p>   [post_titles_links postid="359392"]
