It is a well-known fact that Ethereum price is somehow tied to the price of the industry leader in cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin. Expectations are Ethereum to lose its support zone of $600 If Bitcoin price falls below the $20k level. It is even possible the ETH to enter below the $500 zone if Bitcoin crashes. In turn, this will affect the amount of daily returns for validators.
Ethereum staked on the ETH 2.0 protocol upgrade reaching $1 billion is marking yet another milestone for the development of Ethereum’s community.
