Following the network's latest Shanghai upgrade, Ethereum is soaring.
The second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization is currently up almost 6% over the past 24 hours, with ETH trading hands at around $1,980, per CoinGecko.
Liquidation data from Coinglass also suggest that bearish traders were proven wrong too, with Ethereum leading the pack at more than $44 million trades liquidated over the past 24 hours.
Of that sum, roughly 77% of those positions were short.
The successful execution of the Shanghai upgrade finally allowed Ethereum stakers to withdraw their holdings since staking first kicked off in December 2020.
This was the network's biggest upgrade since last September's merge event, when Ethereum moved from a proof-of-work consensus algorithm to a proof-of-stake one.
As a proof-of-stake network, Ethereum taps validators instead of miners to secure the network. To become a validator, users must first deposit (or stake) 32 Ethereum, roughly $63,000 at press time, to the network and maintain a node at all times to earn rewards.
Should that node fail, validators can have that 32 ETH sum slashed as a penalty.
Prior to Shanghai, however, these validators weren't allowed to withdraw from the network nor collect any accumulated awards. This led to widespread speculation that the ability to finally withdraw funds would incite a bearish impulse on the network.
Indeed, as data pulled from Nansen indicates, many validators have indeed made their exit, taking with them their staked Ethereum and rewards as they leave. Over the past 24 hours, there has been a net exit of more than 84,500 ETH.
But based on current price performance, it doesn't appear that the newly-unlocked Ethereum is being sold on the open market. At least not yet.

A Satoshi-era Bitcoin wallet moved 40,009 BTC to crypto exchange Galaxy Digital on Monday evening. The funds are worth roughly $4.7 billion in today’s prices. The identity of the wallet owner is unknown. Blockchain sleuths, including OnchainLens and Nansen, noted that 6,000 of the recently moved Bitcoin—worth roughly $706 million—was then transferred into the centralized exchanges Binance and Bybit. The blockchain sleuths said this could be an indicator that the wallet was likely preparing to se...
The market giveth and the market taketh. It’s a sentiment that was in evidence Tuesday morning as the crypto market retreated sharply following Bitcoin's Monday rally to $123,000, with major digital assets experiencing widespread declines as traders took profits from recent gains. Dogecoin (DOGE) led the losses among the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap, plummeting 7% to $0.19 amid a broad-based selloff across the crypto market, as per CoinGecko data. Ethereum (ETH) fell 2.4% to under $3,0...
Stress in global bond markets is beginning to ripple through risk assets, with Bitcoin emerging as a potential beneficiary. A renewed move into hard assets echoes past episodes where cracks in sovereign debt markets triggered defensive positioning. Japan’s bond rout may be an early warning of broader fiscal strain. Unrealized losses on Japanese bonds are mounting, with 30-year yields rising to 3.2% on July 15 in levels not seen before, erasing an estimated 45% of their value since 2019, The Kobe...
