이더리움(ETH) 가격이 최근 8개월 만에 최고치를 기록했다. 5일(현지시각) 코인마켓캡 데이터 기준 이더리움은 1주일 전보다 약 6% 상승한 1900달러선에 거래됐다. 1900달러선을 돌파한 건 지난 8월 이후 처음이다. 이 배경엔 오는 12일 예정된 상하이 업그레이드가 꼽힌다. ‘샤펠라(Shapella)’로도 불리는 업그레이드가 성공적으로 이뤄지면 이더리움 네트워크에 묶여있던 ETH 1800만개 거래가 자유로워진다. 유동성이 커지면 이더리움 가격에 어떤 영향을 미칠까?

The so-called ‘Merge,’ considered to be the biggest update in the history of cryptocurrency, has come and gone: the Ethereum network successfully transitioned from its miner-centered proof-of-work (PoW) mining method to the validator-centered proof-of-stake (PoS) method.This merge, which refers to the act of combining the existing PoW-based mainnet with a pre-made PoS-based testnet, not only marks a significant development in Ethereum’s development, but also marks the cryptocurrency’s transition to operating on PoS in earnest.Why has this Ethereum merge had such a significant impact on the cryptocurrency market? Put simply, Ethereum (ETH)’s supply mechanism has changed. Given that many DeFi (Decentralized Finance) services operate on Ethereum’s blockchain, on which ETH, the second largest cryptocurrency is issued, changes in the ETH issuance mechanism are expected to have a significant impact on other cryptocurrencies, especially as the ETH blockchain is also connected to various layer 2 blockchains.
