The Ethereum blockchain is about to receive an important update on April 12th, namely the Shanghai Upgrade. The main purpose of this upgrade is to enable the extraction of Ethereum (ETH) already pledged on the Beacon Chain. Currently, over 17 million Ethereum coins are locked on the Beacon Chain, accounting for over 15% of ETH's total supply.How will this upgrade affect the price and market of ETH? We believe that from multiple perspectives, the upgrade in Shanghai is beneficial for ETH, for the following reasons:Enhancing the attractiveness of beacon chains Beacon chain is a core component of Ethereum's Proof of Rights (PoS) consensus mechanism, which enables Ethereum networks to be more secure, efficient, and environmentally friendly. Currently, to become a verifier of the beacon chain, at least 32 ETHs need to be pledged and cannot be extracted. For some users, this may be a high threshold and risk. After the upgrade in Shanghai, pledgers can freely extract their ETH and rewards, which will reduce the cost and risk of pledging, attract more users to participate in pledging, and increase the security and decentralization of the Ethereum network.Reduce the cost of second tier solutions

As of writing, the price of Bitcoin is $27475 and the price of Ethereum is $1842, and the market is still in a clear downward trend.Although the current market trend is in a downward trend,However, this round of rise still laid the foundation for cryptocurrencies to completely break free from the bear market cycle and provided optimism for subsequent market developments.At present, it is widely believed in the market that the cryptocurrency bull market has gradually started, especially with only one year left for Bitcoin's fourth halving and the traditional financial market facing a recession. Two major positive factors will drive the bull market to arrive early: 1、 According to the halving of Bitcoin and the bull market pattern, cryptocurrencies will usher in a new bull market next year.The halving cycle of Bitcoin is four years. The last halving occurred on May 12, 2020, and it is expected that the next halving may occur between March 2024 and June 2024. 2、 Traditional financial markets may face recession, providing a broader basis and logic for cryptocurrencies to rise.Federal Reserve policymakers expected a mild recession later this year at their March meeting, followed by a recovery in the next two years. This is the first time since 2020 that the Federal Reserve has publicly stated its expectation of a recession.The leading indicator index of the World Federation of Large Enterprises also shows that an economic recession is approaching.Justyna Zabinska LaMonica, senior manager of business cycle indicators, a think-tank, said that it was expected that the economic weakness would intensify and expand in the coming months, leading to a recession from the middle of 2023.With the view that the bull market has already started, market predictions for Bitcoin prices next year are also emerging one after another. According to market information, there are currently three main types of market predictions for Bitcoin prices: 1、 Bloomberg analysts predict that Bitcoin prices will reach $50000 in April next year.Bloomberg industry research analyst Jamie Douglas Coutts said that based on previous cycles,The upcoming halving of Bitcoin is currently reflected in approximately 50% of market quotes。 Coutts prediction,By April 2024, Bitcoin may reach $50000
