The upgrade, also known as Shapella, is scheduled for April 13, 2023 (UTC). A key feature of the upgrade is that it will allow withdrawal of staked ETH, which is not possible at the time of writing. This is an event of particular interest to investors and traders in the Ethereum community.
The survey conducted by OKX included 700 Ethereum traders, investors and developers at the ETH Denver conference March 1-5, 2023. The main findings of the survey are as follows:
- 83% of respondents believe that more ETH will be staked in the next three months.
- 63% of respondents predict that by the end of 2023, ETH will hit an all-time high above $5,000.
- 79% of respondents expect the price of ETH to react to another Shapella The Merge.
- 59% believe growth will continue before and after the upgrade.
- 20% think ETH will trade sideways.
- 33% of respondents expect ETH to exceed its current 6-month high of $2,000 by June 2023, but remain below its 12-month high of $3,000.
- 34% of respondents predict that ETH will be below $2,000, while 33% believe it will reach at least $3,100 by June 2023.
Currently, 18 million ETH has been staked, equivalent to more than $33.6 billion. Investors can earn APR by staking 4.65% of ETH.
OKX announced that they will begin processing pledged ETH withdrawal requests within a week of Shapella’s launch, after completing on-chain code checks to ensure customer safety.
