Impact of PoS migration on forecasts
The rise around Ethereum by the crypto community comes amid ongoing network upgrades to achieve full proof-of-stake (PoS) status. Proponents expect the PoS transition to positively impact the price of Ethereum by potentially reducing the cost of transactions on the network, which remains the biggest factor. Specifically, the number of transactions in Ethereum depends on gas prices. Therefore, if gas prices fall, the market can expect a pump in smaller transactions, increasing grid usage and possibly higher prices. By March 9, 2022, Ethereum recorded a decline in transaction gas fees to hit a six-month low.
At the same time, the market should watch out for ‘Ethereum killers’ like Solana and Avalanche, who are already working on proof-of-stake mechanisms. The magnitude of this rivalry is highlighted in a recent report by data provider Staking Rewards, which shows that the total staked value of Terra’s native token LUNA is over $26 billion. The amount is higher than Ethereum’s $24 billion, with Solana topping at least $32 billion. Currently, Ethereum’s dominance over these competitors is due to the network’s role in powering decentralized finance (DeFi) solutions.
