As of now, Ethereum is valued at $2,330, showcasing a daily increase of 1.64% and a monthly growth of 8.16%. This consistent uptrend fuels speculations that Ethereum might soon reach the $5,000 mark.
According to insights from Intotheblock’s 2023 Review, the percentage of long-term Ethereum ($ETH) holders has surpassed that of Bitcoin, marking the second occurrence of such an event.

– Emphasis on cross-rollup standards and interoperability for long-term enhancements.
– Redesigning of “The Scourge” to some extent.
– Progress toward the readiness of Verkle trees for inclusion.
– Reduction in the concept of “state expiry” to align with general consensus.
– Addition of deep crypto features (e.g., obfuscation) and delay-encrypted mempools.
