ETH2 Update
Ethereum Foundation developers have been giving updates about the upcoming upgrade, ETH2 or Serenity. The upgrade is expected to dramatically overhaul the blockchain and implementing new token-economics.
Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin recently commented on the token-economics of ETH2:
“In two years the main task will be to stabilize and cherish what we will have built. Until then, participation in Ethereum is unavoidably in part a prediction that the roadmap is a good one and that once this upgrading process ends we actually will get to a place where the network is efficient and stable and powerful and capable of being the base of significant parts of the global economy.”
Analysts think the upgrade will drive prices higher as investors seek to buy Ethereum to stake in mass quantity.
