JAKARTA - The global crypto market was recently shocked by the massive withdrawing of funds by the Ethereum validator, which reached a value of $320 million (around IDR 4.98 trillion). This event raises concerns about the security and stability of the Ethereum network. The withdrawal of funds comes ahead of the Dencun upgrade which is expected to increase network scalability and efficiency.

On March 13, the price of Ethereum had risen to $4,078 (approximately IDR 63.5 million), but this condition caused anxiety among investors. This concern is getting stronger by the swelling of the number of Ethereum deposits on the crypto exchange on March 11, which reached 62,096 ETH.

The surge in deposits indicates the possibility of large amounts of ETH sales. This situation is usually seen as a sign of bearish in the market, where investors tend to sell their assets. Despite the beginning, the Dencun upgrade is expected to overcome this concern by introducing proto-danksharding through EIP-4844, which aims to increase network efficiency and capacity.

The Dencun upgrade is an important step in the Ethereum roadmap to increase scalability through the use of layer-2 rollups. Price trend analysis from IntoTheBlock and Coinspeaker shows significant purchase order accumulation. This triggers market optimism for Ethereum potentials. HyblockCapital data also shows that if Ethereum can bypass $4,205 levels, this could trigger large liquidation.

On the other hand, if Ethereum manages to penetrate that level, this is agreed to open up opportunities for further price increases. At the same time, the implementation of this upgrade is expected to bring Ethereum to a higher level in terms of network performance and security.

With the increase in Dencun, Ethereum has the potential to expand its capacity in dealing with transactions and decentralization applications (DApp). This will be a significant step forward for the Ethereum ecosystem and could be a turning point for the future of crypto. This upgrade can also increase investor confidence and strengthen the leading Ethereum platform blockchain.
