As expected, the prediction sparked off the old tirade of crypto tribalism from maximalists, especially, the stern Bitcoin maxis.
The fact that the current momentum in the market is favoring Ethereum (ETH) is an indication that the digital asset is poised to print a favorable performance this year. How high it would rise remains to be seen.
Over $4 Billion Ethereum (ETH) Staked
At current prices, there is now over $4 billion worth of ETH locked in the Ethereum 2.0 deposit contract. This whopping amount of ETH is expected to remain locked up for at least another year.

According to the report by ETH 2.0 Launchpad, the sum in ETH is around 2.82 million, which is almost 2.5% of Ethereum’s total supply.
Currently, earnings are roughly 9.3% APY, which is an impressive return for those that have staked their assets, coupled with the fact that ETH has surged by about 140% since the launch of Ethereum 2.0’s Beacon Chain about two months ago.
