More Bearish Pressure Incoming for Ethereum (ETH) Price

Ethereum platform recently underwent a network upgrade, where-in it switched from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake without halting the platform. This transformation required the validators to stake ETH on ETH 2.0 platform. Interestingly, the total amount of ETH staked on the platform surpassed the required amount and is marking new highs every new day.

Presently, the ETH 2.0 contract address holds nearly 12% of the entire supply which is getting shrunk with every transaction due to the burn mechanism. This may further lead to a huge drop in the exchange reserves while TVL could keep on rising high which is an alarming situation when the Shanghai Hard Fork is fast approaching.
