Ethereum’s merge with Beacon chain was completed in September this year. The chain is now due for its next upgrade called The Shanghai Upgrade, which may significantly reduce the infamous gas fee of the chain, as per industry experts’ forecast. The price of Ethereum during the Beacon chain upgrade did witness a slight spike but was later hit owing to several incidents like the Fed’s increase in the interest rate and the economic meltdown that the world has been facing since the Terra LUNA collapse. During the Merge, ETH has hit the $2000 mark.
