Following the successful Dencun upgrade, Ethereum developers are planning the next upgrade, called "Pectra," which aims to include small improvements while simultaneously working on the chain's next upgrade. The upgrade is likely to include EIP 3074, which proposes code changes to improve the user experience of Ethereum wallets by allowing users to batch transactions and sign off on them all at once. Another proposed change is EIP 7251, which would increase the staking limit for validators from 32 ETH to 2,048 ETH, allowing large staking providers to consolidate their validators and avoid bogging down the system.

Ethereum and Bitcoin faced challenges that were overcome with a very cautious approach, resulting in an extraordinary case study for global human coordination. Adding real-world data through oracles as another layer on top of it is a very promising next step. However, so far, we have taken this step forward without the same caution that is fundamental to the journey toward a decentralized ecosystem. Perhaps we were too close to the problem, focusing only on the outcome - making data accessible - and not being mindful enough about the process allowing it.

On April 5th, QCPCapital, a cryptocurrency market maker, pointed out in its latest research report that the cryptocurrency market will perform poorly at the beginning of the second quarter of 2024. The price of Bitcoin has fallen below $70,000 and is fluctuating within a narrow range. The scale of ETF fund inflows is not sufficient to drive price trends. The funding rate tends to be stable, and the front end of the forward curve has fallen from a high point of 50% to below 20%. However, it is worth noting that the back end of the forward curve is still at a high level, and investors are interested in longer-term spot-forward basis positions. This may be due to the continued demand for Bitcoin 2025 long-term call options in the market. QCP believes that the bullish demand for Bitcoin and the upward momentum of spot ETF fund inflows will support Bitcoin prices and is expected to push Bitcoin above $70,000 this weekend. On the other hand, Ethereum continues to be weak. ETHBTC is testing key support levels after falling below 0.05. The market continues to sell a large number of Ethereum long call options, which has lowered the implied volatility and formed some downward pressure on prices. QCP analysis believes that this may once again indicate that the early signal of the shift from frenzy to panic for altcoins represented by Ethereum.

Data shows the ETH/BTC exchange rate has fallen below 0.05 and is now at 0.04853, with a daily decline of 2.41%.
