Ethereum’s cofounder, Vitalik Buterin, recently made a significant transfer of USDC, a stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar. The Vitalik Buterin-labeled address moved 3,300 USDC in the early hours of today. The reason for the transfer was a simple reshuffling of funds, as the said 3,300 USDC were moved to a new address.
The Ethereum market is currently experiencing a dip, down 5.71% in the last 24 hours to $2,246. This slump in the crypto market comes after speculations arose about MatrixPort’s bearish prediction for Bitcoin spot ETF approval. Despite the current slump, a crypto analyst believes that Ethereum is still showing momentum but has a significant gap to traverse to be at the same level as Bitcoin. It is expected that Ethereum might see a bit of consolidation before continuing toward $3,000–$3,500 during Q1, 2024.
Looking ahead to 2024, it is expected to be an exciting year for the Ethereum network, starting with the Dencun hard fork. At the end of 2023, Ethereum published its roadmap, which showed only small differences from the previous year. Buterin stated in a series of posts on X (previously Twitter) that Ethereum’s sustained focus in 2024 will be on six essential components. These six parts — Merge, Surge, Scourge, Verge, Purge and Splurge — were expounded on in a thorough chart with commentaries and graphics. Buterin has also indicated his intention to revive the original vision of the “cypherpunk” revolution for the Ethereum blockchain.
