The full Ethereum 2.0 transition sets ETH up for long-term value growth, thanks to staking and reduced inflation. Staking locks up millions of ETH, shrinking supply, while inflation nearing zero makes it a scarcer asset. However, the real impact depends on adoption—more dApps, users, and transactions mean more fees burned and higher staking demand. If Ethereum solidifies its dominance in smart contracts, ETH’s value could skyrocket; if not, the benefits of staking and low inflation might underwhelm.
