The full transition to Ethereum 2.0, with its shift to Proof of Stake (PoS), likely boosts ETH's value by reducing circulating supply. Staking requires users to lock up ETH to secure the network, effectively removing a significant portion from active trading. With less ETH available on the market and demand remaining steady or growing, basic supply-demand dynamics suggest upward pressure on price. Additionally, inflation slows as issuance rates drop (from ~4-5% in PoW to below 1% in PoS), making ETH scarcer over time and potentially more valuable.
