Justin Sun’s ETH Commitment Makes Sense

It seems logical that Justin Sun committed significant quantities of ETH to the liquid staking pool Lido. It is also very evident that Justin Sun is optimistic about the Ethereum Shanghai upgrade and intends to take advantage of the chance. In reality, as the Shanghai upgrade nears, Ethereum staking keeps increasing.

The Shapella (Shanghai/Capella) upgrade will be established on the Sepolia testnet at block height 56832, which is anticipated around 04:04:48 UTC on February 28. This was previously stated by the Ethereum Foundation. Validators will be able to transfer their Ethereum stakes from the Beacon Chain to the execution layer.

As of the day of writing, Ethereum‘s staking yield was 4.9 percent per year. According to Justin Sun’s example, the yearly return on 190,000 ETH will be around 9,300 ETH. This translates as a return of $14,500,000 at the current exchange rate. The second-largest cryptocurrency by market value, Ether, is now trading at $1570 at 23.50 TSI.
