1) The Merge (Transition to Proof of Stake)
Estimated timeline: ~Q1/Q2 2022
Why is this bullish: Plenty of reasons including,
- Tremendous energy efficiency
- Lower issuance (even lower inflation, makes existing ETH more valuable)
- Miner fees/tips will go to validators (increased staking rewards)
2) Sharding
Estimated timeline: ~2022
Why is this bullish:
- Improve Ethereum’s scalability and capacity
- Reduce gas fees
- Significantly more transactions per second (TPS)
3) Ethereum ETFs in US
Estimated timeline: Shortly after Bitcoin ETFs (which could itself be in 2021/2022)
Why is this bullish:
- Leads to more institutional buying and demand
- Adds even more legitimacy to ETH as an asset
Companies applying for ETH ETFs include:
- Bitwise
- Kryptoin
