The Ethereum price has fallen by 1% in the past 24 hours, slipping to $3,808 on a day when the crypto market as a whole has scarcely moved.
ETH is now up by 2% in a week and by 27% in a month, with the market’s biggest altcoin also sitting on a 100% increase in the last 12 months.
And what’s exciting is that Ethereum is now looking forward to its highly anticipated Pectra upgrade, which some community members expect to arrive by Q1 2025.

On top of this, more details have emerged about the upcoming Petra update, with some experts suggesting a launch in the first quarter of next year.
Pectra, the next Ethereum network upgrade, is shaping up to be the biggest in Ethereum's history!
