The Ethereum [ETH] merge is set to come to an end, with its final upgrade — Shapella (Shanghai + Capella) — less than 36 hours away. The final event will let stakers withdraw their locked funds, thus enabling them to enter and exit their staking positions at any given point.
In anticipation of the Shapella upgrade, the ETH staking pool witnessed a surge in the number of one-time depositors. Data form Glassnode stated that staking pools usually witnessed recurring deposits.
However, that wasn’t the case anymore. Major events witnessed a spike in the number of one-time depositors.
