Quick Take

• Ethereum has broken $2,000 a day after the Shanghai upgrade.

• Changes in active validators from the past two days are now positive, which saw back-to-back negative adjustments for the first time.
• The voluntary exit count seems to have subsided; the voluntary exit count on a 1-hour resolution spiked to 3,600 before dropping to 1,200 on April 13.
