Crypto Experts Predict Major Changes Ahead for Ethereum and the Cryptoverse

Bitcoin and ether prices surge as former BitMex CEO Arthur Hayes predicts the "balkanization of finance" and the collapse of the Western banking system. Hayes believes that traditional banking is broken and that finance will never be the same. Meanwhile, the Ethereum network's Shanghai upgrade is expected to have a minimal impact on the price of ether, with most staked ether being held at a loss. The futures market is pricing in modest gains for ether on contracts that expire at the end of June, and new inflation data is scheduled to be released on April 12.
