Could Ethereum's v2.0 upgrade lead to a significant price surge?
Ethereum, the second largest cryptocurrency by market capitalisation and a very popular name, has always been plagued with scalability issues, making it less optimal than desired for adopters. This may have been one of the reasons why, one of the “Big Four” accounting organisations, Deloitte, decided to migrate their clients’ data from the Ethereum blockchain onto VeChain.
Ethereum popularised the smart-contracts concept. Nonetheless, it used the consensus mechanism employed by Bitcoin to verify transactions, the Proof-of-Work model. The latter is highly secure but inefficient in terms of energy consumption and throughput. As a blockchain, that should be able to process a large number of transactions per second, to fulfil its use-case, Ethereum needs to move to a Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism, which will occur with the upgrade.
Multiple upgrades will be introduced to Ethereum in the “Ethereum v2.0 Serenity Upgrade”. The first being the implementation of Casper, Ethereum’s Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism. Sharding will also be implemented, allowing a higher throughput by dividing validation tasks into smaller chunks. Although Ethereum v2.0 will not be fully completed for 2-3 years, the genesis block of ETH v2.0 may launch on January 3rd, 2020. Phase 0, which will be called the Beacon Chain, will use ETH v2.0 as a staking asset. ETH v1.0 tokens will be converted to ETH v2.0 through a registration contract (each time this is done, the ETH v1.0 token(s) claimed will be burnt).
As we have seen with the impending Litecoin halving, prices are often subjected to speculative surges before major events. Ethereum's v2.0 upgrade, which looks to address one of its key flaws may well have the same positive impact on its price.
In the past years, we have seen significant institutional backing of Ethereum thanks to the Ethereum Enterprise Alliance (EEA) initiative. However, once this upgrade is completed, it will take Ethereum’s functionality and efficiency to new levels and may ignite global adoption.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
