How high could Ethereum price go with Triple Halving

Ethereum Merge is going live sooner than the community expected. Core developers of the Ethereum Foundation announced a tentative Merge date as September 15. Ethereum’s successful transition to proof-of-stake is expected to lead to a drop in ETH supply of – according to some estimates – between 80-90% as a result of a mass burn following Merge, in effect causing what amounts to a ‘triple halving’. This is expected to push the ETH price substantially higher.
