ETH price chart:
As reported, the ETH rally is among the main reasons why the Ethereum camp is struggling to raise ETH 524,288 in order to order to launch Phase 0 of ETH 2.0.
At the time of writing, according to the data provided by Dune Analytics, ETH 106,496 has been already sent to the ETH 2.0 deposit contract, or 20% of the needed amount.
Meanwhile, ETH developers are considering launching Phase 0 even without reaching the initial threshold.
