Terence.eth, an Ethereum developer working on Arbitrum, revealed that some of the Prsym validators failed to upgrade to new client releases and are offline due to using the old Geth version. However, these validators will come online after a few minutes.

Ethereum Price After the Shanghai Upgrade on Sepolia Testnet
Ethereum price is currently trading at $1,627, continuing to move in a range above the $1,600 level. The 24-hour low and high are $1,615 and $1,662, respectively. Furthermore, the trading volume has increased by 15% in the last 24 hours, indicating a slight increase in interest.
The ETH price action has lost pace amid the fear of hawkish rhetoric from the U.S. Federal Reserve. The broader crypto market has also continued to be under pressure and is expected to bounce next month.
