    On 16 Oct, the Ethereum Foundation announced the Hoodi testnet fork will occur on 26 Oct at 17:42:48 UTC (epoch 132,352) with a gas limit of 200,000,000, only on the Hoodi testnet.

    The mainnet date has not been set.

    Ethereum Supply and Holdings

    There are about 122.15 million ETH in circulation, with no max supply.

    BitMine alone holds about 4.95% of the supply.

    Support is around $2,403 with resistance at the $2,498 and $2,537 closes on the 13th and 11th, respectively.
