I think people are underestimating what Pectra will do for mainstream and institutional adoption.
For staking providers like Coinbase or the ETFs that want to provide staking rewards, it’s likely they would have demand for enough ETH that requires 1,000+ validators.
The maintenance and upkeep for that is a huge burden which Pectra reduces by over 50x.
Then the “smartwallet but not a smartwallet” features, which allows for social recovery at the base layer rather than using a regular smart contract wallet which adds all sorts of complexities.
This also allows for gated access to assets without necessarily exposing their private key since it has ownership (which I assume could be multisig too). This would help custody providers ease up who probably currently generate keys and have vaults 100ft below a volcano for safety.
I think post-Pectra is when we could see the first US bank start to hold crypto for its customers.
