The Shanghai upgrade of Ethereum (ETH) will allow validators to cash out “locked” ether in staking, which may worry investors regarding a drop in the price of the cryptocurrency. However, the developers have implemented daily withdrawal limits to mitigate this risk. A Messari report outlines that a mass sale that devalues ether is unlikely to occur, and points out three main reasons for this: only a small percentage of validators will be able to leave per day, most validators are long-term HODLers, and there are options of "liquid" staking. Even so, it is important to remember that the cryptocurrency market is volatile and unpredictable.
