Ethereum uspješno završio spajanje, kripto tržišta su poražena: ovosedmični sažetak

The past seven days saw the successful transition of Ethereum’s network from a Proof-of-Work consensus algorithm to one governed by Proof-of-Stake. The event was described by many as one of the most significant technical achievements in the industry and is put on par by importance with Bitcoin’s halving. However, the total market declined by some $20 billion over the same period as many cryptocurrencies are charting decreases.

Bitcoin is among the outliers in terms of price performance over the past seven days. BTC’s price is charting a 2.7% increase compared to where it was trading a week ago. As a matter of fact, the cryptocurrency increased to as much as $22,500 on September 13th, but that’s when the bears stepped in and pushed its price towards $20K. At the time of this writing, BTC is found at slightly below the important psychological levels, and it seems that the battle for it is ongoing.

Elsewhere, the event that everyone is still talking about went through successfully. Ethereum’s proof-of-work mainnet merged with the PoS-based Beacon chain, putting a halt to the PoW era once and for all. However, the short-term effect on ETH’s price seems negative. Since implementing PoS, the cryptocurrency is down almost 8%, pushing ETH below $1,500 and charting a total decrease of 10% for the past seven days.

It’s worth noting that altcoins are trading in the red collectively. BNB is down 1.7%, XRP is down 3%, whereas Polkadot dropped by a more considerable 7%.

This has pushed Bitcoin’s dominance – the indicator used to gauge BTC’s share relative to that of the entire market – towards 38%. This is indicative of its better performance compared to altcoins.

Now that the Merge is through, it’s very interesting to see how the market will shape up going forward. Ethereum Classic’s network, for once, saw some benefits as its hashrate increased almost immediately after the upgrade took place. There was also a hard fork that saw the creation of a PoW-based Ethereum network, and some of the leading miners have expressed support.

In any case, with one of the biggest technical implementations passing successfully, it’s very interesting to see how the market will shape up in the coming weeks.
