Daily transactions on the network have stayed above one million except for one day since December 2020. It dramatically increases the difficulty for miners to verify transactions on the network, thus reducing profitability for PoW miners. We were already over time, and want to be sure that we sanity check all the numbers before selecting an exact delay and deployment time, but we are aiming for a ~2 month delay, and for the upgrade to go live late June.— Tim Beiko

Ethereum now relies on proof of work, in which miners compete to solve complicated riddles in order to validate transactions.

The developers of Ethereum are hoping that the difficulty bomb would encourage miners to approve the merger. The complexity bomb will be introduced by the developers to encourage support for the post-merge proof of stake chain. When the Ethereum network undergoes the true merge, a big upgrade that will convert it from proof of work to proof of stake, the difficulty explosion will be beneficial. The developers of Ethereum are hoping that the difficulty bomb would encourage miners to approve the merger. During Friday’s meeting, Ethereum developers revealed that the difficulty bomb will most likely be postponed. - Ethereum now relies on proof of work, in which miners compete to solve complicated riddles in order to validate transactions.

Decentraland has emerged as one of the leading metaverse tokens and is currently held by some of the wealthiest ETH whales. According to reports, as of March 2022, Ethereum whales held more than US$400 million worth of Tether. But quite shortly after that after TerraUSD de-pegged, USDT lost the trust of wealthy ETH whales. Some ETH whales also seem to be fans of the Polygon cryptocurrency, owning nearly US$380 million worth of MATIC tokens. FTX is the native token of the crypto trading exchange. As mentioned above, Shiba Inu is one of the top preferences of the wealthiest Ethereum whales. As of May 2022, the top 100 Ethereum whales held Shiba Inu, which has directly affected its popularity and growth.

However, stETH which should be the same price was trading at $1,294, 5% below its peg according to CoinGecko. If this occurs, stakers become discouraged from staking elsewhere “due to outsized cartel rewards,” he added. Its staking Ethereum token, stETH has depegged from the underlying asset following Ethereum’s massive weekend selloff.

Much has been said about ETH's merger, however, how has the token faired amid the ongoing changes to the network? Let's find out…

The performance of the token on a social front wasn’t its best either. One such crypto holder was Lark Davis who posted in favor of the ETH on 11 June. As per additional data, the NVT ratio of the token, on 10 June, further stood at 43.28 thus strengthening the ETH bears at the time of writing. The last ETH mining revenue all-time-low of $937,486.36 was recorded on 27 June 2021. At the time of writing, the ETH token stood at a value of $1,666 and has been trading 6.9% lower in the last 24 hours. On 9 June, Ethereum developers successfully merged the Ropsten testnet with the beacon chain, and changes to the execution layer are expected to come at a later stage.

Meanwhile, the Beacon Chain which is the PoS coordination chain already has validators that generate and validate new blocks in tandem with the PoW execution chaim. The effect of which was also experienced by flagship currencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum as they went through major price drops. For the uninitiated, The Merge is a much-awaited upgrade that is anticipated to be the largest milestone of the Ethereum network.

This week, The New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS) became America’s first regulator to issue regulatory guidance for dollar-backed stablecoins. The survey polled around 2,000 executives in sectors like cosmetics, digital goods, electronics, fashion, food & beverage, home/garden, hospitality, leisure, and transportation. Inflation in 2022 has so far been bad for Bitcoin, despite the longtime pitch that Bitcoin is a hedge against inflation. The crypto market couldn’t hold on to gains it made last week following eight consecutive weeks of decline. So, what's keeping the crypto market on ice? It trades for $28,733 at the time of writing.

Ethereum's developers announce another delay of the "difficulty bomb," a piece of code that gradually boots miners off the blockchain.

On the one hand, a failure after deployment would be catastrophic for the network. Regardless, Ryan said that he’d be “jumping for joy” if the code was deployed on the main Ethereum blockchain in its current state. But too much pressure pushes teams to burnout; that’s also a situation we don’t want to be in.” The delay of the difficulty bomb is a double-edged sword. Ethereum’s developers announce another delay of the “difficulty bomb,” a section of the consensus algorithm that eventually makes it impossible to mine Ethereum. Developers have already deployed the difficulty bomb and have delayed it previously.

At the moment, the ETH network can only process 15 to 45 transactions per second. ETH core developers agreed that the difficulty bomb pend for two to four months to grant them enough time for the migration to a PoS consensus. According to CoinMarketCap, ETH plunged to $1,544, with an 11% loss in the last 24 hours and a 10% loss in the last seven days. The bomb is to encourage miners to abandon proof-of-work (PoW). We say it won’t delay the Merge. I sincerely hope not. So we will push back the Ethereum difficulty bomb.

In fact, Bitgert BRC20 is the only zero gas fee chain in the industry, and not even Ethereum 2.0 will be able to go lower in gas fees like it. But how impactful will the Ethereum 2.0 be, and why is the Bitgert BRC20 chain unbothered? But Bitgert BRC20 blockchain is not bothered by the Ethereum 2.0 going live. Well, the reason why Ethereum Beacon Chain is creating a lot of attention is the promise of improving Ethereum chain speed and lowering the gas fee. The widely anticipated Ethereum 2.0 or the Beacon chain is now coming to live, and the Ethereum team is taking steps towards that. The Ethereum 2.0 went live on the testnet a few days ago, and the crypto community is very excited about it.

As ETH descends to the $1500 region, we learn of another delay in "the Merge," or the switch away from the processing intensive Proof of Work system.

Though Buterin also mentioned that the merge could be pushed back to September or October. Tim Beiko, who coordinates Ethereum developers, is worried about developer burnout from moving too fast. The misery of ETH holders worsened by reports suggesting the merge has been kicked further down the road. Ethereum (ETH) carries a valuation of $1,557 at the time of writing, down about 10% on the day and sitting at its lowest ebb for the last 15 months.

Similar to the USDT pair, the Ethereum coin with the Bitcoin pair is trading down 7.4% at 0.05469 satoshis. Similarly, the daily RSI is about to move into the highly oversold zone. Buyers will have to be patient for a bounce-back in Ethereum coin. Recently the bulls witnessed the latest low of 2022 as well as the 52-week low at $1545 mark, which would act as a short-term support level if the daily price candle closes above this level. Hence the bulls need to accumulate prices above this area as soon as possible. But still, a huge long unwinding may occur – if ETH price breaks below the $1500 area.

The number of total liquidations on a daily scale is close to $400 million, with ETH taking the majority of the share.

The total market cap is down by over $80 billion in a day to $1.150 trillion. Naturally, this has caused mass pain for some traders, as the ETH liquidated positions are over $200 million on a 24-hour scale. - Solana, Avalanche, Polkadot, and MATIC have lost close to 10% in a day.

The code will swiftly increase the computing difficulty of mining the underlying token.

Developers have uncovered a number of issues in the test so far. “But too much pressure pushes teams to burn out, that’s also a situation we don’t want to be in.” Though it went off this month, developers are planning to disable it and then deploy it again at another time.

If one entity gains majority control of the distributed ledger, it could interrupt the recording of new blocks. With more than 4 million Ether deposited through Lido, or 32% of the total amount of the token being staked, the concentration is raising red flags. If one entity gains majority control of the distributed ledger, it could interrupt the recording of new blocks. One entity holding a huge amount of Ether could raise security risks for the network, critics say. Under the system upgrade known as the Merge, so-called solo-staking requires setting up dedicated hardware and holding a minimum amount of 32 Ether, valued at about $54,000, based on current prices. With more than 4 million Ether deposited through Lido, or 32% of the total amount of the token being staked, the concentration is raising red flags.

ETH price rebounded by nearly 400% after RSI turned "oversold" last time.

But nevertheless, the risk of liquidations [is] a hell of a lot higher than it was three months ago." That dampened appetite for riskier assets, hurting stocks, Bitcoin ( BTC) and ETH. Suppose ETH logs an oversold bounce. Traditional analysts consider an asset to be excessively sold after its RSI reading fall below 30. Furthermore, they also see the drop as an opportunity to " buy the dip," believing an oversold signal would lead to a trend reversal. Ethereum's native token Ether ( ETH) entered its "oversold" territory this June 12, for the first time since November 2018, according to its weekly relative strength index (RSI).

However, if its price falls sharply, then holders may be forced to sell their stETH in the open market, leading to, may be, a bigger fall in prices of Ethereum and other cryptos. The platform allows users to access the value of their staked tokens while staking. In fact, in the morning today, ETH price was down by around 13 percent to $1460, its lowest this year. Lido Finance’s stETH is a derivative backed 1:1 by ETH. Users receive the staked derivative in return when they stake ETH on the Lido Finance platform. Theoretically, however, the stETH token in supposed to trade at a 1:1 peg to ETH. Ethereum crypto crash reason: A DeFi derivative version of Ethereum may be pushing the crypto markets down, reports suggest.

Ethereum is in dangerous position as lenders may face massive cascade of liquidations worth approximately $500 million.

More risks on Ethereum appeared after the depegging on the stETH to ETH pair caused by the massive sell-off and the lack of liquidity. The strong drop in the usage of decentralized applications will decrease the network's revenue. The issue is in the number of liquidations that will appear on the market if ETH falls below or to $1,150.

Other top 10 digital assets have shed over 50% of their ATH. The crypto industry has lost over $2 trillion of its market cap since November, 2021. promo.

Already, the market cap has shed about $2 trillion of its vault since it crossed the $3 trillion mark in November 2021. Since the UST crash, the price of Ethereum has been down by close to half, and weekly candles for the last 10 weeks have been red. Other top 10 digital assets by market cap equally have negative performance.

Ethereum core developers decided to delay the “difficulty bomb” for two months, which might mean a longer wait for The Merge.

Over an extended period, it becomes impossible for the validators to mine new transactions due to near-infinite block difficulty, forcing an end to proof-of-work on Ethereum. Ethereum is currently supported by validators (or miners) who use remote computers to solve complicated math problems in order to record and verify transactions—just like on the Bitcoin blockchain. An implementation of the merge dubbed went live on the Ropsten testnet earlier this past week.
