Ethereum miners dump 30K ETH, stonewalling ultra sound money deflation narrative

ETH/USD pang-araw-araw na tsart ng presyo. Pinagmulan: TradingViewEthereum remains inflationary  The Ether price drop on Sept. 15 also coincided with an increase in ETH supply, albeit not immediately post-Merge.  $ ETH is now Ultra Sound Money pic.twitter.com/fKz6VmoWdR  - DavidHoffman.eth (@TrustlessState) Septiyembre 15, 2022  Roughly 24 hours later, the supply change flipped positive once more, pouring cold water on the “ultra sound money” narrative due to a deflationary environment that some proponents expected post-Merge.  Pre-Merge, Ethereum distributed around 13,000 ETH per day to its proof-of-stake (PoW) miners and about 1,600 ETH to its PoS validators. But the rewards to miners bumaba after the Merge went live by roughly 90%.  Meanwhile, validators receiving Ether rewards now only make 10.6% of the previous amount. As a result, Ethers anual emissions have dropped by around 0.5%, making ETH less inflationary, and perhaps even deflationary under certain circumstances.  Still, the Ether supply has been rising at an anual rate of 0.2% after the Merge, ayon sa to data provided by Ultrasound Money.  Ether supply rate after the Merge.

Ethereum Price Still On The Decline, Can Buyers Defend This Price Level?

EthereumBumababa Pa rin ang Presyo ng Ethereum, Mapagtanggol ba ng mga Mamimili ang Antas ng Presyo na ito?09 / 21 / 2022Balita ng Ethereum ng Bitcoin  Ethereum price tried to rise on its daily chart at the time of writing.

Buying strength declined substantially, which has pushed the price of Ethereum closer to its immediate support line.  If buyers do not defend the closest support line, then Ethereum could head for a further decline on its one day chart.  For the bearish thesis to be invalidated, ETH has to hop past several resistances. Selling dominance can further push the altcoin down.  With the price of major market mover Bitcoin declining on its respective chart, most altcoins have followed suit.  ETH has to move past the $2000 price level for the bearish thesis to be invalidated.

ETHs correlation to the Nasdaq creates problems for crypto-native traders

crypto EthereumAng ugnayan ng ETH sa Nasdaq ay lumilikha ng mga problema para sa mga crypto-native na mangangalakal09 / 21 / 2022Balita ng Ethereum ng Bitcoin  Correlation between ether (ETH) and the Nasdaq composite is closing in on highs reached in May of this year, affecting crypto-native traders.  The high correlation between ether and the Nasdaq has made it harder for crypto-native participants to utilize their edge — a deep understanding of on-chain dynamics — according to Cumberlands Jonah Van Bourg.  Van Bourg went on to note in a Twitter thread on Tuesday that many of these crypto-specific traders have a tendency to trade in U.S. dollars rather than using crypto-to-crypto pairs.  “A vestige, perhaps, of the days when digital assets were wholly decorrelated from the broader world of low-vol post-GFC finance,” Van Bourg said, alluding to the period following the global financial crash in 2008.  Disconecting from this could be crucial to surviving the crypto winter, he said. Specifically, Van Bourg was pointing to ETH/BTC, which is trading at local lows at present but could be set to grind higher, similar to what happened following two of the last three bitcoin block reward reductions.  Van Bourg noted the hot inflation data last week in his

Ethereum Layer 3 Protocols Might Be A Thing, Here’s What To Expect

EthereumEthereum Layer 3 Protocols Might Be A Thing, Heres What To Expect09 / 20 / 2022Balita ng Ethereum ng Bitcoin  With the completion of the Ethereum Merge, founder Vitalik Buterin has turned his attention to other things that could help improve the network. Ethereum Layer 2 protocols had been big business back in the bull market of 2021, and even now, they continue to gather support from network users who continue to use these roll-ups. Now, Buterin has pointed to the possibility of Layer 3 protocols on the network. Heres what he expects them to do.  Ethereum Layer 3 Protocols  In a post, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin delves into the idea of Layer 3 protocols that have been circling the space now. At first, the idea started that with the functionality of the existing Layer 2 protocols, it was possible to build on them to provide even more scalability. Buterin refutes this in his post: “Unfortunately, such simple conceptions of layer 3s rarely quite work out that easily.” So what then can make a successful Layer 3 protocol?  The bottleneck comes from the data that needs to be stored on the blockchain as transactions are processed. Layer 2s already do a good job of

Ethereum Proof Of Work (ETHW) Gains 30%, Is More Upside Coming?

EthereumAng Ethereum Proof Of Work (ETHW) ay Nakakuha ng 30%, Mas Higit Pa Ba ang Papasok?09 / 20 / 2022Balita ng Ethereum ng Bitcoin  The Ethereum Proof of Work (ETHW) token had piggybacked off the popularity of the Ethereum Merge. In a bid to maintain the network in its original mechanism, developers had forked the Ethereum network,  creating their own token in the process. The ETHW had been launched after the Merge was completed and was airdropped to ETH holders. The digital asset then suffered massive declines just days after launch.  Ethereum Proof Of Work Recovers  The Ethereum Proof of Work (ETHW) token distribution had been ongoing for days after the Merge. The reason for this was exchanges needed more time to distribute the tokens to their customers who currently hold ETH on their balances. Binance was the most recent crypto exchange to complete its distribution, giving the digital asset a much-needed boost.  It was in the early hours of Tuesday when the largest crypto exchange in the world had completed its ETHW distribution. The crypto exchange had also opened deposits and withdrawals for the cryptocurrency, promptly increasing the demand for ETHW.  Following this, the price of ETHW had added more than 30% to its value

What Prevents Large Validators From Taking Over Ethereum?

ETH Staking Market Share. Source: @hildobby  This high concentration of staking power has raised concerns that Ethereum may be vulnerable to 51% na pag-atake—a term used in the crypto space to designate a hostile takeover of a blockchain by an entity (or group of entities) in control of the majority of block processing power. In other words, the worry is that large staking entities could collude to rewrite parts of Ethereums blockchain, change the ordering of new transactions, or censor specific blocks.  The possibility of a 51% attack became particularly salient after the U.S. government‘s ban on Tornado Cash. Noong Agosto 8, ang US Treasury Department idinagdag privacy protocol Tornado Cash to its sanctions list, arguing cybercriminals used the crypto project for money-laundering purposes. Coinbase, Kraken, Circle, and other centralized entities quickly complied with the sanctions and blacklisted Ethereum addresses associated with Tornado Cash. So what would prevent these companies from using their staking power to censor transactions on Ethereum’s base layer if the Treasury ordered them to?

Ethereum: Assessing every nook and cranny of PoS network since merge

Pinagmulan: Glassnode  Further, as mentioned above, the PoS chains validators are grouped into committees and block proposers for each 32-slot Epoch.  Each Epoch has up to 64 committees of at least 128 validators algorithmically selected per slot for block production and attestation.  Ayon sa glassnode, there is a validator chosen to propose a block for each slot while others cast “attestation votes.” This refers to the number of “yes” votes cast by these validators.  Prior to the merge, there was a drop in attestation count on the network, Glassnode found. However, since the merge, it has recovered back to its expected range.  Pinagmulan: Glassnode  Ayon sa glassnode, there were 430,181 active validators on the PoS network at press time. Validators on the chain continue to grow.  Over 11,360 validators joined in September alone signifies “growing investor confidence as the technical challenges of the Merge are de-risked.”  Pinagmulan: Glassnode  These validators have staked over 14.586M ETH in the PoS chain.
