Amidst a market decline, some investors may worry whether they’ve lost out on the opportunity to invest in Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and other cryptocurrencies as more and more institutional investors buy-in. The Ethereum team has ambitious intentions to lower the energy required for crypto mining. By transitioning from PoW to PoS consensus, the business expects to reduce Ether mining’s huge energy consumption by 99.95%—developers call this ‘The Merge.’
Despite certain financial markets being closed for the holiday weekend, Ethereum was still trading at its support level of $3,000 on Good Friday. Consequently, volatility has decreased marginally, with BTC trading around its floor of $40,000 at the time of writing.
