Bleeding on Ethereum
Ethereum was selling for 1848.46 in February 2021 and found a glorious way to reach $ 4079.06 in May 2021. And last November Ether went hiking and achieved an all-time high of $ 4,812.09. After all this glory again it started entering the bearish market. In January Ether dipped to $3,766.82 and today it lost 52% ($2,332.97) from its all-time high as per CoinMarketCap (CMC).
Also, the situation was similar in traditional markets with the S&P 500 (SPX) index in the United States falling 3.2 % to its lowest level in over a year.
Ethereum isn’t just a payment cryptocurrency much like Bitcoin. Users can create decentralized applications (dApp) with the help of smart contracts. And “The Merge”, an attempt to shift the proof-of-work to proof-of-stake is likely to happen in the coming months.
