What the Ethereum Merge really means
At long last, the much-awaited Ethereum Merge is finally around the corner.
In what is regarded by some in the digital asset community as the most significant technological upgrade in the history of crypto and arguably the biggest event of the space in 2022, the Merge would officially mark the Ethereum network’s full transition from a Proof-of-Work (PoW) to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain.
Much has been said about what the Merge actually is, how Ethereum would look like post-Merge and when exactly it is scheduled to happen, but few have actually commented on what the Merge actually means to the ecosystem from a macro-finance level. In the latest episode of the HashKey Learn series, Henrique Centieiro (Senior Research Manager at HashKey Capital) describes post-Merge ETH as the “treasury bond of the Internet”.
Also, would gas prices really stay the same post-Merge like what everyone has been saying?
And will ETH holders immediately start dumping their ETH after the Merge, causing ETH’s price to crash?
We explain it all.
