Crypto markets anticipate ETH forks heading into Merge
Ethereum price has been at the center of speculation for quite some time due to the upcoming Merge update. As a result, there have been forecasts of what the future could hold, not just for users, but also from a miners’ perspective.
Some predict that the ETH main chain might undergo a split, where one chain retains the Proof-of-Work (PoW) hashing algorithm and the other proceeds with the Proof-of-Stake (PoS). The most recent update includes the listing of ETH PoW blockchain on exchanges. The ETHW ticker, owned by Justin Sun, is a PoW fork that has been listed on the Poloniex exchange.
