Lowered Selling Forces
Before the merge, miners of ETH sold off their assets to pay for their experiences, likewise miners of BTC too. However ever since Ethereum migrated to POS (Proof-of-Stake) in September, there has been a significant reduction in selling pressure.
Also, another area of Ethereum’s pull is its lowered issuance. A report revealed that Ethereum issuance reduced by 14,000 Ethereum coins in a day and nearly 5 million lesser in a year. Additionally, the Ethereum merge lowered the crypto’s power usage by 99%, and this has made the crypto to be more attractive to Environmental Conscious Cooperate institutions.
The information provided by Digieconomist ETH power usage index, the power usage reduced from nearly 84 TW/h per year before the Merge to 0.01 TW/h now.
