Traders will soon be able to speculate on the future price of a forked Ethereum coin, even though it may never exist.
In advance of Ethereum’s merge event—a move which will see the whole network shift to proof of stakeproof of stake—crypto exchange BitMEX is launching a Tether-margined (USDT ERC-20) futures contract for ETHPOW, the cryptocurrency that could result from an attempt to resist the merge.
Chandler Guo, an influential Ethereum miner, launched a campaign late last month in opposition to the merge event, with a plan to force a hard fork in the network.
ConsenSys CEO Joe Lubin talked about Ethereum 2.0 timing and impact, the power of DAOs, and gave his honest take on NFTs, Solana, Polygon, and Biden's crypto executive order in an extensive fireside chat with Decrypt's Dan Roberts at Camp Ethereal 2022 in Wyoming.
If successful, the resulting spin-off network would be called ETHW and its token would be ETHPOW.
Although it is not yet certain that merge resistors will succeed, BitMEX wants to offer customers a way to trade on the price of ETHPoW and is launching the contract ETHPOWZ22 tomorrow.
Ever since a prominent Chinese Ethereum miner announced his intention to resist the upcoming Ethereum merge and create a new, parallel network and cryptocurrency, the idea has begun to gain some traction. But how far can it really go? The miner, Chandler Guo, launched a campaign last week to draw opposition to the merge—the network’s imminent and much-anticipated transition to Ethereum 2.0 and proof of stake. Guo plans to hard fork the Ethereum network once it transitions to proof of stake next...
BitMEX warned that the product was “highly speculative,” due to the fact that ETHPOW does not yet exist and may never exist. There is also a higher possibility of auto-deleveraging, which exchanges use when a position is closed in negative equity, and the insurance fund is unable to cover the losses.
🚨This just in 🚨
A brand new ETHPOW futures contract is dropping on BitMEX tomorrow:$ETHPOW $USDT

— BitMEX (@BitMEX) August 8, 2022
The contract supports up to 2x leverage, and will at least initially operate on the “Last Price” mark method. This may eventually be changed to the more generally used “Fair Price” method when there is enough information to create an index.
Earlier this month, BitMEX researchers wrote a blog post that concluded that ETHPOW “may have many technical challenges and its long term viability is in question” but that “its existence may provide an exciting opportunity for traders and speculators in the short to medium term.”
Traders will have to wait another month to see how the split turns out, with Ethereum’s merge currently expected on September 19.

Stablecoin issuer Tether is ending its USDT support for five blockchains effective on September 1, the company announced on Friday, ending redemptions and freezing the remaining assets on those blockchains. Last June, the firm ended its minting function on Algorand and EOS (now called Vaulta), meaning it would no longer issue new stablecoins on those chains. In 2023, it announced the same for Bitcoin Cash, Kusama, and Omni Layer Protocol. Now, Tether has put a hard end date on its stablecoin s...
Solana token launchpad Pump.fun is prepping for its initial coin offering, aka ICO, on Saturday, July 12. With U.S. and UK citizens banned from participating, traders are eagerly awaiting its full launch to purchase PUMP—but will it pump or dump once it starts trading? The token is set to go on sale via six centralized exchanges (Bybit, Kraken, Bitget, MEXC, KuCoin, and Gate.io) as well as the Pump.fun website Saturday, with 150 billion tokens up for grabs at $0.004 each. Within 48 to 72 hours a...
U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds pulled in over $1.17 billion on Thursday, notching their second-highest day of inflows ever as institutional capital flooded into digital assets. The massive inflows to Bitcoin ETFs were led by BlackRock's IBIT with $448.5 million, followed by Fidelity's FBTC at $324.3 million and ARK's ARKB with $268.7 million, according to Farside Investors data. Even with $40.2 million in outflows from Grayscale’s GBTC, total net flows turned sharply positive. The infl...
