Binance's BNB Token Hits All-Time High as Bitcoin and Ethereum Alts Swell

Binance’s native token (BNB) jumped to record highs on Wednesday amid a broader crypto market uplift that saw a resurgence in long-time altcoins affiliated with Ethereum and Bitcoin.

What Is an Investment DAO?

Over the past few years, Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) have become commonplace in cryptocurrency. Whether you discovered crypto through meme coins, NFTs, or DeFi, chances are you’ve interacted with a DAO somehow. DAOs are organizational structures for businesses or communities where control is spread via the distribution of tokens rather than hierarchy. They’re typically online communities focused on a specific goal. DAOs take many forms; some are light-hearted, like a group of s...

Ethereum Classic Plummets 23% Over Post-Merge Week

As the crypto bear market continues to pull the price of digital assets lower, Ethereum Classic and Ravencoin, both potential post-merge havens for proof-of-work miners, are seeing double-digit losses. The price of Ethereum Classic has fallen 23.4% in the week following the merge. The proof-of-work hardfork of the now proof-of-stake Ethereum saw the price of its coin drop from $38.93 on September 15, 2022, the day of the merge, to $29.39 today, according to data from CoinGecko.

Ethereum Classic, Ravencoin, and Ergo Hash Rate Soar Post-Merge

After Ethereum’s successful merge, miners began switching their rigs to other blockchains. Ethereum Classic (ETC), a hard fork of Ethereum executed following the 2016 DAO hack, saw its network hash jump nearly 300% from 66.54 terra hashes per second (TH/s) last night to 265.43 TH/s today, per data from 2miners. The tremendous increase in hash rate can likely be attributed to the Ethereum merge earlier today.  Hash rate of ETH over the past 24 hours. Source: 2miners. After the merge, Ethereum no...

Ethereum Classic Hash Rate Soars as Merge Nears and Miners Roam

As Ethereum’s long-awaited upgrade nears, miners appear to be switching their rigs over to Ethereum Classic.  Ethereum is set to end mining on its network tonight following the merge, which transitions the network to proof of stake. Meanwhile, the “original” Ethereum chain—Ethereum Classic, which forked back in 2016—has hit an all-time high hash rate of 65.49 terahashes per second (TH/s), according to 2miners.com data.  Hash rate refers to the computational power used to mine a cryptocurrency.

Miners Eye Ethereum Classic Activity as Merge Nears

Holders of Ethereum Classic (ETC) are cautiously watching the mining activity of its blockchain, as the approaching merge of Ethereum (ETH) and its transition to the proof-of-stake consensus mechanism puts more attention on the six-year-old cryptocurrency. The drastic jump in activity may signal a shift in focus for cryptocurrency miners. It could also reduce the risks of a so-called "51% attack" on ETC, which have been levied against the blockchain in the past. The hash rate of the Ethereum Cla...

Prominent Chinese Ethereum Miner Wants to Resist Merge, Create Fork

As Ethereum takes its final steps toward the merge—the network’s much-hyped move to proof of stake—an influential crypto miner is looking to create a movement to resist that transition. Chandler Guo, a well-known Chinese crypto miner, has launched a campaign to fork the Ethereum blockchain and create a spinoff, proof-of-work version, according to a Twitter post last week.

Ethereum Classic Jumps Double Digits After Antpool Adds $10M Backing
