Ethereum Price Predictions: Will the ETH Crypto Go Back Up?
(CTN News) – Ethereum (ETH-USD) fell 16% to $1,237 this morning due in part to a potential delay in the rules governing ETH’s mining. Analysts are forecasting a wide range of Ethereum prices.
Changes to ETH’s mining algorithm, which would reduce the number of miners, are being postponed, Bloomberg reported. Plans to switch Ethereum to a greener, “protocol based on stake” from its current “proof-of-work” standard in August remain on track, the news service reported, citing “developers.”
Worries about interest rate hikes amid high inflation are also contributing to ETH’s decline.
