Ethereum (ETH-USD) price predictions are on the minds of investors today as they prepare for the upcoming Merge this week.
The Ethereum merge will see the blockchain switch from its current proof-of-work concept. Replacing that will be a proof-of-stake concept. This will change how transactions are handled and could benefit the crypto.
First off, miners won’t be handling transactions anymore with the proof-of-work concept gone. While that may seem like a negative, the change is expected to massively increase the speed of transactions. Adding to that, traders will likely see reduced gas fees when trading the crypto.
This news has many investors excited about the future of Ethereum. So much so that even Google is tracking the merge event with a countdown clock. The Merge is set to take place on Thursday, by the way.
With that news covered, let’s get into the latest price predictions for ETH below!
