BITCOIN MINERS WIN LESS THAN ETHEREUM MINERS ON RATES
Glassnode Data Analysis Startup reveals that Ethereum (ETH) miners received $ 498,000 in fees and Bitcoin (BTC) miners $ 308,000.
Increase in rates on the Ethereum network corresponds to an increase in on-chain activity.
Data analysis startup Glassnode revealed that Ethereum (ETH) miners 'earnings outpaced Bitcoin (BTC) miners' earnings by nearly $ 200,000. Ethereum miners, Glassnode noted, received $ 498,000 in fees, but Bitcoin (BTC) miners received $ 308,000.
Ethereum network daily rates exceeded Bitcoin's rates yesterday. $ 498,000 versus $ 308,000. So far, this has only happened in 141 days (8%),
On the other hand, it can be seen that there has been a significant increase in the rates that Bitcoin miners have received after halving. As the rewards were reduced, the transaction fees were increased to their annual maximum of $ 1,750 thousand and thus the miners were able to maintain profitability. Rates have been falling as the Bitcoin network recovers. An increase in its hashrate has occurred and is approaching pre-halving levels with 126EH / s, at the time of publication. The introduction of new mining models and the reduction of difficulty have also contributed to this drop in rates.
. The last time Ethereum miners reported higher profits than Bitcoin miners in 2020, it was in March when the network registered congestion when cryptocurrency prices plummeted.
EX GOVERNOR OF THE BANK OF CHINA does not believe that Bitcoin (BTC) can replace the fiat currency.
Wu Xiaoling, a former deputy governor of the People's Bank of China, hailed Bitcoin as a commercial success but said it has a central flaw.
Xiaoling predicts that there will be more adoption of digital currencies in the future, but does not believe that Bitcoin (BTC) can replace the fiat currency.
Xiaoling said that Bitcoin (BTC) is the most commercially successful product of blockchain technology. However, Xiaoling also highlighted its limitations and said that it believes that Bitcoin is limited to being a private currency. In addition, he noted that BTC's high price volatility will prevent it from replacing fiat currencies.
Xiaoling believes that authorities in sovereign countries will not officially recognize Bitcoin as a currency. The former governor of the People's Bank of China believes that Bitcoin will be more likely to remain as a digital asset. In this sense, Xiaoling also opined that digital currencies and assets will have greater adoption and will be integrated into social behavior. But for that there must be financial service activities that support Bitcoin and other digital currencies, according to Xiaoling.
Finally, the former governor of the People's Bank of China highlighted that there is a legal framework that Bitcoin must follow. Innovation, in Xiaoling's opinion, does not have to be a disruptive element that "disrupts the laws." The former governor added.
In the future, the digital currency will become increasingly integrated into social behavior, and we must have a prudent and objective understanding of it.
As CNF has reported, last year it was thought that China would open up to the use of cryptocurrencies. However, the Asian giant only marked the path it would take to announce the development of its digital Yuan. A representative from the Bank of China said it will not be like Bitcoin because it cannot be used to speculate and its value will be subject to a basket of currencies.
ETHEREUM 2.0 CLOSE AND ALREADY THERE ARE 120,000 STAKING PORTFOLIO READY
The number of Ethereum wallets with 32 or more ETH has reached a record high in anticipation of the launch of Phase 0 of Ethereum 2.0.
On the ETH / BTC chart, Ethereum is about to form a 'golden cross', which could precede a significant rise in the price of ETH.
Bullish voices surrounding the launch of Ethereum 2.0 have been on the rise in recent weeks. There's a good chance this isn't just a pre-launch hype that will sell later ("buy the rumors, sell the news"). At least that's what the latest figures from Arcane Research suggest. As the review company explained in a tweet published yesterday, the number of Ethereum wallets, which hold 32 or more ETH, is approaching the 120,000 wallet mark.
Under current phase 0 requirements, staking nodes, which will replace Proof of Work (PoW) miners, must have at least 32 ETHs permanently to validate transactions in the Proof of Stake blockchain ( PoS). In this sense, Arcane Research states:
Thus, the statistics presented by Arcane Research indicate a trend towards a massive accumulation of Ether (ETH) in order to operate a validation node and benefit from the rewards of staking. These depend on the amount of ETH wagered and are initially estimated at an annual return of between 5 and 10%, provided that between 3 and 10 million ETH were wagered.
Experts also expect the number of ETHs wagered to continue to increase over time, so the accumulation trend could continue not only before the release of Ethereum 2.0, but also afterward. This would cause a significant shortage of outstanding ETH, which in turn could trigger a considerable price increase.
Data from @nansen_ai shows that almost 120,000 Ethereum wallets are ready to be staked. This number has grown by 13% in the last year
