Over the past day, many altcoins have seen declines, especially the leading altcoin Ethereum (ETH). The Ethereum price collapse deepened as ETH slipped below $1,800. Here are the details and price movements of other altcoins…
The sharp decline in Ethereum and other altcoins: What happened?
At the time of writing, ETH is on the agenda with a 8.52 percent drop. The aforementioned decline appears to have arisen due to concerns over the stability of ETH’s upcoming “merger” (Ethereum 2.0) update. On the other hand, the gas fee on the ETH network dropped to $2.54 earlier this week. According to Santiment, the on-chain data-providing platform, the low fees for ETH are due to low network activity, stagnation and fear. Apart from
ETH, altcoins in other Blockchain networks in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space are also experiencing a deep correction. According to the latest Bloomberg report, the Terra crash has caused DeFi players to be extremely cautious. As we reported on Kriptokoin.com , the impact of the collapse of Terra, a blockchain ecosystem supporting one of the biggest experiments in decentralized finance, plunged an already bearish market into a wild fall this month.
