Ethereum maximalists are already calling this the biggest event in crypto this year. They believe this will pave the path towards ‘the flippening’ – when Ethereum overtakes Bitcoin as the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalisation. September is here, and the Merge is just weeks away. Let’s understand the event in detail and prophesize what’s ahead. What is the Merge?The Merge is the transition of Ethereum (ETH) blockchain to the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. This shift was planned at the inception of the blockchain in 2014 itself. PoS is energy-efficient, and the Merge will instantly cut 99 per cent of Ethereum’s carbon emissions, according to the Ethereum Foundation. This will make ETH a strong candidate for institutional investors like Tesla who have stayed away from Bitcoin (BTC) on concerns about its energy use. It will also have implications on the tokenomics of ETH. The Merge will result in a 90 per cent net drop in the annual issuance of ETH. This means that, over time, ETH’s supply will remain stable (or even decrease; making ETH deflationary) giving a fillip to its investors. All retail investors will also be able to stake their ETH for passive rewards once the Merge is successful.

Bitcoin holding above the key psychological level of $20,000. The asset class seems increasingly likely to remain in the same price rut until the release of inflation numbers later this month and Federal Reserve's meeting outcome, said analysts. Barring Tron and US dollar-pegged Tether, all other tokens were trading higher on Friday. Polygon zoomed over 5 per cent, whereas Polkadot gained 3 per cent. Ethereum and Cardano gained more than 2 per cent each. The global cryptocurrency market cap was trading higher at the $990.26 billion mark, dropping more than a per cent in the last 24 hours. However, the total trading volume dropped about 8 per cent to $62.76 billion.
