Despite ether's recent price action, the network has been thriving since the "merge" – and could just be getting started. Still, market participants are seeing and feeling the success of the Ethereum merge. Here's how Ethereum is doing on some of its post-merge goals: Yields Ether's staking reward reference rate was 5.854% per annum on Sept. 15, 2022, according to Ethereum data provider Beaconchain. The percentage of ether supply being staked has risen from 11.99% on Sept. 15, 2022, to 20.46% on Aug. 30 of this year. Burning fees and decreasing supply Ethereum has a mechanism programmed in to regulate the network's notoriously high transaction fees, called gas fees, by "burning" them.

☆ Bitcoin had a big drop late last week. Here's what sparked it, and why that volatility can persist
  + stars: | 2023-08-20 | by ( Tanaya Macheel | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +4 min
Bitcoin's back to its volatile ways after its big move down late last week — but not for the reason investors expected. Aside from the mismanaged crypto lenders (and FTX) that plagued the crypto market in 2022, the Federal Reserve's inflation-fighting rate hiking campaign played a big part in bitcoin's downward price pressure. "The volatility will have a persistence if we're going to stay here at an elevated real rate environment," he told CNBC. Even if the Fed doesn't raise interest rates anymore, the crypto space seems more focused now on real rates and keeping them elevated to fight inflation. Having institutions with an established long core holding would act as a stabilizing force for Bitcoin, Connors added.

☆ Ether has been climbing ahead of its planned 'Shanghai' tech upgrade. Here's what the event could mean for crypto investors
  + stars: | 2023-04-09 | by ( Tanaya Macheel | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +5 min
Ether rose last week as investors looked ahead to the Ethereum network's next big tech upgrade. "And greater participation in ETH staking strengthens the security of the Ethereum network as a whole." Data from CryptoQuant suggests any sell pressure would be low, however. Currently, however, the majority of the ETH staked (54%, or 9.7 million ETH) is currently at a loss, the firm said. "Given there's a limited amount of participants that can exit in a day, this sell pressure will not be as instant or violent as advertised by some commentators," he said.

But it also gave the fine wine and crypto industry a big boost as panicking investors rushed out of the financial sector and into alternative assets. Bittersweet banking: SVB lent over $4 billion to winery clients since 1994, with over 400 wine industry clients (including wineries, vineyards and vendors) working with the bank’s premium wine division, according to the bank’s website. Recent SEC filings, meanwhile, indicated SVB had about $1.2 billion in outstanding loans to high-end wine clients when the bank collapsed. Circle, the company behind popular stablecoin USDC, said it had about $3.3 billion of its $40 billion in reserves at SVB. The collapse of Signature Bank, a major crypto lender, also had serious implications for the industry.
