What other statements have been made? Experts noted that Ethereum’s successful transition from the Proof of Work (PoW) consensus algorithm to Proof of Stake (PoS) will have a positive impact on sentiment in the cryptocurrency market. The Merge upgrade is expected to be released in September, with more precise dates to be known following the results of the Goerli testnet merger on August 11.

Another reason for the strengthening of the crypto market analysts called the limited spread of damage from the crash of the Terra blockchain ecosystem as a result of the collapse of the rates of its algorithmic stablecoin UST and the LUNA token.
