As of November 1, the top 10 investors own 23,7 million ETH (about $37,78 billion at the Binance rate on November 1, 13:25 UTC). Exchange addresses own only 8,7 million ETH (~$13,87 billion).
The number of new smart contracts on the Ethereum network increased to a 16-month high since October 9. Earlier such activity was observed only in July 2021. At the time of writing, ETH is trading at $1594, down by 1,8% per day.
What is known about The Merge? On September 15, at 06:45 UTC, the Ethereum network switched from the Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus algorithm to Proof-of-Stake (PoS). The method of earning ETH changed from mining to staking, network management shifted from miners to validators, and the asset became deflationary.
