PoW Tokens Take A Hit: Ravencoin and Ethereum Classic Crash Over 20%
September 23 2022 - 1:11PM
NEWSBTC
Ravencoin (RVN) and Ethereum Classic (ETC) were operated as a safe
haven for miners seeking shelter from “The Merge” fallout. The
event that completed Ethereum’s transition to Proof-of-Stake (PoS),
“The Merge” locked out miners from the ecosystem. Related Reading:

Leading into the event, Ravencoin, Ethereum Classic, and other
Proof-of-Work (PoW) cryptocurrencies were recording double-digit
gains. The new participants onboarding the networks drove their
hashrate to new highs, and their price followed as demand for PoW
tokens followed. However, as more miners flocked into these
networks, it became more difficult to obtain rewards. In that
sense, and with “The Merge” out of the way, miners might be seeking
new alternatives to carry on with their operations and maximize
their gains. At the time of writing, Ravecoin and Ethereum Classic
traded at $0.03 and $28, respectively. The cryptocurrencies record
a 30% loss for RVN and a 22% loss for ETC over the past week. The
tokens gave back a large portion of the gains obtained in previous
weeks. Ravencoin (RVN) And Ethereum Classic (ETC) Might Be Losing
Market Share As the price of Ravencoin and Ethereum Classic trend
to the downside, their hashrate trend lower which hinted at the
current bearish price action. Miners that were prompting the value
of these cryptocurrencies seem to be existing or diversifying their
participation across multiple networks. Data from CoinWars shows a
decrease in the hashrate for Ethereum Classic and Ravencoin. The
former has seen a steadier decline in hashrate since September
17th, two days after “The Merge”. As seen below, ETC’s hashrate
reached a high of 210 terahash/s (TH/s) and an all-time high of 220
TH/s before trending lower. Over the same period, ETC’s price
recorded massive losses, as mentioned. Ravencoin hashrate saw
sideways movement after an aggressive push to the upside. The
network saw an all-time high of 20 TH/s before starting a descend
into its current levels at around 15 TH/s. Both cryptocurrencies
might experience losses if their network’s hashrate sustains their
current momentum. Where Are Ravencoin And Ethereum Classic’s
Hashrates Fleeing? As computer power leaves Ravencoin and other PoW
cryptocurrencies, it must be finding new networks to increase the
miners’ chances of obtaining rewards. Data from Coingecko indicates
that a couple of PoW tokens have benefited from this crash in price
and hashrate from RVN and ETC. Related Reading: Ravencoin (RVN)
