 MARKET UPDATE=20

Crypto market rallies as Ethereum=E2=80=99s =E2=80=98merge=E2=80=99 upgrade=
 approaches final stages

After several weeks of painful headlines, crypto markets saw some relief to=
=20
start the week. Crypto=E2=80=99s total market cap retook the$1 trillion mar=
k=20
<https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/> for the first time since mid-June, whil=
e=20
Bitcoin rose above 7% to a monthly high of $23,536 on Tuesday. But the bigg=
est=20
momentum driver was Ethereum, which spiked more than 20% to a high of $1,63=
1 on=20
Monday (up nearly 60% from this time last month).

The ETH rally began last Friday after Ethereum developers agreed to an upda=
ted=20
September timeline=20
<https://fortune.com/2022/07/18/ethereum-ether-crypto-rally-merge/> for the=
=20
blockchain=E2=80=99s long-awaited =E2=80=9Cmerge=E2=80=9D upgrade, which wi=

system. The merge is a complex, multi-year technological feat that's seen m=
any=20

 * Proof of work=20
<https://www.coinbase.com/learn/crypto-basics/what-is-proof-of-work-or-proo=

 is the original crypto =E2=80=9Cconsensus mechanism,=E2=80=9D beginning wi=
th Bitcoin.It allows=20
many computers across a decentralized network to verify transactions =E2=80=

ount=20
of computer power from virtual =E2=80=9Cminers=E2=80=9D around the world, w=
ho compete to solve=20
a time-consuming math puzzle. The winner gets to update the blockchain with=
 the=20
latest block of verified transactions, and is rewarded with a predetermined=
=20
amount of new ETH.=20

are designed to be faster, less resource-intensive, and theoretically more=

secure. Instead of requiring energy-intensive mining, proof-of-stake networ=

rely on =E2=80=9Cvalidators=E2=80=9D that contribute their own ETH as colla=

earn newly minted tokens. (Learn aboutstaking <https://www.coinbase.com/sta=
