The price of ETC rallied to $27.5 on July 23, gaining 100% in nine days after bottoming at $13.35. In comparison, the price of ETH has seen a 64% increase in USD terms.
Dubbed “The Merge,” the long-awaited technical update will move Ethereum from proof-of-work (PoW) to proof-of-stake (PoS).
Ethereum’s rally has been among the strongest among the top cryptocurrencies, mainly due to the excitement surrounding its potential September network upgrade.
Therefore, the move to PoS could force existing Ethereum miners to switch to the ETC chain.
It should come as no surprise that Ethereum Classic is the closest Ethereum in terms of network design and compatibility, as Ethereum Classic is the successor chain that forked from Ethereum after a controversial hard fork in July 2016.
As a result, speculators predict that Ethereum Classic will become the first choice for miners to switch from Ethereum, which could be one of the main reasons for the recent increase in ETC price.
