Ethereum Classic was born at a high of 1,920,001 ETH block, reaping benefits from the date of the inline merger, and over the past two weeks it is up 51.2%, and ETC has jumped 148.5% over the last 30 days.

Bitmex Research: “The chain is likely to extend beyond the consolidation point, however, whether or not this chain has any economic significance is an open question”
Moreover, on August 1, Bitmex Research published a blog post titled “ETHPoW vs ETH2,” which examines a hypothetical discussion of two potential Ethereum networks. The blog post, written by Bitmex Research, concludes, “While the ETHPoW chain may face many technical challenges and its long-term viability is called into question, its existence may present an exciting opportunity for traders and speculators in the short to medium term.”
In addition to Poloniex, Huobi Global plans to list any potential forks created when the merger occurred. Huobi said Friday that it will distribute the forked assets if it meets specific requirements. When Poloniex releases the “forked potential” token markets next week, it will be interesting to see what traders and speculators will appreciate for the ETHW token. It is entirely possible that the futures markets will overshadow the recent ETC gains.
What do you think about the possibility of an ETHW chain decoupling from Ethereum when the chain moves to PoS? Tell us your thoughts on this topic in the comments section below.
