Ethereum (ETH) continues to show downtrend since August, today, sept 9th, Ethereum reach its peak with price below $200 and lowest price in this year. Quoted from Ethereum news site, ethereumworldnews.com, there are several factors that cause ETH price drop in crypto markets.
ICO’s Dumping ETH in the Markets
The Ethereum HODLers in the crypto community are concerned that ETH will continue falling to levels well below $200.The last time ETH went below this levels was back in mid September when it was valued briefly at $195.
With the constant rumors that ICOs are selling the ETH they raised last year and early this year to avoid further losses, the concern still lingers of the possibility of the digital asset continuing to depreciate in value. Although this claims have not been confirmed, the theory is plausible given the tonnes of crypto that was poured into ICOs from late last year to date.
A Call for a New Ethereum Network
This then leads to a new discussion that the Ethereum network needs to evolve with the times or risk being obsolete as more efficient networks are created. These include the likes of Tron (TRX), Zilliqa (ZIL) and Neo (NEO). Of particular concern are the security vulnerabilities in Ethereum smart contracts as well as the network having congestion issues that need to be solved by increasing its throughput.
