oben 10 PoW-Dominanz verflüchtigt sich 9 Jahre später, Nach der Fusion bleiben nur zwei Proof-of-Work-Münzen übrig

Die Krypto-Community wartet geduldig auf das mit Spannung erwartete Ethereum-Netzwerk-Upgrade von Proof-of-Work (PoW) zum Proof-of-Stake (Schild) wie The Merge erwartet wird 27 Tage ab jetzt. Nach dem Übergang von Ethereum von PoW zu PoS, only two crypto assets in the top ten market cap rankings will be PoW tokens, which is a stark contrast to the top ten nine years ago.

The PoS Age Begins: Proof-of-Work Crypto Assets Disappear From Top Ten Market Cap Standings

Dieses Jahr, for the first time in crypto history, three stablecoins entered the top ten largest market cap positions. During the first week of May, Terra’s stablecoin UST made it into the top ten alongside USDT and USDC, but after UST’s depegging incident, the token fell from the top ten coin rankings. Nach UST’s implosion, the Binance Smart Chain-issued BUSD stablecoin joined the top coins by valuation and today, three stablecoins remain in the top ten.

That wasn’t the case nine years ago, on August 18, 2013, as there were no stablecoins in the top ten, because the stablecoin trend was not prevalent at all back then. In 27 Tage, Ethereum will change from PoW to PoS after operating as a PoW chain for seven years, and when that happens, only two coins in the top ten will be PoW tokens. The last standing top two PoW crypto tokens in the top ten will be bitcoin (BTC) und Dogecoins (DOGE). This trend was also not prevalent nine years ago in 2013, when the top ten crypto tokens were mostly PoW coins.

Im August 18, 2013, Bitcoin (BTC) was changing hands for $113 per unit and ethereum was nonexistent. In der Tat, the Ethereum blockchain did not launch for another 711 days after August 18, 2013, und Litecoin (LTC) was the second-largest crypto token by market cap. Proof-of-stake crypto assets were conceptualized at the time, and in 2013 there were a number of hybrid proof-of-work and proof-of-stake tokens with Peercoin (PPC) leading the charge. PPC was the first hybrid PoW/PoS blockchain introduced to the crypto community, and it was created by the pseudonymous developer Sonniger König.

Nine years ago, the PoW and hybrid PoW coins in the top ten included bitcoin (BTC), Litecoin (LTC), namecoin (NMC), Peercoin (PPC), feathercoin (FTC), novacoin (NVC), primecoin (XPM), terracoin (TRC), and infinitecoin (IFC). At that time in 2013, the only non-PoW coin in the top ten standings was XRP, und XRP is still in the top ten crypto market cap rankings in 2022. Close to seven years ago on August 23, 2015, there were fewer PoW coins in the top ten, even with ethereum (ETH) joining the ranks as a PoW coin.

At that time, only six PoW coins existed in the top ten, einschließlich BTC, LTC, ETH, DASH, DOGE, and BCN. At the time in 2015, hybrid PoW/PoS coins were pushed down in value and pure PoS networks started to become more prevalent. On August 23, 2015, banx shares (BANX) und bitshares (BTS) were among the most valuable PoS assets. BTS still exists and is worth $0.010 per unit today while BANX is non-existent following significant controversy.

Doge Holds Top Ten Position by a Thread

Two years later, six PoW coins still remained in the top ten on August 20, 2017. PoW coins included at that time were BTC, ETH, BCH, LTC, DASH, und ETC. BCH, LTC, DASH, und ETC no longer appear in the top ten standings. Weiter, a few other coins that once held positions in the top ten like IOTA, NEM, und NEO have also dropped out of the top ten standings since then. That was close to five years ago and today, DOGE and BTC are the last PoW coins standing in the top ten.

Darüber hinaus, it’s worth noting that Dogecoin (DOGE) is in the tenth position and is fairly close to polkadot’s (PUNKT) market cap in size. When Die Verschmelzung takes place and Ethereum becomes a PoS chain, there’s a chance DOGE may not be in the top ten if prices change. If DOGE is knocked out and The Merge is complete, BTC will be the only proof-of-work digital asset out of the top ten largest crypto market capitalizations.
