With more stakers entering the network, the amount previously earned by miners will now go towards the former type of validator, naturally increasing their revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The merge is a huge development that will turn Ethereum into a deflationary asset, bringing a lot of buy pressure that has investors hopeful. There have been multiple signs and discussions about a potential massive change following the merge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The crypto community carried out an analysis on <a href=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/the-triple-halving-ethereum-merge-is-it-priced-in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the triple-halving<\/a> that the Ethereum merge would bring. Bear in mind that Ethereum will undergo a 90% cut of daily emissions from 12,000 \u039e a day to 1280 \u039e, while rewards for PoS validators will go up from 4.5% to 10\u201315% in the months after the merge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I think word is getting around about staking <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24ETH&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">$ETH<\/a>! 302,000 ETH waiting to activate.<br><br>Pending <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24ETH&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">$ETH<\/a> waiting to activate validators for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Ethereum?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">#Ethereum<\/a> is working on a new all time high!
