An Ethereum integration upgrade scheduled for September 15th is approaching.

There is a lot of hype (albeit not all positive) around the new Ethereum network’s new Proof of Stake ecosystem and protocol.

This hype caused the price of Ethereum to increase significantly earlier.

Ethereum is currently nearly 50% higher than its June lows.

The hype of altcoins does not end with the merging upgrade.

Cardano (ADA), the eighth largest altcoin by market cap, will undergo the Vasil upgrade on September 22nd.

This is the largest upgrade yet to the Cardano network and will bring increased network capacity and lower transaction costs.

Bitcoin dominance:

Bitcoin dominance has been trending above the 40.50% horizontal support area since bottoming out in May 2021.

After three bounces, it failed to make any major breakouts and reached a high of 48.45% in June 2022.

After that, the dominance of Bitcoin over the crypto market declined and reached its lowest level at 38.3% today, September 7, as the percentage broke out of its support area.

On the other hand, the ETH/BTC trading pair has been moving upwards since it reached a low of 0.049 in June 2022.

So far, the trading pair reached a high of ₿0.084 on Sep 6th.

This is almost the highest value for the pair since early 2018.

It can be said that the technical upgrades and updates of alternative digital currencies made the investor audience in the crypto market tend to it at the expense of bitcoin, which was evident in the decline in the percentage of bitcoin’s dominance in the market.
