        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Investors have taken a greater interest in the digital asset since the 15th of September merging date is almost certain.</p>
<p>According to statistics from Coingecko, Ethereum's price has increased by as much as 79% in the previous 30 days and by more than 15% in the last week.</p>
<p>Several market analysts, including BitMEX's creator Arthur Hayes, have projected that the merger will assist in pushing the price of the asset past $5,000.</p>
<p>If the asset is able to trade as high as $3,750, there is a greater likelihood of ETH replacing Bitcoin.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the merging has garnered significant support from Ethereum ecosystem participants like as Tether, Chainlink, and Circle, who have already said that they would exclusively accept ETH2.</p>
<h3>The crypto market is rising.</h3>
<p>ETH is not the cryptocurrency whose value has increased over the previous twenty-four hours. During the period, the value of almost 70% of the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization rose.</p>
<p>Bitcoin's breach over the $24,000 zone was boosted by a 2% gain and is currently up 20.8% over the past 30 days.</p>
<p>However, Solana and Polygon are among the largest gainers during the previous 24 hours.</p>
<p>SOL increased 9.1% during the past twenty-four hours to reach $47.38. Given the difficulties of the Solana network and the recent wallet hack that resulted in the loss of millions, this is impressive.</p>
<p>In addition, MATIC's value surpassed $1 following a 24-hour increase of 8.4%. The token has been one of the strongest performers over the past sixty days, gaining 135%.</p>
<p>The cryptocurrency market has gained 0.5% during the past 24 hours.</p>
<h3>50% of Tornado Cash Is Lost in 7 Days</h3>
<p>In the past week, the value of Tornado Cash's token TORN has fallen by more than 50 percent, to $12.77.</p>
<p>This week, Tornado Cash has been in the headlines due to its addition to the US Treasury Department's sanctions list.</p>
<p>The crypto mixer sustained more damage after its creator was detained by Dutch authorities.</p>
<p>Since the penalty was imposed, less than $6 million has been placed into the mixer, according to the statistics available.</p>

<h3>Conclusion</h3>
<ul>
<li>The last time Ethereum traded over the $2,000 area was two months ago.</li>
<li>In the preceding twenty-four hours, Solana and Polygon are among the other stocks with the best performance.</li>
<li>In seven days, Tornado Cash's TORN has lost almost fifty percent of its value.</li>
