Ethereum Classic, which seems to have benefited the most from the Ethereum Merge, has the potential to surprise investors in the coming days.
With the Merge completed and miners shifting from ETH to the ETC network, ETC is now the largest PoW smart contract network in the world.
Congratulations @ETC_Network, #EthereumClassic is the largest #PoW smart contract network. $ETChttps://t.co/eRQrQtcLdp @ETC_Network

ETC witnessed a massive surge in its hashrate right after the Merge as it reached an all-time high of over 300TH/s. However, since then, the hashrate has declined, and at the time of writing, it was 233 TH/s. This new achievement brought joy to both miners and investors as traders have been in anticipation of the next bull rally.
Though ETC’s chart was painted red as its value declined by over 5% in the last 24 hours, the positive developments in the community might help it bounce back in the coming days. At the time of writing, ETC was trading at $34.36 with a market capitalization of $4,704,587,302.
