3,1 million Ethereum proof of work (ETHPoW) to be sold by Grayscale Investments

Major digital asset manager Grayscale Investments announced plans to sell all ETHPoW tokens received by Grayscale Ethereum Trust and Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund after Ethereum moved to a proof-of-stake consensus. The number of tokens the management company is going to sell is almost 3.1 million ETHPoW. The event caused a storm of outrage in the crypto community, which accused Grayscale of dumping.

As noted in a press release from the company, both the fund and the trust will transfer the rights to all ETHPoW received as a result of the Merge to Grayscale Investments, which will then sell them within a period not exceeding 180 days. Profits from the sale of the tokens will be allocated to shareholders.

In the same announcement, Grayscale Investments addresses the issue of the lack of liquidity in the ETHPoW market. Given that Ethereum proof-of-work network launched only yesterday, Sept. 15, there is uncertainty about its presence on any platforms and sufficiency of liquidity in them, the company notes. In addition, says Grayscale, there are concerns about the high volatility of the token, which also exposes the impossibility of predicting the price at which their sale will occur.

ETHPoW’s odds of success

At the moment, ETHPoW remains more of a mystery, as no one can say exactly what the future holds for this asset. Nevertheless, blockchain developer and Emerald founder Igor Artamonov, who was involved in Ethereum Classic, estimates the chances of fork as small.

In his detailed explanation, Artamonov argues that the developers of ETHPoW are mismanaging the project, and that unless someone more professional joins them soon, the end will be sad. A great opportunity missed because of poor execution, the developer sums up.
