Is ETH’s merge facing a problem?

The recent major drop has come before the most anticipated ETH ‘Merge’ upgrade. The network registered some stability issues which has raised many questions over its future. The merge will be shifting the Ethereum network from POW to POS in order to make it energy efficient. As per the report, the ETH Beacon chain experienced a 7 block deep reorganisation issue yesterday. This is termed the probable security risk for the network.

The majority of the investors were still hoping for the crypto market to recover from its lower levels. However, the digital assets market has shrunk by another 2% over the last day. The total market cap stands at $1.2 trillion. Meanwhile, Bitcoin (BTC) has liquidation of around $110 million in the past 24 hours.
