Ether (ETH) fell another 2% to $13133 on the night of Thursday, September 22.
ETH turned out to be one of the hardest hit of the top ten cryptocurrencies. During the week, the altcoin’s capitalization decreased by almost 18% to $162.172 billion.
Observers attribute the drop in ether to the activation of miners on the eve of the Merge fork. Mining pools have dropped almost 17,000 ETH in the last seven days alone.
