After Ethereum (ETH) followed an upward trajectory in the last three days, it crossed the $1,500 mark on Monday. Many in the crypto community have attributed the ETH price rise to the upcoming Merge. The Ethereum mainnet is likely to roll out the merge around September 19, the developers said last week.

Merge Update Pushing Ethereum Price Up?

Meanwhile, there was renewed trading activity around ETH ever since the Merge timeline was revealed. Luke Martin, a podcaster, said in a tweet that the update on ETH merge pushed the price increase.

“The ETH merge trade begins: ever since the merge timeline update it has outperformed.”

However, the timeline for Merge could still be pushed beyond the announced schedule. This mainly depends on the smooth execution of the Goerli merge. Haseeb Qureshi, a crypto VC professional, said he expects the merge timeline to be postponed.

“The Merge timeline is finally materializing: Sept 19th! I expect it to get delayed at least a couple weeks, but a commitment to a date this close is super promising.”
