ETH London Hard Fork Took Place on August 5

The London hard fork marked the rollout of 5 new Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs): 1559, 3554, 3529, 3198 and 3541.

On the hard fork day, ETH reached a new two months high above $2,800 level, and on August 8 exceeded a $3,100 level for the first time since the May crash.

Analysts from Compass say that ETH miners can expect their income to decrease by 20-35%, but it will be compensated by the Ethereum price rise in the future.

Have a great week and stay tuned for the upcoming news, CoinLoaners!
