One of the best-known antivirus software makers, Norton 360, has announced recently that it is adding cryptocurrency mining to its products. According to the company, the customers will have access to a feature of Ethereum mining in the coming weeks. The business model and charge fee by Norton 360 were not provided that left details unclear about the planning of the company.

Ethereum prices surged after this news as it was interesting how Norton decided to offer a mining option to its customers considering the number of arguments against it. Many environmentalists have claimed that bitcoin and crypto mining was causing irreversible damage to the planet by utilizing more energy than smaller or under-developed countries. Some have also said that the carbon footprint of biotin extraction was equivalent to that of Las Vegas, Nevada.

According to Norton, they were proud to be the first cyber-safety company to offer Ethereum miners the chance of safety by easily turning the idle time on their computers into an opportunity to earn digital currency. The company added that their customers would mine for cryptocurrencies with just a few clicks that would avoid many barriers to entry into the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Despite gains for the day, Ethereum was still well below its May highs; however, a highly anticipated update is expected to release in coming weeks that could raise its chances against the bitcoin as a destination for institutional dollars seeking a hedge against inflation.

The latest update named Ethereum Improvement Proposal 1559 or the London fork is expected to release in July. The said update will change the way of making transactions on Ethereum, and the developers believe that it should prove positive for the price of ETH. The update will divide the Ethereum transaction fees into base fees and tips that will burn the ETH in supple hence, keeping the inflation in check. The deflation feature of EIP 1559 will also be a solution for the high fees on Ethereum. It means ETH/USD might see a surge in its value after the update will be launched in July and could reach its highest level touched in May.

Moreover, the declining prices of the U.S. dollar added further strength to the rising prices of ETH/USD on Sunday. The U.S. dollar fell to 90.03 level after the U.S. Treasury yields reach the 1.5% level over the weekend and added extra gains in ETH/USD as the dollar and Ether shares a negative correlation.

This target was achieved after the first vaccination campaign against coronavirus starter six months ago. The report suggested that more than 2 billion vaccine shots have been administered in 215 countries.

Symmetrical Triangle Pattern

The BTC/USD was closed at$36672.6 after placing a high of $37624.8 and a low of $35928.0. Bitcoin came under pressure on Tuesday and dropped again to post a minor loss for the day amid a combination of factors, including strength in the greenback. The governor of the central bank of Sweden, Stefan Ingves, argued that bitcoin had become an asset to escape regulatory frameworks. At the same time, the finance minister of Sweden confirmed that the country was already looking into implementing tighter rules around cryptocurrency exchanges. These comments added pressure on BTC/USD and dragged its prices. The recent market crash was triggered after the CEO of Tesla, Elon Musk, suspended bitcoin payments amid environmental concerns, and China's restrictions added fuel to the fire.

According to Musk, the main reason behind halting Tesla's partnership with the world's largest cryptocurrency was the devastating effect of bitcoin mining on the environment. However, several crypto enthusiasts came forward to dismiss Musk's claims and bashed him. Among those, the CEO of Binance, Changpeng Zhao, criticized Musk and stated that it is environmentally friendly when Tesla uses electricity to run cars. When others use electricity to run the most efficient financial network globally, it becomes an environmental concern.

Meanwhile, news released by the automaker has revealed that the Daymak Spiritus will be the first automobile capable of mining bitcoin. The patent-pending technology would be the first of its kind to mark a major milestone in the innovation surrounding the bitcoin mining industry. According to the report, every Spiritus vehicle will be a node on the blockchain and include Daymak Nebula Miner and Nebula Wallet.

Furthermore, the average transaction costs on the two largest blockchains, Bitcoin and Ethereum, have dropped to their lowest levels since January. This came in after the latest massive price crash and recovery attempts in the market.

On the other hand, the highly successful author of Rich Dad Poor Dad series of personal finance books, Robert Kiyosaki, said that the price of bitcoin crashing was great news as he might buy some more. Later on, he implied that the cryptocurrency was overvalued. He said that when the price hits $27,000, he might start buying again. However, a lot will depend on the global macro-environment.
