CoinWire news: Coin Bureau reported that research from the University of Cambridge shows that since the Ethereum Merge, its power demand has fallen by 99.9%. Ethereum’s annual energy consumption has dropped to just 7.87 GWh, with the network’s electricity usage significantly reduced. This notable decrease in energy demand is expected to boost Ethereum’s appeal to institutions and investors that prioritize environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards.

Wait, what about those voices saying ETH would lose its security because of this? It doesn’t seem to have come true after all.

99.9% feels so comfortable to look at, and here’s another reason for institutions to step in.

7.87 GWh—what does that mean? Roughly, it’s about the annual electricity usage of a few thousand households. For a global settlement network to reach this level is indeed outrageous.

Cambridge’s data endorsement should leave the haters with nothing to say now, right?

Merging this move is indeed impressive—turning a power-hungry monster into an environmental role model, ESG funds can now allocate with justification.
