Ethereum's Energy Consumption Among Lowest for Proof-of-Stake Networks, Study Finds

ethereum blockchain energy consumption

Quick Look

A Cambridge University study found Ethereum's energy intensity is among the lowest for proof-of-stake blockchains, using 33 kWh per $1 million of market value post-merge.
While overall consumption is higher than some, its transition to PoS drastically cut energy use by ~99.96%.

A Cambridge study found Ethereum has low energy intensity among proof-of-stake blockchains, consuming 7.87 GWh annually. Adjusted for market value, it uses 33 kWh per $1 million, second only to BNB Chain, significantly less than Solana. The report aids policymakers and investors in comparing blockchain sustainability post-Merge.

Ether Price Edges Up 3% Amid Tokenization Boom, But Onchain Metrics Signal Caution

Ether (ETH) price rose 3% driven by tokenization growth and Robinhood Chain, despite weak onchain data. Ethereum leads RWA tokenization, and Robinhood Chain attracted $106M in deposits. However, DApp revenue and active addresses are down, and funding rates are low, raising concerns about a potential retest of $1,700.
