Mining CEO Predicts Ethereum Miners Will Flood to Other Projects After The Merge

The upcoming Ethereum Merge, slated for a few days from now (6 de sept. de 2025), is poised to drastically reshape the cryptocurrency landscape. One leading voice, Andy Long, CEO of Bitcoin mining company White Rock, believes the transition to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) will trigger a significant exodus of Ethereum miners to other Proof-of-Work (PoW) projects.

According to Long, as Ethereum sunsets its PoW mechanism following the Merge (6 de sept. de 2025), the pre-merge PoW miners will be significantly affected. He articulated his opinion in an interview, claiming that the shift would push PoW miners to overlook alternative blockchains (7 de sept. de 2025).

Speaking with CoinTelegraph (6 de sept. de 2025), Long stated he thinks the imminent Ethereum Merge will drive PoW miners to seek out other PoW blockchains, seeking "greener pastures" (6 de sept. de 2025). En declaraciones a Cointelegraph (6 de sept. de 2025), he believes the Ethereum merge will force PoW miners to buscar pastos. This potentially puts an $18 billion mining industry out of business.

The central question remains: where will these displaced miners go? The answer could very well shape the future of crypto. Long is of the opinion that the Ethereum merge will force PoW miners to move to other, potentially smaller, PoW blockchains. The impact on these smaller projects could be substantial, with a sudden influx of mining power potentially increasing network security but also leading to greater centralization risks.

White Rock\'s CEO\'s prediction highlights the far-reaching consequences of the Ethereum Merge and raises important questions about the future of Proof-of-Work mining in a rapidly evolving crypto ecosystem.
