Ethereum, the foremost altcoin of the global crypto market, has been surrounded by many a controversial sentiment regarding its 2nd generation platform, upgrade, and ETH coin price.

Alongside, the Ethereum mining hash rate is now hitting an All-Time High, which clearly shows an increase of 85% when compared to the rate marked at the beginning of the year.
