Binance Confirms Their Support for the Ethereum (ETH) Constantinople Hard Fork

The much-anticipated event of Ethereum Network’s Constantinople Hard Fork scheduled on 16th January is just a couple of weeks away and Binance has already confirmed its support for the same. The buzz around the fork had already given a push to the Ethereum market price and overall market capitalization.

Owing to the positive and bullish sentiment of people around the Fork, Ethereum made the most of the opportunity by regaining its second spot in terms of market cap and displacing Ripple from the position.

However, depending on the target block height of 7,080,000, it could happen a few hours before or after the scheduled date. The increasing size of a node has been growing concern for the community and the scheduled Fork might come to the rescue of the people.

Ethereum network has been plagued by the ever-increasing size, making it difficult for individuals and peers on the network. The scheduled hard-fork would hopefully bring in some relief for the community.

People would be hoping that the Creation of Fork would not lead to complications as it did in case of the Bitcoin Cash network.
