Highlights of the Week:
I bet a lot of people do not know Ethereum’s birthday is 30th of July, 2015. Well, now you know.
2. Ethereum London Network Upgrade Countdown!
After a recent slump across cryptocurrency markets, Ether has surged to new all-time highs off the back of a number of important events and metrics. Overall, 2021 promises to be a crucial year for the Ethereum blockchain as developers continue to work toward the network’s integration with Ethereum 2.0, which will see the blockchain part ways with its original proof-of-work consensus algorithm in favor of the touted energy- and cost-efficient proof-of-stake consensus.
3. Uniswap Says It’s Talking With PayPal, Robinhood and More in Deleted Video
“We’re trying to put Uniswap and the rest of DeFi right there in those applications so that we can bring the dream of open, 100% uptime liquidity to the whole world,” Schap said. “PayPal wants to talk to us, E*Trade wants to talk to us, Stripe wants to talk to us.”
4. Goldman Sachs Applies for DeFi ETF with SEC
Investment banking giant Goldman Sachs has filed an application with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that would offer exposure to public companies in decentralized finance and blockchain around the globe.
5. Statistics on Andre Cronje’s Fixed Forex
Since Andre Cronje’s blogpost on 2nd of July, about the concept of Fixed Forex, we have been tracking the progress closely. It has a current TVL of about USD 48.5m and Sushi APY 38.64%. Keep the good stuff coming.
