The move from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake for Ethereum is imminent. This week, cryptocurrency market maker Cumberland reported that institutional investors had increased their long ether holdings.
The Sepolia testnet successfully merged to proof-of-stake on July 6, paving the way for an early-autumn mainnet merging, according to a tweet from the company.
