We’re in for an exciting week in the crypto world and here’s why:
1. Ethereum’s Istanbul hard fork is scheduled for October 16, which will result in a number of protocol improvements, including increasing the block size and reducing transaction fees.
2. The Bakkt physically-settled Bitcoin futures platform is set to launch on Monday, October 21. This will be a major milestone for cryptocurrencies as it will enable institutional investors to enter the crypto markets.
3. Finally, the long-anticipated Libra project from Facebook is expected to be released on October 24. This could potentially be a major game-changer for the crypto industry, as it will bring cryptocurrencies to a much wider audience.
It’s going to be an exciting week ahead, so buckle up and get ready for the ride!
