ETH Merge in September?
After a few stumbling blocks, the date for switching the Proof-of-Work consensus mechanism to Proof-of-Stake on the ETH network should fall on August.
ETH developer Superphiz presented a plan of the next steps for the merge, which developer Tim Beiko is said to have suggested. The merge could therefore only take place in September. However, the developer emphasized that the data is not final.
This merge timeline isn't final, but it's extremely exciting to see it coming together. Please regard this as a planning timeline and look out for official announcements!https://t.co/ttutBceZ21 pic.twitter.com/MY8VFOv0SI

3AC founders on the run
Vacant offices, court cases initiated: The end of the hedge fund Three Arrows Capital (3AC) does not sound like a happy ending. Only recently did the company have to announce its insolvency using a corresponding procedure.

The euro falls to one US dollar
A historic low: the euro has reached parity with the US dollar. One euro is therefore equal to one US dollar. At times, the currency of the euro zone even slipped below the greenback.
Such a low was last recorded in 2002. Rising inflation rates, the ongoing war in Ukraine and skyrocketing energy prices are likely to be responsible for the weakening euro.
