Ethereum has completed its second hard fork in the past 30 days, as now most nodes are syncing with the Ethereum blockchain after the Muir Glacier upgrade. These hard forks are seen as small steps on its path towards Proof-of-Stake.
Poloniex, a cryptocurrency exchange that earlier this week contacted some users asking them to reset their passwords over a data leak, has clarified the leak did not stem from Poloniex, and it was merely responding to what it called an “external threat.”
The controversial USDT stablecoin has been growing on the TRON network, so much now over $900 million worth of it are circulating as TRC20 tokens, with a Binance account being the top TRC20 USDT token holder.
