What Happened in the Crypto Industry & NOBI Over The Last Week?

Another week has passed. The market is getting better, and warm weather is getting closer every day. Let’s take a look at what’s new and interesting we have for you!

1. Michael Saylor Quits As MicroStrategy CEO to Focus on Bitcoin Strategy

Starting August 8, Michael Saylor will officially step down as CEO of MicroStrategy, and become Executive Chairman. Saylor himself has served as CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors since MicroStrategy was founded in 1989 and then officially went public in 1998.

During the announcement, Saylor emphasized the importance of separating the roles and duties of company management. He also underlined his strategy to focus on Bitcoin. Saylor explained, “As Executive Chair, I will be able to focus more on our Bitcoin acquisition strategy.”

2. Tim Beiko Announces Goerli Details, The Ethereum Merge Is Getting Closer than EVER!

The Merge is getting closer! Beiko team announces details of Goerli, the last testnet before The Merge. Goerli’s testnet is expected to take place between August 6 and August 12. But this schedule can still change depending on how fast the hashrate function is.

The Ethereum developers have mentioned September 19, 2022 as the release date of The Merge which also indicates that the blockchain network will officially transition using proof-of-stake consensus.

3. US Senate Bill & CFTC to Defines Bitcoin & Ethereum as Digital Commodities

US Senators have drafted a second bill to regulate the regulation of crypto assets. Along with that, they will also provide regulatory authority to the CFTC. The plan is that this bill will change the definition of “commodity” by including “digital commodity” into it. And will apply to a wide range of crypto assets, including Bitcoin and Ethereum. This move will effectively give the CFTC jurisdiction over regulation in the crypto sector.
