VeChain has announced a partnership with Boston Consulting Group to provide blockchain solutions to BCG's clients. VeChain is a blockchain-as-a-service provider that offers tools and services to enterprises across multiple industries. Its platform is designed to be scalable and uses a two-token system to ensure its value is stable and predictable. Collateral Network, the world's first web3 peer-to-peer lender, has launched its presale with COLT tokens currently priced at $0.01 per token. The platform mints an NFT that represents the physical asset being used as collateral for the loan, which is then broken down into smaller segments to enable various lenders to fund individual loan segments. Ethereum's Shapella upgrade, which is set to take place on April 12, aims to streamline ETH withdrawals and fortify the consensus layer of the Ethereum Beacon Chain. Investors are optimistic that the upgrade will lead to a surge in the value of Ethereum.
