VeChain Partners With Boston Consulting Group, Collateral Network Presale Gets Going, While Ethereum Update Sets Date
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.

ETH Gains 4% as Ethereum Devs Confirm Date For Shanghai Upgrade
The Ethereum protocol support team has confirmed that the Shapella hard fork will occur on April 12, two weeks from today. Shapella combines changes to the execution layer, the consensus layer, and the Engine API. The upgrade enables validators to withdraw their stake from the Beacon Chain back to the execution layer and introduces new functionality to both the execution and consensus layers. All of the main Ethereum clients, including Lighthouse, Lodestar, Nimbus, Prysm, and Teku, now support the Shapella upgrade. There have been concerns that a large amount of Ethereum will be unstaked and sold to markets following the hard fork. However, this is unlikely to occur due to the phased release, which has been implemented for network security purposes. Ethereum prices have gained around 3.8% over the past 24 hours and ETH was trading at $1,780 at the time of writing. (cryptopotato)
