The new decade promises to be full of cryptocurrency events that everyone is looking forward to. We have compiled in one list the most interesting news feeds that will blow up the news feed this year.
TON trial
Date: February 18, 2020.
The Securities Commission (SEC) began preparations for the hearing in December. Then the SEC through the court of the Southern District of New York demanded Pavel Durov to disclose financial information about the ICO TON. Initially, the judge ruled that the SEC’s claims were unfair and rejected it, but after a few days the decision changed in the opposite direction. Now Durov’s company is obliged to disclose bank documents in the case by January 27.
The main reason for the claim is the SEC’s attempt to prove that the token sale was carried out after the established ICO deadline. The results of the proceedings will directly affect the launch of TON, which is scheduled for April 30.
Halving bitcoin
Date: May 10, 2020.
We have already considered the opinion of experts on the upcoming Bitcoin halving. Another decrease in reward will occur in 4 months and will most of all affect the miners. Traders expect the BTC rate to jump from halving and stock up on currency ahead of a new big race.
Libra launch
Date: until December 31, 2020.
The potential of Libra is so great that the launch of the mainnet can be safely described as the revolutionary cryptocurrency event of a decade that just can’t go smoothly. The cryptocurrency from Facebook is being opposed by governments of different countries, not hiding fear of the potential of Libra. In addition, the project lacks a go-to-market strategy, as announced by board member Patrick Ellis. However, Ellis pointed out that the launch should take place in 2020, without specifying an exact date.
The CoinFlex exchange decided to capitalize on the event by launching physically delivered futures contracts in October that will be settled based on whether Facebook developers, lawyers and officials have time to launch the platform before the end of the year.
Zero phase Ethereum 2.0
Date: July 30, 2020.
Moving dates in Ethereum roadmaps is a common thing, but it is on July 30 that the developers are going to take the first major step towards the transition to PoS. Ethereum 2.0 Phase Zero will mark the beginning of the end for the Ethereum mining era, but it’s too early for graphics card owners to worry. Phase 0 does not imply a complete transition to a new consensus algorithm, although the first step in this direction will give a clear signal for miners.
