Breaking: Historic day for crypto as Ethereum Merge to proof-of-stake occurs

Ethereums highly anticipated conversion to a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus algorithm, dubbed the Merge, took place at 6:42:42 am UTC on Sept. 15.

The Merge will reportedly help the Ethereum blockchain reduce its energy consumption by around 99%.
