Ahead of ‘Merge’ Ether trading volumes spike

Indian cryptocurrency exchanges are witnessing a bump up in trading volumes of Ether, the second-most valuable crypto in the world, ahead of Ethereum’s transition into a less energy-intensive technology to run its blockchain.

The “The Merge”, or how the transition is known, is expected to take place sometime on September 15 and is being touted as one of the most important events for the crypto industry.
