The hardfork Istanbul Ethereum has finally been activity in block 9 069 000 during the night of 8 December, at around 1 in the morning. A few days before the closing of the transaction, the major crypto-exchanges have demonstrated their willingness to support and participate in the implementation of the hardfork like Binance (the largest crypto exchange by market capitalisation) on 5 December.
On the other hand, other companies such as Bitfinex also announced their willingness to participate in the support of the hardfork, and it is the same for Poloniex who announced his support on twitter.

An upgrade that is of interest to the entire community crypto
The passage of Ethereum to Serenity (ETH 2.0) has aroused a great interest among the community for the simple and sole reason that the platform promises to renovate the basis of its system for better accessibility via the protocol POS (Proof of stake) and to a large extent a higher return for holders of the crypto-currency ETH, but also the market participants.
After completing Istanbul, one of the last steps before the finalization of the transition, some new features have been announced at the level of the MIS, namely MIS -152/1108/1344/1844/2028/2200.
