7investing and CryptoEQ recently announced a partnership, to help investors get a better consolidated view of the opportunities in both equities and in cryptocurrencies. 7investing provides its top seven stock market recommendations every month, while CryptoEQ provides its top-rated cryptocurrencies.

The two companies are now joining forces and publishing a monthly Collision Course conversation, where they discuss important recent developments and the impact they'll have on both equities and crypto.

This month, our teams dive into Ethereum's upcoming merge, which will convert it from using a Proof of Work mechanism to one that is based upon Proof of Stake. This change appears to have broad-based support from the cryptocurrency investing community, though because the mining will require significantly less computation it might reduce the future demand for processors sold by NVIDIA (Nasdaq: NVDA) and others that have traditionally been used for that mining.

The teams also checked in on Biden's executive order on cryptocurrencies from March of this year. A closer look reveals that the White House could potentially have an option to ban Bitcoin mining altogether within the country. While this is unlikely (the US has actually been quite supportive of the evolution of its cryptocurrency industry), it's important for investors to keep an eye on regulatory developments that are impacting this space.

Reddit is now allowing collectible avatars to be purchased on its site and then sold using the OpenSea NFT marketplace. We believe this is a "markety" story, though it also shows how crypto is being embraced by websites who generate significant traffic volumes. And finally, the teams discussed discussed the recent partnership between Coinbase (Nasdaq: COIN) and Blackrock (NYSE: BLK), which is enabling institutions and wealth managers to branch out into cryptocurrency assets as a risk mitigation or portfolio management strategy.

We've made this month's Collision Course conversation free for everyone! We always publish each of our video conversations -- and also the complete transcripts --  for 7investing subscribers as monthly Advisor Updates. CryptoEQ publishes a written recap of the conversations in their monthly subscriber email newsletter, which you can subscribe for using this link.
