In brief, here are some gathered highlights of the progress, with detailed information available in the full <a href="https://blog.iota.org/q2-2024-progress-report/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">blog post</a>:
<ol>
 <li>IOTA 2.0 Testnet Launches: Two significant launches include PoS consensus and Mana, aimed at creating a more environmentally friendly and efficient network.</li>
 <li>Ecosystem Growth &amp; Grants: The IOTAGrants initiative has committed $2.74 million to 25 projects, fostering innovation with a strong DeFi ecosystem, over 30 dApps, and major infrastructure partners.</li>
 <li>B2B and Corporate Environments: The New Technology Adoption team is ensuring IOTA tech is embraced positively by partners, paving the way for sustainable implementations. Working with the European Commission, they are further developing blockchain technology in Europe.</li>
 <li>Global Trade &amp; Supply Chains: The Trade and Logistics Information Pipeline advances its work in streamlining cross-border processes with ongoing EU-UK poultry shipment pilots and enhanced engagement with the Kenya Revenue Authority to improve border agency interactions.</li>
 <li>Legal &amp; Regulatory Affairs: IOTA’s Web3 Identification solution was selected for the European Blockchain Sandbox, and they participated in the European Commission’s workshop on asset tokenization.</li>
</ol>
With these two major milestones achieved, and some internal structural adjustments, the IOTA Foundation is now shifting focus from research and development groundwork to solidifying the state of the technology and increasing the application of the technology instead of building its fundamentals.
However, unlike the market condition when IOTA showed a<a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/iota-foundation-launches-evm-mainnet-for-real-world-asset-integration/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> positive surge</a> and traded at $0.2314 following the IOTA Foundation’s launch of the EVM Mainnet, according to CNF, the current data from CoinMarketCap indicates a different trend. At the time of writing, IOTA trades at $0.1686, with a decrease of 0.58% in the past day and 5.40% in the past week. See the IOTA price chart below.
