Should Coinbase Stop Trading All Cryptocurrencies Except Bitcoin?

Image
According to a report by the Financial Times, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) advised Coinbase, a prominent cryptocurrency exchange, to halt trading in all cryptocurrencies except bitcoin (BTC) before initiating legal action against the company. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong revealed that the SEC made this recommendation to the exchange. The legal action was taken against Coinbase for allegedly not registering as a broker with the SEC. On June 6, the SEC took legal action against Coinbase, accusing the exchange of violating federal securities law. The SEC alleged that Coinbase was functioning as a broker, an exchange, and a clearinghouse for unregistered securities, including 13 different cryptocurrencies, excluding bitcoin. In response, Coinbase strongly reacted, asserting that the SEC's action infringed Read more about Should Coinbase Stop Trading All Cryptocurrencies Except Bitcoin? #Coinbase, #Cryptocurrency, #Cryptomarket, #Cryptonewstoday, #Regulatio

BNB Smart Chain Targeted by Hackers Due to Programming Language Vulnerability

Image
According to recent reports, the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) experienced copycat attacks that exploited a vulnerability in the Vyper programming language, similar to what happened to the decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol Curve Finance. In light of these exploits happening on Ethereum, BlockSec, a Blockchain security firm, revealed through a tweet on July 30 that approximately $73,000 worth of cryptocurrencies were stolen on the BSC due to three separate exploits. These attacks on BSC happened alongside similar incidents that targeted liquidity pools on Curve Finance, resulting in losses estimated to exceed $41 million, as reported by BlockSec. The vulnerability that led to the exploits on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) was attributed to a malfunctioning reentrancy lock present in Vyper versions 0.2.15, 0.2.16, and 0.3.0.

MiCA Regulation Poses Potential Ban Threat for MEV Activities in the EU

Patrick Hansen, a Circle executive, expresses concern about the potential consequences of the Markets in Cryptoassets (MiCA) regulation on entities involved in Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) activities in the European Union (EU).

This provision has captured the attention of lawyers and industry stakeholders, as it could have significant implications for MEV participants operating within the EU.

Japan Blockchain Association Proposes Tax Reforms to Boost Crypto Industry and Attract Global Firms

The Japan Blockchain Association (JBA) has made a request to Prime Minister Fumio Kishida to modify the country's tax system concerning cryptocurrencies. The association has proposed three key changes aimed at fostering the growth of the crypto industry and increasing accessibility to individual investors.

Lastly, the JBA proposes doing away with income tax on earnings from crypto asset exchanges.

Kyrgyzstan to Spend $20 Million to Build a Hydropowered Crypto Mine

Image
As per reports from a local media outlet, President Japarov has given the green light for the establishment of a crypto mining farm at the Kambar-Ata-2 Hydro Power Plant. This venture is expected to require an investment of around $20 million and serves as a potential solution to tackle energy losses experienced by the power plant during certain periods. Specifically, there are times when the station generates more electricity than it actually needs. The Kambar-Ata-2 Hydro Power Plant, which commenced operations in 2010, has the capacity to produce 120 MW of energy annually. However, it is currently only utilizing 90 MW of this capacity, resulting in the remaining 30 MW going to waste, dissipating into the environment. This inefficiency has led to a considerable financial loss of over $37 million for the plant.

Republicans and Democrats Unable to Reach Consensus on Stablecoin Legislation
