There are hopes that the United States could see a new crypto resurgence after several rulings this year have seen court judges “rein in the SEC,” according to a digital asset lawyer from K&L Gates.

On Aug. 31, Jeremy McLaughlin, a partner at the global law firm, noted that multiple U.S. court cases have stomped on arguments from Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler, who has said that almost all digital assets are securities.

U.Today - Stories about savvy whales and investors making have become a usual part of the cryptocurrency industry, but what about those who do not have the Midas touch but still manage fairly large sums of ?

One such Ethereum investor has been grabbing attention for all the wrong reasons. This individual seems to have a knack for making poor choices when it comes to perpetual contracts, and their recent moves have left many in the crypto world utterly baffled.

In an Aug. 31 statement from Binance, the crypto exchange confirmed prior speculation that it will gradually stop support for BUSD by February 2024 — a decision in line with Paxos' plans to end BUSD redemption at that time.

Researchers behind the well-known Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index (CBECI) have officially revised its methodology to enhance the accuracy and reliability of the Index’s estimates for the first time since its inception in 2019.

The CBECI was launched in July 2019 in an effort to provide reliable data-driven insights to questions about Bitcoin mining’s energy-intensive nature and associated environmental impact.

CBECI looked at U.S. import records on Bitcoin mining equipment (left) and estimated computing power derived from import data (right). Researchers used the hash rate (in TH/s) and gross weight stated by the manufacturer and applied an equally weighted mix of the following models from Canaan’s Avalon A1246, Avalon A1266, Avalon A1346 and Avalon A1366

U.Today - The Foundation just pulled the curtain back on its latest innovation: the , or EELS.

EELS has been in the works for over a year and aims to replace the Yellow (OTC:YELLQ) Paper as the go-to guide for Ethereum's inner workings. But unlike its predecessor, EELS is not stuck in the past. It is fully up-to-date with all the latest forks and offers a user-friendly approach that is geared toward programmers.

What is EELS? It provides a complete snapshot of the protocol at every fork, including the ones still on the drawing board. This is a big deal because, until now, Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) have only ever suggested changes.

They have not given developers a full picture of how those changes fit into the existing framework. EELS solves this problem by offering a comprehensive, easy-to-follow guide that could become the new gold standard for Core EIPs.

The announcement of Patricia Token (PTK) by Nigerian crypto exchange Patricia was greeted by users with scepticism and some suspicion as they took to social media to question the motives behind the move. Now, in a response to that reaction, the crypto exchange company has released a white paper seeking to explain the intended function of Patricia Token.

According to the released white paper, Patricia Token is not a stablecoin but a debt token issued to customers to manage users’ debt. Patricia said it would operate similarly to an IOU (I owe you) document, serving as a means for the exchange to acknowledge its debt to its users and promising to pay holders 1 Tether (USDT) for each Patricia Token in the future.
