    Bitcoin Mining Bans Could Lead to Increase in Carbon Emissions: Researchers

    A new research paper has argued that Bitcoin mining bans could have the unintended consequence of actually increasing global carbon emissions in some cases. The paper argued that banning Bitcoin mining in areas that use a comparatively high amount of renewable energy, such as Canada, Norway, or El Salvador, would encourage Bitcoin mining to grow in more fossil fuel-reliant countries like Kazakhstan, Russia, or China. The working paper was put together by researchers at a not-for-profit blockchai...

    Mark Cuban Dismisses Polymarket Election Odds as Result of 'Foreign Money'

    Billionaire investor Mark Cuban has dismissed the usefulness of the decentralized prediction market Polymarket when it comes to predicting the 2024 U.S. presidential election winner. “From all indications, most of the money coming into Polymarket is foreign money, so I don’t think it’s an indication of anything,” he said in an interview with CNBC Squawk Box.

    Stablecoins No ‘Safe Haven’ From US Monetary Policy, Says European Central Bank

    The European Central Bank (ECB) has challenged the idea that stablecoins are a “safe haven” for investors in times of market turmoil, finding they are actually highly impacted by U.S. monetary policy. The working paper examined the link between U.S. monetary policy, money market funds (MMFs), and stablecoins. “Monetary policy, in particular for the U.S. dollar, is the linchpin that connects crypto and traditional financial markets,” the authors concluded. The paper argued that stablecoins—which...
