The biggest new memecoin of 2023, Pepe (PEPE), suffered one of the worst possible fates that can befall a new crypto asset — a partial rug pull after its anonymous developers abruptly sold nearly $16 million worth of the token on Aug. 24.

The official Pepe X (formerly known as Twitter) account explained the drop was due to “three ex-team members” going behind their back and selling the tokens without their knowledge — a move that saw the price of Pepe plummet as much as 26% in the days following, without much respite.

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.

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

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.

Crypto exchange Binance has encouraged users to start converting their Binance USD (BUSD) stablecoin holdings into other available assets, including a newly listed stablecoin, amid plans to wind down support for BUSD.

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.

On Sept. 12, crypto exchange CoinEx experienced abnormally large outflows to an address with no prior history, leading security experts to suspect the exchange was hacked. Blockchain security platform Cyvers Alerts has estimated the losses to be approximately $27 million.

At approximately 1:21 p.m. UTC on Sept. 12, a known CoinEx hot wallet transferred around 4,947 Ether (ETH), worth $7.9 million at the time, to Ethereum account 0x8bf8cd7F001D0584F98F53a3d82eD0bA498cC3dE. The receiving account had no prior history before this transaction.

Arbitrum has emerged as a leading contender within the Ethereum network’s layer-2 scalability solutions, boasting a significant total value locked (TVL) and notable activity. However, between Sept. 9 and Sept. 11, the price of Arbitrum (ARB) tokens experienced a sharp decline of 14.5%, marking its lowest point in history.

Investors are now eagerly seeking insight into the factors driving this movement and questioning whether Arbitrum still possesses the competitive edge, especially considering that irrespective of the ARB token performance, the network TVL exceeds $1.6 billion.
