Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) gains, QNT & CSPR lead best gainers
Sau khi giao dịch trong phạm vi vào cuối tuần, tiền điện tử hiện đang cho thấy một số dấu hiệu tăng. Bitcoin (BTC), tiền điện tử lớn nhất thế giới, đã tăng 2% trong 24 giờ qua để đòi lại 19k USD và giao dịch cao tới 19.491 USD.

- Despite the rally, the bearish sentiment around ETH remains high as shark and whale addresses have dumped 3.3 million ETH ($4.3 billion) over the past five weeks.
52% of ethereum blocks face censorship from OFAC-compliant Flashbots
Since Ethereum transitioned to Proof-of-Stake (PoS), censorship has been one of the biggest concerns. This is due to a rise in Maximum Extractable Value (MEV) boost-relays compliant with the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) rules.
The PoS requires validators instead of miners, creating a problem as most new validators on Ethereum use MEV-boost relays to maximize their yields. The largest MEV-Boost relays, Flashbots announced its “OFAC Compliance” after the Tornado Cash sanction.
According to data from MEV Watch, 52% of Ethereum’s blocks produced over the last 24 hours were built by these OFAC-compliant MEV-Boost relays.
This has increased concerns about Ethereum as these relays have openly stated their intention to censor transactions related to Tornado Cash or other protocols targeted by the U.S. Treasury in the future.
Flipsider:
- Of the top seven top Ethereum MEV relays, BloxRoute Max Profit, BloxRoute Ethical, and Manifold are Ethereum MEV-boost relays that do not censor transactions.
Why You Should Care
With no solution in sight, Ethereum developers have urged validators to connect to non-censoring relays like bloXroute’s relays if they want to evade the censorship on Ethereum.
The development activity in the Polkadot Ecosystem is at an all-time high
The launch of Polkadot (DOT) parachain auctions last year, has brought the multichain protocol significant development. The network recognized over 500 contributions daily in September and in August.
In the period, Polkadot’s GitHub recorded 14,930 developers’ contributions, with 66 blockchains now live on Polkadot and Kusama, as the development activity on Polkdot hit a new all-time high.
Polkadot’s cross-consensus interoperability standard XCM recorded 26,258 messages sent between parachains from over 140,000 messages that have been exchanged between chains via 135 messaging channels since its inception.
Polkadot founder Rob Habermeier recently published a host of updates on enhancing the scalability of the networks. If the upgrade goes live, parachain block time will be reduced by 50% while block space will be increased by 10 times.
Flipsider:
- According to data from Messari, since late August, DOT’s volatility has been declining to a current metric of 0.51.
Why You Should Care
Polkadot’s commitment to solving the blockchain interoperability problem and promote a heterogeneous multi-chain framework are the reasons behind its increasing usage.
The Australian Securities and Exchange Commission (ASIC) suspended Sydney-based asset manager Holon Global Investments from offering three of its crypto funds to retail investors on October 17th.
The interim stop order valid for 21 days prevents Holon from providing general advice, sharing a PDS and issuing shares of three crypto-related funds—tracking Bitcoin, Ethereum and Filecoin to retail investors.
According to the ASIC, the reason for the stop order is due to incomplete target market determination (TMDs) submissions. The regulator adds that the funds are not suited for the wide target market defined in the TMDs.
The regulator adds that Holon failed to appropriately consider the features and risks of the funds in determining its target markets, which can lure retail investors to invest in funds that may not be suitable for their financial objectives, situation or needs.
Flipsider:
- If the ASIC approves Holon’s submission before the final stop, the interim stop order can be revoked before the given 21-day ultimatum.
Why You Should Care
If Holon fails to address the issues raised about the TMDs and redefine its target investors and risk profile ASIC will place a final stop order on the funds.
Nvidia turns off anti-crypto mining software on the RTX 30-series GPUs
To limit the purchase of graphics cards for mining cryptocurrencies during the 2021 crypto boom, Nvidia introduced the “Lite Hash Rate” (LHR) versions of its most popular RTX 30-series cards to limit crypto mining on the firmware level.
According to reports, the biggest GPU company, Nvidia Corporation has now removed this limitation, which detected and slowed down RTX 30-series GPUs when tried to be used in Ethereum mining.
Tom’s Hardware on Reddit that Nvidia RTX 3050 through RTX 3080 Ti can now mine Ethereum-type crypto-coins at full speed and power. New tests conducted by miners now show the RTX 3080 Ti’s hash rate increasing from 75MH/s to over 103MH/s.
The LHR appears to have been removed from their firmware as part of the latest driver update. The move comes less than a month after Ethereum move away from mining.
Flipsider:
- Nvidia has “unlaunched” its latest GPU, the GeForce RTX 4080 12GB graphics card due to naming issues.
Why You Should Care
Ethereum’s move away from mining may have affected the removal of the LHR, as the high demand by miners caused the prices of these GPUs to spike.
