Elon Musk surpassed Barack Obama and now has the most followed Twitter account in the world.
China and Brazil have reached a deal to conduct trade and financial transactions directly in their own countries' currencies, exchanging yuan for reais vice versa, rather than using US dollar.
Brazilian government representative said “The expectation is that this will reduce costs ... [and] promote even greater bilateral trade and facilitate investment.”
The trade volume between the two countries in 2022 reached $150.5bn.
Twelve hours preceding Binance's indictment, almost $1.5bn of crypto was withdrawn from Binance, Kraken, Coinbase, and Bitfinex. More than half, or $850m, was removed from Binance.
Just one hour after the announcement, Binance saw an additional $240m pulled out, while in the past 24 hours, more than $400m were withdrawn in Ethereum-based funds.
CFTC Chief said the lawsuit against Binance was necessary. He stressed the need for clearer rules and more authority for the CFTC, so that the US customers are not subject to fraud and manipulation.
IMF chief urged institutions for vigilance as risks to global financial stability have increased.
With the global growth slowing to a predicted 2.9%, compared to the historic average of 3.8%, the IMF predicts another challenging year.
She warned of the world possibly splitting into rival economic blocs as a result of geo-economic fragmentation.
This would result in “a dangerous division that would leave everyone poorer and less secure.”
Finally, she urged Chinese policymakers to work to raise productivity and rebalance the economy away from investment and towards more durable consumption-driven growth.
This could not only "offer hope" for the world economy, but also help Beijing reach its climate goals.
On Fragment, which is a marketplace to buy and sell Telegram usernames for TON, users have noticed code lines with the word "Premium."
Some suspect that this indicates a possible Telegram Premium subscription available for purchase on Fragment.
This is based on keywords like "gift," "month," and others spotted alongside "Premium."
Elon Musk has allegedly offered Twitter employees stock grants at a valuation of the company of roughly $20bn, which is less than half of what the platform was purchased for.
This offer appears to be Musk's acknowledgment of the considerable decline in Twitter's value since he acquired it.
Despite this, the $20bn valuation is still notably higher than what the market values Twitter's competitors at.
