In an unprecedented move, eight crypto mining operators in Kazakhstan have communicated their grievances to the President, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, over elevated power prices. Media outlets in the area cites claims from these companies of being within “extraordinarily terrible conditions”. Such upheaval may lead to sizeable crypto businesses suspending their operations and potentially withdrawing completely from the market in Kazakhstan.

On the trading front, cryptocurrency transactions in mainland China and Hong Kong have dramatically fallen over the past year. This comes as part of the ongoing crypto market slump as well as Beijing’s persistent attempts to suppress and prohibit digital assets. The findings by Chainalysis denotes a significant shift in Eastern Asia’s crypto market activity, which was once a front-runner in the field.

Turning our attention to the gaming news, gaming firm Wemade has declared its partnership with Chainlink Labs to cultivate an “interoperable Web3 gaming ecosystem”. They aim to bridge formerly isolated blockchain networks and facilitate smooth cross-chain interactions and transfers of assets.

In keeping with investments, Valkyrie Funds unveiled a unique dual cryptocurrency futures exchange-traded fund (ETF): Valkyrie Bitcoin and Ether Strategy ETF. Scheduled to start operations on October 3, it promises to give investors an exposure to both Bitcoin Futures and Ether Futures. Meanwhile, Alchemy, a blockchain developer platform, has taken over Satsuma, a Web3 subgraph indexing platform aimed at resolving some of the biggest challenges facing Web3 developers.

Last but not least, crime news emerging from Binance indicates its recent supportive role in helping Thai authorities crack down on criminal networks. These successful enforcement actions are being hailed as a commendable collaborative effort on the part of the Royal Thai Police and Binance‘s Investigations team.

To conclude, the world of crypto is undergoing continuous transformation with both positive strides and challenging hurdles. From grappling with high energy prices to innovative partnerships and collaborative initiatives to curb crime, there is never a dull moment in the dynamic crypto arena.
