Tether Invests in Energy Production and Sustainable Bitcoin Mining in Uruguay

Tether, the world's leading stablecoin, is expanding into the energy sector by investing in energy production and sustainable Bitcoin mining operations in Uruguay.

The company aims to become a global tech leader and is demonstrating its commitment to energy innovation and the future of cryptocurrency through this initiative.

Tether plans to utilize renewable energy sources to support environmentally friendly Bitcoin mining, contributing to the security and integrity of the Bitcoin network while minimizing ecological impact.

Uruguay's renewable energy capabilities, with 94% electricity generation from renewable sources, make it an ideal location for Tether's sustainable mining operations.

European Central Bank Releases CBDC Research

The Eurosystem developed a centralised settlement engine called N€XT for the back-end prototype of the digital euro.

This system is based on the unspent transaction output (UTXO) data model commonly used for digital currency transactions and proved to be fast and efficient in validating transactions while protecting user privacy.

Market participants successfully implemented and tested various payment scenarios, including offline payments that don't require network connectivity or third-party involvement.

However, questions remain about whether the existing technology can meet the Eurosystem's requirements for a secure offline solution in the short to medium term.

The prototypes developed during this exercise were used for research purposes and won't directly influence future payment solutions or specific design choices for the digital euro.

Saifedean Joins El Salvador’s National Bitcoin Office as Economic Advisor

Dr. Saifedean Ammous, economist and author of "The Bitcoin Standard," has been appointed as an Economic Advisor to El Salvador's Bitcoin Office.

El Salvador made history by adopting bitcoin as legal tender in September 2021.

Ammous's expertise in Bitcoin and monetary economics will provide valuable guidance as the Bitcoin Office implements and integrates bitcoin into the country's economy.

His appointment reflects El Salvador's commitment to incorporating expert opinions and maximizing the benefits of embracing a decentralized digital currency.
