Listen "Tether Sues Swan, Gov’t Blacklists Sophgo, and Pool Transaction Censorship"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome back to The Mining Pod! For this week’s news roundup, Colin and Will dig into Tether’s lawsuit against Swan Bitcoin, the latest development in a now two-front legal dispute over the companies’ bitcoin mining joint venture. Plus, the U.S. government is issuing trade restrictions against Sophgo, a Chinese computer chip company helmed by Bitmain CEO Micree Zhan, and F2Pool might be filtering transactions from OFAC-sanctioned Bitcoin addresses again. And finally, for this week’s cry corner, a Bitcoin mining company’s guerrilla sales tactic to get Ethereum DeFi platform AAVE to invest its treasury into bitcoin mining.
