Biden's odds of dropping out jump to 55% on PolyMarket as Obama raises 'concerns' about the presidential campaign. CleanSpark mined 445 bitcoin last month, exceeding the mid-year hashrate target of 20 EH/s. In a United States federal court ruling, Judge Amy Berman Jackson dismissed several key claims by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against Binance, including the assertion that crypto tokens themselves are securities.

BTC $60,914 (-2.68%), ETH $3,362 (-2.14%), SOL $147.83 (+0.52%)
