Crypto marketplace OpenSea has been added to the SEC's list of targets, as the regulator extends its crackdown on the sector. The company's CEO said in a post on X on Wednesday that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued a Wells notice against OpenSea. A Wells notice is typically one of the final steps before the SEC issues formal charges. The letter, according to the OpenSea chief, alleges that the nonfungible tokens, or NFTs, sold on its platform are securities. In May, investment platform Robinhood announced it received a Wells notice for the company's crypto operations.

SUTHERLAND SPRINGS, Texas — Crews on Monday tore down a Texas church where a gunman killed more than two dozen worshippers in 2017, using heavy machinery to raze the small building even after some families sought to preserve the scene of the deadliest church shooting in U.S. history. A new church was completed for the congregation about a year and a half after the shooting. Workers continue demolition of the First Baptist Church, in Sutherland Springs, Texas, Monday, on Aug. 12, 2024. In the lawsuit, the plaintiffs alleged that some church members were wrongfully removed from the church roster before the vote was taken. After the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, it was torn down and replaced.

PARIS — Steph Curry's late-game heroics and a lightning-fast American transition attack denied France its storybook basketball ending Saturday night. The United States consistently cashed in French turnovers and misses into fastbreak points and Curry scored a team-high 24 points in a 98-87 American win in the men’s basketball gold medal game. Curry gave the Bercy Arena fans his "night, night" taunt after the final, dagger jumper. The four-time NBA champ Curry said the gold medal is something he'll always cherish. He's now among nine players who can boast of having a NBA championship ring, regular season MVP honor, finals MVP award and an Olympic gold medal.
