☆ Bitcoin’s resilience above $25,000 is a 'silver lining' in grim crypto market, says Wolfe Research
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-12 | by ( Tanaya Macheel | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Things seem to have taken a turn lower in the crypto market, but bitcoin offers a glimmer of hope and Wolfe Research is defending its long view of the asset. The crypto market continues to struggle from low volume and liquidity that have dragged on for most of the year. "That changed this week with Monday seeing over $105 million in crypto liquidations, and the equal weight crypto index we track breaking down in turn," Wolfe Research's Rob Ginsberg said in a note Wednesday. On top of that, Treasury yields remain high amid stubbornly high inflation and uncertainty around the Israel-Hamas war. Crypto stocks are also trading down, but may be finding support now, according to Wolfe.

When Gary Kruglitz told us to Zelle him, he didn't really tell us to Zelle him. Out of all the kinds of money, money to build a pool is probably the very best kind of money for the world to suffer the loss of.

☆ California Governor Newsom says he'll sign bill requiring large companies to report emissions

California Governor Gavin Newsom says he will sign a bill that will require large businesses to account for their carbon emissions, including their scope 3 or supply chain emissions. It will require businesses in California that earn over a billion dollars a year in revenue to publicly declare their greenhouse gas emissions. (Scope 1 emissions come directly from a company's operations and scope 2 measures emissions from purchased electricity, heat, and other sources of energy.) Newsom said he would sign SB253 and touted the state's leadership in climate issues at a Climate Week event in New York City on Sunday. Newsom thanked large businesses in the state, like Apple and Salesforce , which voiced their support for the climate disclosure regulations.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Efforts by the Biden administration to limit pollution from automobile tailpipes — a major source of planet-warming emissions — face a crucial test as legal challenges brought by Republican-led states head to a federal appeals court. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit will hear arguments Thursday and Friday on three cases challenging Biden administration rules targeting cars and trucks. The cases before the appeals court will test a 2021 Environmental Protection Agency rule that strengthened tailpipe pollution limits and a 2022 EPA decision that restored California’s authority to set its own tailpipe pollution standards for cars and SUVs. The court cases come as the Biden administration pushes the auto industry to quickly adopt electric vehicles as part of its climate agenda. “Far from doing something unexpected or novel'' in the tailpipe pollution rule, "EPA merely tightened existing standards,'' Kim wrote.

Lobsters have long been a staple of the Maine economy, worth roughly $388 million last year alone, but climate change is putting the catch at risk. Now lobstermen and women, along with local entrepreneurs, are turning to a new and potentially even more lucrative staple: Seaweed. Seaweed is also a natural carbon sink, helping the ocean to absorb excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Aquaculture in general, and seaweed in particular, is an essential economic driver for the state of Maine. Atlantic Sea Farms works with 27 lobstermen up and down the coast.

In 2017, the company was paying a lobbying firm to oppose New York's Right to Repair Act, Vice reported. "We will continue to support the bill, so long as it continues to provide protections for customers and innovators." California's Right to Repair Act already passed the state senate 38-0 in May, but it's awaiting a vote from the full assembly.

Having tested it on land, Seabound is now using a commercial container ship as its lab in a pilot project with the London-based shipping company Lomar Shipping.

Yes, there are paintings and ceramics on display, but there’s also a bed, a full kitchen, a bathtub. In early 2022, when Sandrine Abessera and Lubov Azria moved in, they immediately felt it was a space that needed to be shared. It was also about rethinking the typical art-viewing experience — a departure from the white-cube art gallery, said Ms. Abessera, 45, an artist and designer. “We were drawn to this idea of being an art gallery,” she said, but one “where you can sit and it’s not just a blank box.”
