The miner who mined block # 13307440 in the Ethereum network returned 7.6 thousand ETH ($ 23.2 million at the time of the transaction) to the Bitfinex crypto exchange, which were erroneously debited from the trading platform as a commission for transferring $ 100 thousand USDT. This was announced on Twitter by the Diversifi decentralized crypto exchange, which was the recipient of the transfer.

Bitfinex CEO Paolo Ardoino confirmed a full refund and thanked Binance for helping to get in touch with the miner who processed the transaction.
Great news, and, most importantly, it perfectly characterizes the situation on the crypto market, which is often called "shadow".

The House of Representatives will issue a verdict on the acclaimed US Infrastructure Act this week.
And opinions, of course, were divided. Speaker Nancy Pelosi expects the infrastructure bill to be passed unconditionally, and Democrats still have not agreed on whether to pass the bill before the $ 3.5 trillion follow-up package is finally agreed.
Pelosi expressed confidence that the law will be passed after the date is announced on Sunday, September 26, saying, "Let me just say that we are going to pass the law this week." Earlier in the day, she reportedly indicated that she would not have put the bill to the vote if she had not believed it would be passed.
According to the politician, the House is expected to vote on Thursday, September 30 to pass the Biden administration's controversial $ 1 trillion bipartisan bill.
"On September 27th, we will start discussions on bipartisan infrastructure infrastructure on the floor of the house and vote on it on Thursday, September 30th."
Although the bill passed through the Senate with bipartisan support on Aug.10, the bill contains provisions requiring strict counterparty reporting requirements for decentralized network validators and software developers who will not have the information they need to comply.
Although the bill passed on August 10, the amendment introduced by Senator Pat Toomey, which saw bipartisan support from Senators Cynthia Lummis, Rob Portman, Mark Warner, Kirsten Cinema, and Ron Wyden, sought to exempt validators, developers, and node operators from the law.
To the chagrin of the crypto community, Senator Richard Shelby's only objection prevented an amendment to the law.
However, the infrastructure bill is facing opposition from some lawmakers, who believe it should be delayed pending negotiations on a follow-up $ 3.5 trillion Social Security and Climate Bill.
As the price of the second bill worries some Democrats, Pelosi indicated that the bill could be cut.
“We are now working with the Senate and the White House to amend this historic legislation,” she said. “[$ 3.5 trillion] is the figure sent to us by the Senate and the President. Obviously, there must be some changes in the negotiations, and the sooner the better so that we can reach a consensus and move forward. "
September 30 is very close, and we are looking forward to the development of events that are, of course, related not only to the United States, but also to the entire Crete community.

Cryptocurrency markets leap forward after Evergrande announced its intention to pay off its debt
Chinese real estate giant Evergrande has been able to strike deals with bondholders to avoid defaulting on its huge loan obligations.
Evergrande's potential $ 305 billion debt default was essentially a ticking time bomb looming over the global financial market (spoiler: not just crypto), and some have argued that this is an opportunity for Lehman Brothers in China. However, the company is safe in the short term, and the news coincided with an 11.3% rise in the bitcoin price on Tuesday.
The jump also followed comments from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, who said the central bank plans to maintain a ridiculous volume of monthly bond purchases for the foreseeable future. Both reports suggest that FUD linked to Evergrande and the Fed's spending plans could now be delayed.
The old FUD, a new drop in BTC prices - a "ban" on cryptocurrency in China for several weeks led to a drop in bitcoin prices by $ 42 thousand and a sharp price fluctuation throughout the week.
Yes, again the People's Bank of China is to blame, which published the updated guidance on September 15, but posted it online on Friday.
It seems odd that the market has reacted to China's cryptocurrency ban again, as the local government has done nothing recently to spark interest in digital assets in the country. But, if you think about it, there is nothing unexpected in this.
In another market-leading country, the United States, by the end of the week, reports emerged that the Biden administration intended to appoint a Kazakh-American lawyer, academic, and former political adviser, Saulu Omarova, to head the Office of the Comptroller (OCC).
Omarova is a tough crypto critic who has a strong negative attitude towards large banks and has previously promised to "end banking as we know it." She is currently a law professor at Cornell Law School and is expected to restrict cryptocurrency with tighter regulation as she believes the industry threatens economic stability. Well, Cynthia Lummis has a worthy rival and the battle promises to be very interesting.
The world's largest crypto exchange, Binance, has again restricted its services in another country after crypto investors in Australia were notified that they have 90 days to close their positions in leveraged futures, options and tokens.
As of Friday, Australians can no longer increase or open new derivatives positions on Binance. However, they will still be able to top up their margin balances to prevent liquidation and margin calls at the same time.
According to the latest announcement, Binance's crypto futures and options market will cease to exist on December 23 as the firm restructures itself to meet its regulatory goals.
“We are committed to our industry for the long term and we want our products to be welcomed by users and local regulators,” a Binance spokesperson said.
People says
We have absolutely no intention of using cryptocurrencies. […] On the contrary, we have a separate war, a separate struggle against them. We will never support [cryptocurrencies] because we will move forward with our own currency, which has its own personality. "

“A painting by Matisse can be worth $ 100 million because a small number of people decide it is worth $ 100 million. More than 150 million people around the world have decided that Bitcoin is worth something. That's enough for me. "
