Choosing the mining algorithm is a crucial decision for a cryptocurrency project, as it determines the rules and requirements necessary to create and secure the blockchain network, other than how the participants are rewarded with newly minted coins. Examples of other popular mining algorithms include Ethash, used by the Ethereum blockchain, and CryptoNight, used by the Monero Network.

Changpeng Zhao, co-founder and chief executive officer of crypto exchange Binance, in a recent tweet on X – formerly X – told the Binance community members to anticipate a BNB burn in a few days. The upcoming burn will be the fourth this year, after a previous burn in July. Solana (SOL) investment product inflows came in second, with $5 million, as the only other asset to show inflows. Per CoinShares, this is its 27th week of inflows, with only four weeks of outflows for 2023, making it “the most loved altcoin this year.” On the flip side, Ether (ETH) products experienced outflows in the amount of $1.5 million. This marks its seventh consecutive week of outflows and, according to CoinShares, solidifies its status as “the least loved altcoin.” Related: CoinShares says US not lagging in crypto adoption and regulationFlows for other altcoin investment products, including XRP (XRP) — which saw more inflows than Solana during the previous week — were negative and minimal. CoinShares analysts attributed the lack of altcoin movement alongside Bitcoin’s trend-breaking momentum to a combination of factors:“We believe the inflows are a reaction to a combination of positive price momentum, fears over US government debt prices and the recent quagmire over government funding.”The quagmire referenced by CoinShares involves the ongoing negotiations over U.S. government funding. Earlier in the previous week’s cycle, fears over a funding bill stalemate led to predictions that the U.S. government would shut down on Oct. 2. However, a last-minute effort by Senate leaders allowed for the passage of a stopgap that ensures funding through Nov. 17. Whether Congress and the president can come to terms to fund the government beyond the current measure’s expiration remains to be seen. Geographically, Germany, Canada and Switzerland led the charge for the week, with digital asset investment product inflows amounting to $17.7 million, $17.2 million and $7.4 million, respectively. Australia and France held the line, metaphorically speaking, with $100,000 for the former and zero for the latter. The United States, however, registered $18.5 million in outflows, with Sweden and Brazil following suit at $1.8 million and $900,000 outgoing, respectively. 12 New Cryptocurrency to Invest in 2023-New Coin ...Commenting on Subsquid’s open-source approach to data accessibility, Flare Co-Founder and CEO Hugo Philion said, “As we look to provide developers with the best possible tools, we have been very impressed with Subsquid’s commitment to open source approach and the speed of the indexing system they have built from the ground up.” On-chain data from Arkham Intelligence revealed that Chiliz’s (CHZ) purpose for withdrawing $3.5 million from its multi-sig wallet has been identified.
