Ethereum Miners’ Profit surges by 98%

In August, Ethereum miners received $285.1 million in revenue, the highest in two years.

Compared to last month, profit increased by 98.2%, the resource The Block notes. This happened amid a record increase in online transfer fees. For more than a month, their average level has been above $2, and in early September it peaked at $15.

The digital yuan will become a complete analogue of paper money

The digital yuan is legally fully consistent with fiat currency, says Fan Yifei, deputy chairman of the People’s Bank of China.

In an article written for Financial News, the official outlined the basic principles for regulating the digital yuan. According to him, digital currency is part of the supply of paper notes and coins, and therefore “must comply with laws and regulations related to money management.”

Fan emphasized that the digital currency will be accepted throughout the country and “no company or individual can refuse to accept it.”

The official also added that the digital yuan should be regulated by anti-money laundering and terrorist financing laws.
