Ford CEO Farley says UAW is holding up talks over EV battery plants

Finanças  Ford CEO Farley says UAW is holding up talks over EV battery plants  2 minutos atrás  Notícias do Bitcoin Ethereum  Members of the United Auto Workers union picket outside the Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, Michigan, on Sept. 26, 2023.  DETROIT — The United Auto Workers union is holding up negotiations with over future electric vehicle battery plants, Ford CEO Jim Farley said during a press briefing Friday.  “I believe we could have reached a compromise on pay and benefits, but so far the UAW is holding the deal hostage over battery plants,” he said after the UAW announced it would expand strikes to two additional assembly plants — one each for Ford and  Farley criticized the union for its targeted strike strategy, saying he feels the actions were “premeditated” and insinuating the union was never interested in reaching a deal before a Sept. 14 deadline.  “We have felt from the very beginning, between all the lines of our comments, that the original strike was premeditated and that everything is taking way too long,” he said. “That actual events are predetermined before they happen. Its been very frustrating.”  Farleys public criticism of the union is uncharacteristic for Ford, which is historically viewed as the most union-friendly company of

Apenas Bitcoin, Ethereum e Chainlink são significativamente descentralizados: Sergey Nazarov

A descentralização é o Santo Graal dos chavões do blockchain.  Embora seja incessantemente elogiado pelos defensores da criptografia em todo o mundo, outro hack no fim de semana revelou uma realidade não tão descentralizada, revivendo o debate mais antigo do setor.  O que realmente significa descentralização?  “Estamos usando a palavra adoção em vez de descentralização real”, diz Sergey Nazarov, cofundador da rede descentralizada de oráculos .  Para Nazarov, que aludiu ao colapso da Celsius, da Voyager, da FTX e, mais recentemente, da Mixin Network como exemplos de um “teatro de descentralização”, a palavra da moda está a ser usada principalmente “para atrair capital”.  O cofundador da Chainlink disse Descifrar ele vê apenas alguns projetos como significativamente descentralizados, citando apenas Chainlink, e .  Este último, é importante salientar, está a passar pelo seu próprio conjunto de problemas de centralização, com o chamado cartel Lido Finance a representar uma ameaça existencial à rede.  Para Nazarov, porém, a descentralização é um “mecanismo de segurança”.  Ele apontou o recorde de quatro anos da Chainlink sem hacks, “enquanto transferia US$ 8.5 trilhões em valor”, como um exemplo. “Os sistemas descentralizados permanecem seguros”, disse ele.  Descentralização: maçãs e laranjas  A descentralização, no entanto, vai além da segurança. Para outros, pode até assumir um tom mais democrático.  Matías

Bug descoberto no sistema de rastreamento de dívidas GMX rende prêmio de US$ 1 milhão ao Collider

A GMX, uma bolsa de futuros descentralizada, concedeu à equipe do Collider US$ 1 milhão por encontrar um bug em seu sistema de rastreamento de dívidas.  No ano passado, a GMX teve um bug que fez com que os provedores de liquidez GMX V1 recebessem cotações incorretas de valor justo para tokens, fazendo com que o preço do GLP, o token do provedor de liquidez da bolsa, se desviasse de seu valor justo.  “Nossa principal prioridade é a gestão de riscos. Para cada cargo, implementamos um extenso processo de due diligence, que abrange revisões minuciosas, contando não apenas com fontes externas, mas também com nossas próprias auditorias.”  Shlomo Kraus, chefe de pesquisa do Collider  Crypto.news entrou em contato com a equipe GMX para comentar.  Após esta notícia, os preços do GMX subiram, adicionando 4.5%, para US$ 38.13, de acordo com a CoinGecko. No entanto, o token caiu mais de 50% em relação ao máximo histórico de US$ 91.07 registrado em abril de 2023.  Anteriormente, um trader GMX não identificado explorou o spread mínimo do token Avalanche (AVAX) e os recursos de impacto zero no preço, manipulando os preços e, posteriormente, impactando negativamente os detentores de GLP que forneceram liquidez ao AVAX.

Circle intervém em caso da SEC contra Binance e defende status regulatório de Stablecoins

The SECs case against Binance centers on its claim that BUSD was sold as an investment contract, primarily because Binance marketed it as offering yield through reward programs.  In a recent development, renowned stablecoin issuer Circle has intervened in the US Securities and Exchange Commissions (SEC) case against Binance, arguing that stablecoins should not be classified as securities.  Circle Defends Binance via Stablecoins  The crux of Circle‘s argument is that financial trading laws should not be extended to stablecoins whose value is intrinsically tied to other assets. This intervention comes as the SEC charges Binance with multiple legal violations related to the trading of cryptocurrencies, including Solana’s SOL, Cardanos ADA, and the Binance stablecoin BUSD, which the SEC contends are unregistered securities.  Circle highlighted in a recent filing that payment stablecoins, such as BUSD and USDC, should not be subjected to SEC jurisdiction as they do not possess the essential features of an investment contract. In essence, Circle argues that the nature of these stablecoins, primarily designed for facilitating transactions and maintaining a stable value, sets them apart from traditional securities.  Central to Circles argument is the idea that users of payment stablecoins are not purchasing them with the expectation of making a profit. Instead,

A decisão do Fed sobre a taxa de juros de novembro está em jogo

A próxima vez que a Reserva Federal dos EUA determinará as taxas de juro de curto prazo será no dia 1 de Novembro. O presidente da Fed, Jerome Powell, deixou claro que a decisão dependerá dos dados.  On the one hand, the Fed may increase rates if upcoming data shows inflation is not slowing as fast as the Fed would like, and, in part, if the jobs market remains relatively hot.  There‘s some risk that a government shutdown could disrupt the very data the Fed wants to see. That’s because a government shutdown would pause most of the government‘s economic research function. As of the Fed’s September 20 decision, a few more policymakers expected rates to rise again in 2023 than those who saw rates remaining at current levels. Still, it appears to be a close call.  November Or December?  With potential uncertainty caused by the risk of a government shutdown, the UAW strike, rising energy costs and other factors, its possible the Fed elects to hold rates steady in November. This would help the Fed assess what results from the current uncertainty before any rate move.  Interest rate futures currently assess a fairly even split between a chance of a hike in November or
