Larsen signed a letter alongside 88 U.S. corporate leaders supporting Harris, including prominent figures like Box CEO Aaron Levie and Yelp CEO Jeremy Stoppelman. This endorsement follows the earlier move by former Ripple board member Gene Sperling, who left the White House in August to join Harris&#39; campaign. The impact of the 2024 election on the crypto industry remains a subject of keen interest.</p><h3 id="cftc-charges-uniswap-for-illegal-derivatives-trading">CFTC Charges Uniswap for Illegal Derivatives Trading</h3><p>The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has <a href="https://www.cftc.gov/PressRoom/PressReleases/8961-24" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">charged Uniswap Labs</a> for offering illegal leveraged cryptocurrency trading to retail investors. Uniswap settled by paying a $175,000 fine and agreed to stop violating the Commodity Exchange Act. Two CFTC commissioners dissented despite the settlement, criticizing the enforcement as overreach. Commissioner Summer Mersinger called for clearer guidance for DeFi compliance, while Commissioner Caroline Pham questioned the evidence used in the case. Uniswap is one of the largest decentralized exchanges, managing $4.3 billion in assets.</p><h3 id="cz-banned-from-managing-binance-as-part-of-plea-deal">CZ Banned from Managing Binance as Part of Plea Deal</h3><p>Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, former CEO of Binance, has been <a href="https://www.axios.com/pro/fintech-deals/2024/09/04/binance-influence-changpeng-zhao" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">permanently banned</a> from managing the crypto exchange as part of a plea deal with U.S. authorities. The deal, part of a $4.3 billion settlement announced in November 2023, also required Zhao to step down as CEO and pay $50 million in fines. He pleaded guilty to one felony charge related to violations of the Bank Secrecy Act. Zhao’s replacement, Richard Teng, confirmed the lifetime ban, which exceeded the previously rumored three-year restriction.</p><h3 id="polygon-s-matic-upgraded-to-pol-boosting-token-utility">Polygon’s MATIC Upgraded to POL, Boosting Token Utility</h3><p>Polygon has <a href="https://x.com/0xPolygon/status/1828490520340865472" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">upgraded </a>its native cryptocurrency, MATIC, to a new token called Polygon Ecosystem Token (POL) on a 1:1 basis. This change, effective from September 4, positions POL as the network’s gas and staking token. Polygon Labs CEO, Marc Boiron emphasized that POL is now a &#34;hyperproductive&#34; token, generating fees from multiple sources beyond staking and gas, thus enhancing community participation in network growth. This upgrade is a key part of the broader Polygon 2.0 vision, aimed at providing &#34;infinite scalability&#34; across blockchains.</p><h3 id="mev-bot-takes-12m-loan-earns-only-20">MEV Bot Takes $12M Loan, Earns Only $20</h3><p>An &#34;unlucky&#34; MEV (<a href="https://x.com/ArkhamIntel/status/1831706536399220907" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Maximum Extractable Value</a>) bot took out a $12 million flash loan in Wrapped Ether (WETH) to execute a sandwich attack on a user trading $5,000 worth of Shuffle tokens. Despite undertaking 14 transactions across decentralized platforms Aave and Uniswap, the bot barely made a $20 profit after gas fees. The attack, completed in about 12 seconds, highlights the risks of sandwich attacks, where bots manipulate transaction prices. In this case, the bot&#39;s effort fell below expectations.</p><h3 id="telegram-disables-people-nearby-feature-amid-safety-concerns">Telegram Disables People Nearby” Feature Amid Safety Concerns</h3><p>Telegram founder Pavel Durov <a href="https://t.me/durov/343" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">announced </a>on Sept. 6 that the platform is disabling its &#34;People Nearby&#34; feature, citing security concerns after reports of its misuse by malicious actors. This change is part of a broader effort to improve Telegram&#39;s content moderation and safety. While Durov emphasized that only a small fraction of users exploited these features, he acknowledged the disproportionate risk posed to the wider community. The personal geolocation tool will be replaced by a “businesses nearby” option to enhance user privacy and security.</p><h2 id="header-1">NEWS FROM THE MELEGASWAP ECOSYSTEM</h2><h3 id="a-href-https-www-melegaswap-finance-babymarco-rel-noopener-noreferrer-nofollow-babymarco-babymarco-farm-pool-listed-on-melegaswap-a"><a href="https://www.melegaswap.finance/babymarco" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BabyMarco (BabyMarco) Farm &amp; Pool Listed on MelegaSwap</a></h3><p>The Baby Token of the MelegaSwap ecosystem that rewards holders with $MARCO and much more.</p><h3 id="scoop-presale-is-live-on-melegaswap">$SCOOP Presale is live on MelegaSwap </h3><p>Fatman Scoop (SCOOP) on BNB CHAIN is a meme token that is a tribute to a Hip-Hop icon who, with his characteristic hype, makes and will make the world dance for generations.</p><h3 id="a-href-https-waxchain-io-rel-noopener-noreferrer-nofollow-waxchain-wax-farm-pool-listed-on-melegaswap-a"><a href="https://waxchain.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">WAXCHAIN (WAX) Farm &amp; Pool Listed on MelegaSwap</a></h3><p>WAXCHAIN is not just about a token but about building a comprehensive ecosystem that supports secure, efficient, profitable, humanitarian support and entertaining digital communications.</p><h3 id="a-href-https-www-farmercoin-space-rel-noopener-noreferrer-nofollow-melegaswap-secured-a-top-tier-marketing-partnership-with-the-farm-project-a"><a href="https://www.farmercoin.space/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">MelegaSwap Secured a Top Tier Marketing Partnership with the $FARM Project</a></h3><p>A MULTICHAIN project designed to bring the value and importance of agricultural work to blockchain to support the sector and its operators with the new opportunities digital asset technology offers.</p><h3 id="a-href-https-tongue-cloud-rel-noopener-noreferrer-nofollow-tongue-tongue-farm-pool-listed-on-melegaswap-a"><a href="https://tongue.cloud/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">TONGUE (TONGUE) Farm &amp; Pool Listed on MelegaSwap</a></h3><p>Unprecedented viral power.
