The US military to access crypto security threats to the country

       A comprehensive examination of cryptocurrencies is being conducted by the military's innovation office in order to determine the risks that the emergence of digital assets poses to law enforcement and the nation's security. The research will last a year, and it will be carried out by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, also known as DARPA. DARPA is the organization that created the first internet-supporting technology. In part to assist law enforcement in clamping down on the illegitimate usage of digital assets, the company will provide tools that give the Pentagon a detailed insight of the inner workings of crypto marketplaces.

The report also said that institutional money has been pouring into the asset class, which has made the market less volatile and more stable. The BCG report used Coinbase's a...

      A late burst of buying erased some of the stock market’s losses Thursday, leaving indexes mixed on Wall Street though still on pace to end lower for the week. The Standard & Poor’s 500 rose 0.3% after having been down 1.3% earlier in the day. The benchmark index’s positive turn in the last 10 minutes of trading ended a four-day losing streak. The Dow Jones industrial average also bounced back from an early slide to finish with a 0.5% gain, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq composite fell 0.3%. Several measures of small and midsize companies also lost ground, including the Russell 2000, which closed 1.2% lower.
