Binance, issuer of stablecoin BUSD, to discontinue support for USDC, USDP and TUSD
Binance, the issuer of the world's third-largest stablecoin, said on Monday it will convert customers' holdings in three rival stablecoins USD Coin (USDC), Pax Dollar (USDP) and True USD (TUSD) into its own stablecoin (BUSD) on September 29 to "enhance liquidity and capital-efficiency for users" in a move that has baffled many enthusiasts.
As a result of the move, the world's largest crypto exchange said it will remove spot, future and margin trading with USDC, USDP and TUSD pairs.
"This will not affect users' choice of withdrawal: Users will continue to be able to withdraw funds in USDC, USDP and TUSD at a 1:1 ratio to their BUSD-denominated account balance," said Binance in a blog post.
Issued by Circle -- a $9 billion firm that counts BlackRock, Fidelity, FTX and Accel among its backers -- USDC is the second-largest stablecoin with a market cap of over $50 billion. The stablecoin is used in transactions worth over $5.5 billion a day, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
BUSD, Binance's stablecoin, currently has a market cap of $19.3 billion. Its daily volume trades jumped over 56% on the news to over $6.5 billion, according to CoinMarketCap.
"Based on market activity, it would seem much of this transition has already passed and while optimizing dollar liquidity on the world’s largest exchange may carry benefits, the paradigm does raise potential market conduct questions," a Circle spokesperson told TechCrunch.
ReutersBinance to convert users' USDC into its own stablecoin
Binance said it will remove and cease any trading on spot pairs that include USDC, USDP and TUSD; it will start the conversion on Sept. 29. USDC, which is principally operated by Circle Internet Financial and is the second largest stablecoin, has a nearly $51.9 billion market capitalization.

TechCrunchSolar Foods wants to replace industrial animal farming with a high-tech protein harvest
Fermentation has a long, rich history in food production, from beer and wine to yogurt and cheese, leavened bread and coffee, miso and tempeh, sauerkraut and kimchi, to name just a few of the tasty things we can consume thanks to a chemical process thought to date back to the Neolithic period. The industrial biotech startup is working on bringing a novel protein to market -- one it says will offer a nutritious, sustainable alternative to animal-derived proteins. The product, a single-cell protein it's branding Solein, is essentially an edible bacteria; a single-cell microbe grown using gas fermentation.

Exclusive-Deal partner for Trump's Truth Social fails to get backing for SPAC extension -sources
The blank-check acquisition firm that agreed to merge with Donald Trump's social media company failed to secure enough shareholder support for a one-year extension to complete the deal, people familiar with the matter said on Monday. At stake is a $1.3 billion cash infusion that Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), which operates the former U.S. president's Truth Social app, stands to receive from Digital World Acquisition Corp, the special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) that inked a deal last October to take TMTG public. Digital World had been hoping that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which is reviewing its disclosures on the deal, would have given its blessing by now for the transaction to proceed.

Euro plunges to new 20-year low after Russian gas halt
LONDON (Reuters) -The euro sank below $0.99 to a new 20-year low on Monday after Russia's halt to gas supplies down its main pipeline to Europe heightened fears about a deepening energy crisis across the region. The euro has been increasingly correlated with natural gas prices in recent months, with the former falling when prices of the energy source rise. Europe is scrambling to wean itself off Russian supplies and build up reserves before the cold winter months, but investors reckon the hit to its economy will be huge.

Analysis-Big rate hike won't save euro as energy shock deepens
The hit to the euro zone economy and its currency from a deepening energy crisis is so severe that more aggressive monetary tightening from the European Central Bank will do little to stop the euro's slide. The euro on Monday fell below $0.99 for the first time since late 2002 after Russia halted the supply of natural gas through the main pipeline to Europe, sending energy prices soaring and heightening fears about a supply crunch. The weakening currency will be front and centre for the European Central Bank meeting on Thursday since a weak euro - down 13% in 2022 -- could make already record-high inflation worse through more expensive imports.
