Welcome back to The Mining Pod! For this week’s news roundup, Colin and Will dig into Tether’s lawsuit against Swan Bitcoin, the latest development in a now two-front legal dispute over the companies’ bitcoin mining joint venture. Plus, the U.S. government is issuing trade restrictions against Sophgo, a Chinese computer chip company helmed by Bitmain CEO Micree Zhan, and F2Pool might be filtering transactions from OFAC-sanctioned Bitcoin addresses again. And finally, for this week’s cry corner, a Bitcoin mining company’s guerrilla sales tactic to get Ethereum DeFi platform AAVE to invest its treasury into bitcoin mining.
