WEF Promotes Eco-Friendly Crypto Mining Firm Crusoe Energy
In April 2023, the World Economic Forum (WEF) announced its partnership with Crusoe Energy, an eco-friendly crypto mining firm, to promote sustainable practices in the crypto industry. The partnership aims to explore the potential of using Crusoe Energy's technology to reduce greenhouse gas emissions produced by the crypto mining industry. Crusoe Energy's innovative solution involves converting natural gas flares, which are usually burned off as waste during oil extraction, into electricity to power its mining operations. By using this process, the company not only reduces the environmental impact of its operations but also increases the efficiency of energy usage. The WEF recognizes the potential of such solutions to make the crypto mining industry more sustainable and has included Crusoe Energy in its list of Technology Pioneers for 2021. The partnership between the WEF and Crusoe Energy is a step towards promoting sustainable practices in the crypto industry and reducing its carbon footprint.

Bored Ape Yacht Club wins legal battle
In April 2023, the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), won a legal battle against a group of individuals who attempted to mint counterfeit versions of the club's NFTs. The BAYC is a collection of unique digital art pieces featuring whimsical depictions of apes, with each NFT serving as a membership card to the exclusive club. The counterfeits were created in an attempt to replicate the success of the BAYC's NFTs, which have become highly sought-after in the crypto community. However, the BAYC took swift action, filing a lawsuit against the individuals responsible for creating the counterfeit NFTs. The legal victory is a significant win for the BAYC and other NFT collections as it sets a precedent for the protection of intellectual property in the crypto space. The ruling sends a clear message that the creation and sale of counterfeit NFTs will not be tolerated, and it highlights the importance of protecting the value and integrity of original NFT collections.
