Memecoin search interest and market performance steals spotlight from Bitcoin

October 24, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Adoption

Memecoins have surged in popularity, outpacing Bitcoin in both search interest and market gains, but how long the trend will last is unclear.

Memecoins are dominating the news cycle over their significant volatility and growing influence in the crypto ecosystem.

Memecoin search interest has been rising, while search volume for the term “Bitcoin” on Google has dropped to one-year lows. On a scale of 0 to 100, “Bitcoin” is currently at 33, while search volumes for “memecoin” are at 77.

Google Trends uses an index-like approach to represent search volume and not exact figures. Carlos Guzman, research analyst at cryptocurrency market maker GSR, told Cointelegraph this means volume is shown on a relative basis “where the index value is the highest search volume reached in the period selected.”

Scammers promote fake Uniswap L2 on Google amid Unichain hype

October 15, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Coin Telegraph

Google mistakenly promoted a fake version of the Unichain website that spammed users with requests to drain their wallets.

As the buzz around crypto exchange Uniswap’s new Ethereum layer 2 builds, scammers have decided to take advantage of the situation to promote a fake website on Google that claims to promote the network.

The website, originally located at unlchalindefi[.]com, claimed to be the official site for Uniswap’s Unichain network. But in reality, it did not offer a new network with user-friendly apps.

Instead, it stole all of the user’s cryptocurrency and transferred it to the site’s developers, who were not affiliated with Uniswap at all, according to warnings presented in the Web3 wallet MetaMask.

Three-Mile Island nuclear site reopening to power AI

September 21, 2024 Coin Telegraph

The site was ground zero for a partial nuclear meltdown in 1979, which affected a separate unit and caused nearby areas to evacuate.

Microsoft has signed a deal with the Constellation Energy Corporation — the owner of the Three-Mile Island nuclear site — to reopen the Pennsylvania facility and provide the tech company with clean energy for its artificial intelligence operations.

The 20-year deal between Microsoft and Constellation will see the restoration of the Three-Mile Island Unit 1 reactor to host the "Crane Clean Energy Center" as part of the tech giant's commitment to powering its artificial intelligence business through carbon-free power.

As part of the agreement, Constellation Energy will supply 835 megawatts of power to Microsoft and spend approximately $1.6 billion to bring the facility online — a goal the energy provider hopes to accomplish by 2028.
