However, they failed to reach an agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding their pending charges.

Crypto Chaos

Despite the second-largest bank failure in US history, the Federal Reserve continued its interest rate hike strategy last week. This caused markets to react by pricing in continued monetary tightening, pushing back their expectations of rate decreases to 2024. Some have perceived this move as necessary to combat inflation, even if it comes at the cost of breaking the banking sector.

"It's been a tough week for EXTREMUM, losing to Evil Geniuses was obviously one of the worst-case scenarios, since the main goal of our organization and our team was to qualify for the Major," the organization

fnatic sign smooya on trial

fnatic have announced the signing of Owen "⁠smooya⁠" Butterfield in a deal that will see the Brit trial for the team for at least three months, with an option to extend beyond that point. The news comes within hours of the AWPer's departure from Movistar Riders, where he had been sitting on the bench for two months.
