Huawei was put on a trade blacklist that barred US suppliers from doing business with it in 2019. The import and sale of communications equipment from China's Huawei Technologies and ZTE was prohibited, according to US authorities, who made the announcement on Friday.

The decision, which comes during a protracted dispute between the two largest economies in the world, is the most recent in a series of steps taken to restrict Chinese telecom companies' access to American networks. In recent years, Chinese telecom firms and technologies have drawn increased suspicion from US officials. By ensuring that unreliable communications equipment is not used, the FCC is dedicated to safeguarding our national security authorized for use within our borders," said the commission's chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel in a...

  A governance proposal is now live on Aave that will prevent another price manipulation on the platform. Avraham Eisenberg, a Mango Market exploiter, attempted to reproduce his "very lucrative trading method" on the decentralised finance (DeFi) system Aave, but his attempt failed, costing him millions of dollars. According to on-chain analytics company Lookonchain, an address connected to Eisenberg deposited $40 million (approximately Rs. 325 crore) worth of USD Coin (USDC) into Aave with the goal of borrowing Curve (CRV) token. As a result, the price of CRV fell by around 26%, from $0.625 (approximately Rs. 51.14) over the previous week to $0.464 (about Rs. 37.34). However, the strategy didn't exactly work out as anticipated because the community supported CRV, purchasing the DeFi token, which caused its value to increase by 46 percent in the previous day to as much as $0.71. (roughly Rs. 57.63). Eisenberg may be misleading people into thinking that he is shorting CRV t...
