PANews reported on November 9th that, according to Cryptoslate, in response to a chart shared by Charles Edwards, co-founder of Capriole Investments, on the X platform, suggesting that Bitcoin OGs (Original Gold Holders) are cashing out , on-chain analyst Willy Woo tweeted that every move by OGs should not be interpreted as a sell-off. He pointed out three key points that are often mistaken for sales but may be unrelated to price-driven liquidation: Address upgrade: Many OG holders are moving their tokens from traditional addresses to Taproot addresses for security (not for cashing out). Custody rotation: Tokens may be transferred to institutional custody (such as Sygnum Bank) to better protect against physical theft and lockpicking attacks, or used as collateral for lending without having to be sold. Participating Treasury: Some “OG” tokens are being transferred to equity packaging companies or treasury companies, enabling holders to leverage, borrow, or optimize their holdings without triggering taxable sales. Woo points out that on-chain data only shows the "transfer" of tokens and cannot reflect the true intentions behind the transactions. Therefore, although the charts show that Bitcoin leaders are "selling," the resilience shown by the price during this large-scale sell-off highlights the market's absorption capacity.PANews reported on November 9th that, according to Cryptoslate, in response to a chart shared by Charles Edwards, co-founder of Capriole Investments, on the X platform, suggesting that Bitcoin OGs (Original Gold Holders) are cashing out , on-chain analyst Willy Woo tweeted that every move by OGs should not be interpreted as a sell-off.

Analyst Willy Woo: Not every active session on Bitcoin OG is a sell-off; there are three things that are often mistaken for a sell-off.

Tether’s Uruguay Bitcoin Mining Plans Could Be Over

The post Tether’s Uruguay Bitcoin Mining Plans Could Be Over appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Tether’s push to expand Bitcoin mining in Uruguay has stalled after the state utility cut power to its local partner.  UTE, the national electricity provider, halted supply in late July over unpaid bills totaling nearly $5 million. The dispute also froze expansion efforts in the country’s Flores and Florida regions. Tether’s LATAM Bitcoin Mining Expansion Plan Hits Major Roadblock The USDT stablecoin operator entered Uruguay in 2023, promising renewable-powered Bitcoin mining. Uruguay’s abundant wind and hydro capacity made it a prime site for sustainable energy projects.  Sponsored Sponsored Tether partnered with a licensed operator, Microfin, to build facilities and secure long-term electricity deals. However, tension grew as costs and guarantees mounted. UTE required large deposits to secure the energy contracts, while Microfin sought tariff adjustments.  Negotiations led to a memorandum of understanding in June, but arrears remained unresolved. The failure to settle debts triggered the shutdown. Crypto Twitter Criticizing Tether’s Uruguay Backtrack. Source: X Tether had announced broader plans to control about 1% of the global Bitcoin network. The firm pledged hundreds of millions of dollars in South American mining projects, including sites in Paraguay.  The Uruguayan expansion was meant to anchor those ambitions. The company has emphasized that USDT reserves remain separate from its operational ventures. Mining revenue and energy assets are intended to diversify Tether’s business beyond stablecoin issuance.  Earlier this year, it also acquired a stake in Latin American agribusiness to link stablecoin use to commodity trade. The setback in Uruguay raises questions about the viability of energy-intensive mining in high-cost markets. While Paraguay and Texas have attracted miners with cheaper electricity, Uruguay’s grid is stricter on guarantees.  For now, Tether’s talks with UTE continue, but the timeline for restarting operations is unclear. Overall, this highlights the risks in tying stablecoin companies to volatile mining ventures. Tether…
