In one of its biggest expenditures resulting in a win for the candidate, Protect Progress spent roughly $1.7 million in media buys to back Alabama Representative Shomari Figures over Anthony Daniels in the primary for the state’s 2nd Congressional District.

The makeup of the US House of Representatives is a similar story, with 63 new members taking office in January.

On Nov. 27, stablecoin issuer Tether discontinued support for its euro-pegged stablecoin EURt (EURT) on all blockchains. Tether said the decision aligned with its broader strategic direction, citing Europe’s “evolving regulatory frameworks” on stablecoins. The stablecoin company said it was discontinuing support for EURT on all blockchains and would cease minting the tokens.
