1. The price of bitcoin dropped below $8,000 per coin Tuesday morning, its lowest price in a week. Despite the drop so far today bitcoin has still seen 22 percent growth this month. Other cryptocurrencies have taken a hit as well: All of the top 10 coins by market cap were down between 3 and 11 percent on the day. –COIN TELEGRAPH

2. US Securities and Exchange Commissioner (SEC) Hester Peirce has become a celebrity in the crypto community. Peirce recently dissented with the SEC's disapproval of a proposed rule change that would have allowed for the creation of a new ETF. The rule change was proposed by the Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust. Peirce not only disagreed with her fellow commissioners, but also said the SEC has failed to apply legislative standards properly, as they apply to bitcoin. -BITCOINIST

4. The Dubai International Financial Centre Court has teamed with Smart Dubai to create a blockchain system to aid verification of court judgments for cross-border enforcement. Dubbed as the world's first "Court of the Blockchain," the partnership is seen as the first step toward creating a blockchain-powered judicial system. The current effort aims to remove document duplications and drive other efficiencies across the legal ecosystem. –ARABIAN BUSINESS

5. Gibraltar United, a member of Gibraltar's Premier Division, will pay its players – at least in part – in cryptocurrency, the team's owner announced. It was not specified what type of cryptocurrency the players would receive. While it may seem odd, Gibraltar's government has been pro-cryptocurrency and blockchain, reducing regulations for companies to begin business there. -BITCOINIST

6. In a new survey, 88 percent of cryptocurrency exchange operators want industry regulation. The desire comes from a fear that the market may experience a major crash and a substantial devaluation of assets - worse than what has already happened in the first half of 2018. With that said, the exchange operators do not want overly restrictive regulations that could hurt innovation. -BITCOINIST

7. Bitcoin miners believe bitcoin will jump in the near future. The reasoning comes down to increased regulation around the world and a positive 50-day moving average. -FORBES

8. A bitcoin ETF still seems elusive. Market Watch looks at the three biggest hurdles still remaining. –MARKET WATCH

9. A new bitcoin mine has brought jobs to the small town of Rockdale, Texas. The mine will bring an estimated 300 to 500 jobs, much needed in a place that saw two large manufacturing plants close in the past decade. -KXAN

10. Check out this interview with Careca Akarue, CEO of Eurufly, a blockchain firm based in Nigeria. He discusses how he came to blockchain and how the technology can help transform Africa. –IRISH TECH NEWS
