On August 14th, Shell lost a five-year legal battle with environmental activists over an oil exploration project in South Africa, a case that went all the way to the countrys Supreme Court. The Constitutional Court ruled on Friday that the oil giant cannot renew its exploration rights off South Africas rugged, wild Indian Ocean coast. This ruling comes as other offshore oil exploration in South Africa faces challenges, while neighboring Namibia is working to develop crude oil discoveries near its maritime border. The decision could further embolden activists who have won several lawsuits against oil exploration companies. The legal battle began in 2021 when activists objected to planned seismic surveys by Shell and its local partners in whale-infested areas.The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) projects that U.S. oil production will average 13.83 million barrels per day in August, compared with 13.82 million barrels per day in July; and will average 13.77 million barrels per day in September.On August 14th, Futures News reported that, according to foreign media, Ukrainian Agriculture Minister Taras Vysotskyi stated on Friday that Ukraine could resume grain exports through Black Sea ports within a month if all parties implement the agreement to suspend attacks on civilian cargo ships.

Voyager Digital Holdings Inc., a cryptocurrency company, has been granted permission by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York to restore $270 million in client funds, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.


Voyager Digital Holdings Inc., a cryptocurrency company, has been granted permission by the US Bankruptcy Court in New York to restore $270 million in client funds, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.


According to the Journal, Judge Michael Wiles, who is in charge of Voyager's bankruptcy, said the firm had "sufficient grounds" to back up its claim that clients should be given access to the custodial account kept at Metropolitan Commercial Bank.


The business did not immediately respond to requests for comment.


Voyager, one of several businesses that struggled after the widespread turbulence on the cryptocurrency market, filed for Chapter 11 last month.


Voyager reported that it had between $1 billion and $10 billion in assets and liabilities, as well as over 100,000 creditors, in its bankruptcy case.


The Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp (FDIC) issued an injunction to the firm last week directing it to stop making "false and misleading" promises about the government's protection of its clients' cash.


The firm only had a bank account at Metropolitan Commercial Bank, according to the authorities, and none of the investors using its platform were covered by the FDIC.


During the COVID-19 epidemic, cryptocurrency lenders like Voyager saw a surge in business, luring depositors with high interest rates and convenient access to loans that conventional banks seldom ever gave. Lenders have suffered from the recent decline in cryptocurrency markets, which was brought on by the failure of two significant tokens in May.
