May 14th - According to sources, India has requested the United States to extend the waiver for Russian oil imports due to the ongoing conflict with Iran, which has lasted nearly 11 weeks and disrupted energy supplies. The US initially granted the green light to Russian crude in March, then expanded the authorization, extending it to May 16th, in an attempt to curb rising oil prices by increasing supply. Given the lack of signs of reconciliation in the Middle East conflict, New Delhi officials have warned Washington that securing supplies remains a top priority, as continued volatility in the oil market will trigger widespread ripple effects.

Crypto news site CoinDesk hires banker to explore potential sale

Crypto outlet CoinDesk Inc is exploring a full or partial sale of its business and has hired investment bank Lazard Ltd to lead the process, the media company’s chief executive said on Wednesday.


The crypto industry is going through one of its worst phases, with prices of major tokens at two-year lows and a string of bankruptcy filings from top players.


“My goal in hiring Lazard is to explore various options to attract growth capital to the CoinDesk business, which may include a partial or full sale,” CEO Kevin Worth told Reuters in a statement.


The development comes amid an industry turmoil, which began with the crash of stable coins TerraUSD and Luna early last year.


More recently, top crypto exchange FTX filed for bankruptcy, while publicly traded Coinbase Global Inc laid off a fifth of its workforce after slashing over 1,000 jobs last year.


New York-based CoinDesk launched in 2013 to track Bitcoin, but the platform has emerged as a key source of news and pricing benchmarks for the entire range of crypto currencies.


The company is wholly owned by crypto-focused venture capital firm Digital Currency Group, which also has interest in Coinbase, according to its website.
