Despite China&#8217;s ongoing ban on cryptocurrency trading and mining, the country continues to dominate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40820546/bitcoin-mining-difficulty-hits-all-time-high-of-92-67-trillion-as-hash-rate-surges">the Bitcoin network</a>, controlling 55% of the global hashrate, according to data shared by Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant.
What Happened: This information is corroborated by Bitbo's mining data, which shows China's sustained influence over Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) mining pools.
In contrast, U.S.-based mining companies manage approximately 40% of the global Bitcoin hashrate, signaling a significant but still smaller share of the market.
Ju&#8217;s tweet highlighted the growing presence of U.S. mining pools, which primarily cater to large-scale institutional miners across North America.

Meanwhile, Chinese pools support relatively smaller miners throughout Asia, maintaining their dominance in the sector despite the country's stringent regulatory stance against cryptocurrency. 
&#8220;Bitcoin hashrate dominance is shifting to U.S. mining companies.&#8221; founder and CEO of CryptoQuant Ki Young Ju <a href="https://x.com/ki_young_ju/status/1838140712736711110">said</a>.
He noted that while Chinese mining pools operate over half of the network, U.S. pools are rapidly catching up, primarily catering to institutional miners within America.
According to Bitbo <a href="https://charts.bitbo.io/miner-monthly-revenue/">data</a>, miner revenue in August totaled $827.56 million, marking a decline of over 10.5% from July&#8217;s $927.35 million. However, this figure represents a 5% increase compared to August 2023. 
August 2024 saw the lowest monthly revenue for Bitcoin miners since September 2023, when earnings were $727.79 million, with Bitcoin trading near $25,000 throughout the month.
Additionally, the amount of Bitcoin mined in August slightly decreased, from approximately 14,725 BTC in July to 13,843 BTC.
What&#8217;s Next: These developments will be closely watched ahead of Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/digital-assets/agenda/">Future of Digital Assets</a> event on Nov. 19.

<h2>How Are Analyst Ratings Determined?</h2>
Within the domain of banking and financial systems, analysts specialize in reporting for specific stocks or defined sectors. Their work involves attending company conference calls and meetings, researching company financial statements, and communicating with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically assess and rate each stock once per quarter.
Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers. It is important to keep in mind that while stock and sector analysts are specialists, they are also human and can only forecast their beliefs to traders.

Citigroup, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>) shares are trading slightly higher on Monday. 
The company&#8217;s expansion plans in China have reportedly encountered a setback with U.S. regulators after the Federal Reserve imposed a penalty on the bank for issues related to data management and risk controls, reported Bloomberg. 
Notably, in July, the U.S. bank regulators, the Federal Reserve Board, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) fined&nbsp;Citigroup&nbsp;$135.6 million for failing&nbsp;to<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39735239/fed-penalizes-citigroup-136m-for-data-management-failures" rel="noreferrer noopener"> comply with a 2020 enforcement action</a>.
The report highlighted that the bank is experiencing delays in establishing a standalone securities firm because it has not yet received a clearance letter from the Fed, which is necessary for Chinese authorities.
In a statement to Bloomberg, the bank said it cannot comment on its conversations with regulators regarding the ongoing process of receiving a securities license in China.&nbsp;
It was reported in January 2024 that the bank planned to launch its fully-owned China investment banking unit by the close of this year and aims to recruit approximately&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/01/36488201/citi-reportedly-plans-to-launch-wholly-owned-china-unit-amid-economic-slowdown-is-the-risk-worth" rel="noreferrer noopener">30 individuals for the venture</a>.
The team was expected to grow in the coming years with a combination of local hires and transfers from Hong Kong and other markets.
Citigroup has been under scrutiny for its inadequate progress in addressing data management problems identified in the 2020 enforcement action.
In 2020, the bank was fined $400 million for ongoing deficiencies in risk management and data quality controls.
Investors can gain access to the stock via&nbsp;First Trust Nasdaq Bank ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FTXO#NASDAQ">FTXO</a>)&nbsp;and&nbsp;Series Portfolios Trust InfraCap Equity Income Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICAP#NYSE">ICAP</a>).

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) could be on track for another major milestone, potentially securing the title of the top-selling vehicle in the U.S. for 2024, building on its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/01/36768363/tesla-q4-earnings-highlights-revenue-miss-eps-miss-model-y-a-global-bestseller-next-gen-vehicle-upd">global dominance in 2023.</a>
What Happened: The Tesla Model Y has accomplished many milestones for Tesla and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/electric-vehicles">electric vehicle sector.</a>
The Model Y is the bestselling electric vehicle <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/01/36496558/tesla-model-y-is-bestselling-electric-vehicle-of-all-time-passing-a-record-previously-held-by-the-mu">of all time, </a>and in 2023, it became the first electric vehicle to claim the title of global bestselling vehicle.
While the Model Y was the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36615986/top-10-bestselling-electric-vehicles-in-u-s-2023-where-do-tesla-ford-general-motors-rank"> bestselling electric vehicle </a>in the United States in 2023, it fell short of claiming the title of the top-selling vehicle overall.
That title belongs to the F-150 pickup truck from Ford Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), a vehicle that has won the title of bestselling U.S. vehicle for more than 40 straight years.
A new <a href="https://wolfstreet.com/2024/09/20/tesla-model-y-now-a-hair-from-1-bestselling-model-closing-in-on-toyota-rav4-former-1-ford-f-150-is-3-stellantis-plunges-off-greed-cliff-ev-share-rises-to-9-0/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report </a>from Wolf Street, using registration data, shows that Model Y is on pace to win the title in 2024.
Here are the top-selling vehicles in the U.S. through the first six months of 2024, according to the report:
<ol>
<li>Toyota RAV4</li>
<li>Tesla Model Y</li>
<li>F-150</li>
<li>CR-V Honda</li>
<li>Chevy Silverado 1500</li>
<li>Toyota Camry</li>
<li>Toyota Corolla</li>
<li>GMS Sierra 1500</li>
<li>Nissan Rogue</li>
<li>Chevrolet Equinox</li>
</ol>
The RAV4 from Toyota Motor Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) currently tops the list, with the Model Y closely behind, and both vehicles are set to surpass the long-running streak of the F-150.
Several other pickup trucks appear on the list, and some have dropped off as consumer appetite for different vehicle models may be changing.

Why It's Important: Winning the title of the bestselling vehicle in the world for 2023 was a major accomplishment for Tesla.
While Tesla CEO Elon Musk was confident years ago that this would be the case, many laughed and said there was no way this would happen.
The U.S., home of the Big 3 automakers Ford, General Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), and Chrysler, has been slower to transition to electric vehicles than other regions around the world.
A win as the top-selling vehicle in the U.S. in 2024 or even simply passing the F-150 pickup truck could be major milestones for Tesla and the electric vehicle industry overall.
The Model Y was tied with RAV4 at 2.8% market share for the first half of 2024. This marked the highest share for the Model Y and was up from 2.6% in the first quarter.
Two more quarters will determine the winner of the title for the top-selling vehicle in the U.S. for the full year.
For Tesla, securing this title could serve as one of several catalysts to energize investors and analysts as the company approaches the close of the fiscal year. The new data arrives just in time for what promises to be an exciting October.
Tesla will report global deliveries and production figures for the third quarter in October and host its Robotaxi Day. The company is also expected to report third-quarter financial results during the month.
TSLA Price Action: Tesla stock is up 4.7% Monday to $249.65 versus a 52-week trading range of $138.80 to $271.00. Tesla stock is down 1% year-to-date in 2024.

Tesla Model Y Could End Ford's Long Reign As America's Top-Selling Vehicle: Will 2024 Be The Year?

Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) on-chain data is showing key support levels that suggest a potential turning point for the cryptocurrency, indicating a positive outlook for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40963556/experts-predict-bitcoin-surge-to-65-000-as-crypto-market-remains-steady">long-term trajectory of its price</a>.
What Happened: According to <a href="https://cryptoquant.com/insights/quicktake/66f0e6b342286374a37c0916-Long-Term-On-Chain-Support-Levels-Signal-a-Positive-Outlook-for-Bitcoin?utm_source=telegram&amp;utm_medium=sns&amp;utm_campaign=quicktake&amp;utm_content=avocado_onchain">data</a> from CryptoQuant, several on-chain metrics have hit critical support points, historically marking the end of bear markets and the beginning of new bull runs.
One of the most significant metrics is the 7-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the Fund Flow Ratio, which has rebounded after touching 0.05. 
Historically, this level has served as a crucial support line, where fund flow stops declining and begins to recover. 
The current rebound suggests that investors are returning to exchanges, a sign that often signals the conclusion of bear markets or halving events and ushers in long-term bullish momentum for Bitcoin. 
Past rebounds from this level have led to substantial price increases.
Additionally, the 30-day SMA of the Estimated Leverage Ratio has also reached a key support range between 0.15 and 0.175, with signs of recovery. 
This metric, which tracks the amount of leverage in Bitcoin trading, gained importance following the approval of Bitcoin futures ETFs after 2021 and continues to play a crucial role in analyzing market sentiment. 
Recent positive news around Bitcoin options trading further strengthens the bullish implications of this support level.
The 30-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of Binary Coin Days Destroyed (CDD) has also been moving between 0.1 and 0.3, suggesting that long-term Bitcoin holders are accumulating more of the asset.

Historically, when Binary CDD spikes significantly, it signals the end of a bull market. 
The current accumulation phase indicates that long-term investors remain confident, viewing the present levels as an opportunity to acquire Bitcoin before the next potential price rally.
The confluence of these on-chain metrics reaching key support levels presents a positive long-term outlook for Bitcoin. 
These signals suggest that the cryptocurrency may be entering a phase of sustained growth, as has been the case in past cycles following similar data patterns.
This bullish sentiment around Bitcoin will be a focal point at Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/digital-assets/agenda/">Future of Digital Assets </a>event on Nov. 19, where leading figures from the cryptocurrency and blockchain industries will explore the future of digital assets and decentralized finance.

Bitcoin's On-Chain Metrics Are Turning Bullish: What Is Going On?

Traders are leaning toward the possibility that Caroline Ellison, former CEO of Alameda Research, will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/39044786/former-ftx-executive-ryan-salame-sentenced-to-over-7-years-in-prison">avoid prison time</a>.
What Happened: Polymarket prediction market <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/caroline-ellison-prison-time?tid=1727092533397">data</a> shows a 45% chance that Ellison will receive no prison time, with $153,679 bet on this outcome.
Traders are currently betting 49 cents for &#8220;Yes&#8221; and 59 cents for &#8220;No&#8221; regarding her receiving no jail time.
The market also predicts other potential outcomes for her sentencing, with a 21% chance that Ellison will serve between 1-11 months in prison. 
This category has seen $52,225 wagered, with a 23-cent price for &#8220;Yes&#8221; and an 82-cent price for &#8220;No.&#8221; 
Additionally, there is a 24% chance she will serve between 12-23 months, with $27,498 bet, and respective prices of 28 cents for &#8220;Yes&#8221; and 81 cents for &#8220;No.&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/digital-assets/ "><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="300" height="250" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/27091545/Benzinga-conference.gif" alt="Benzinga future of digital assets conference" class="wp-image-267246" /></a></figure>

The smallest probability, at just 6%, is for a sentence of 24-35 months, with $27,724 staked and a price of 6 cents for &#8220;Yes&#8221; and 94.1 cents for &#8220;No.&#8221;
Ellison&#8217;s sentencing hearing is set for Tuesday in New York, where her legal team has been pushing for supervised release, citing her &#8220;extraordinary cooperation&#8221; with prosecutors. 
Ellison had previously filed a plea deal shortly after her former colleague and FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried was charged in December 2022, agreeing to fully cooperate with authorities in exchange for leniency.
Traders are betting heavily on the possibility of no jail time, which reflects the defense&#8217;s argument for leniency, but they have also placed substantial wagers on short-term prison outcomes, highlighting the uncertainty surrounding the case.
What&#8217;s Next: These developments will be closely watched ahead of Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/digital-assets/agenda/">Future of Digital Assets</a> event on Nov. 19, where experts are expected to discuss the regulatory and legal impacts of major cases like Ellison's on the broader crypto industry.

Polymarket Traders Predict 45% Chance Of No Prison Time For Former FTX CEO Caroline Ellison

In celebration of PlayStation&#8217;s 30th anniversary, Sony Group Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONY#NYSE">SONY</a>) unveiled new limited-edition versions of the PS5 and its accessories, marking a nostalgic nod to the original PlayStation launched on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/playstation">Dec. 3, 1994. </a>
Leaks from reliable insider billbil-kun have reportedly <a href="https://www.dealabs.com/magazine/on-vous-devoile-les-prix-de-quelques-references-des-editions-limitees-du-30eme-anniversaire-playstation-59567">learned</a> the pricing for the highly anticipated 30th Anniversary PS5 Slim bundle and the DualSense controller.

Reports suggest Sony will price the PlayStation 5 Slim 30th Anniversary bundle at $499.99 in the United States, 519.99 euros in Europe, and 449.99 pounds in the UK.
Sony plans to sell the commemorative DualSense controller for $79.99, with estimated prices of 79.99 euros in Europe and 69.99 pounds in the UK.
These prices align with the cost of Sony&#8217;s recently released DualSense Astro Bot controller, making the limited-edition controller a tempting addition for collectors.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Nostalgic Design And Limited Availability</h3>
Sony's 30th Anniversary lineup integrates the iconic color scheme of the original PlayStation into its latest PS5 models, a design choice that has generated excitement across the gaming community. 
The 30th Anniversary Collection includes both the PS5 Digital Edition and the highly anticipated PS5 Pro, with a limited release of 12,300 units for the Pro model. Each unit will feature engraved numbering to commemorate the PlayStation's historic launch date, December 3, 1994.
The PlayStation 5 Digital Edition – 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Bundle offers a 1TB SSD and includes a matching DualSense controller and a Console Cover for a Disc Drive (sold separately). 
Other collectible items include a nostalgic PlayStation controller-style cable connector housing, four PlayStation-shaped cable ties, a limited edition PlayStation poster (one of 30 designs), and a commemorative PlayStation sticker and paperclip. 
Sony urges fans to act quickly, confirming it will produce only 12,300 units of the 30th Anniversary Collection.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">PlayStation Fans React To PS5 Pro Pricing</h3>
The announcement of the PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Edition has been met with mixed reactions, especially regarding its steep $700 price tag. 
The console does not include a disc drive, which surprised some fans. Early <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/polls-ps5-pro-price-reveal">polls</a> conducted by IGN suggested that only 10 to 15 percent of PlayStation enthusiasts planned to purchase the PS5 Pro, primarily citing the high cost as a deterrent.
