Sustainability

A recent United Nations University study highlights the significant environmental impact of Bitcoin mining, including heavy reliance on fossil fuels and enormous energy consumption. The report urges investment in energy-efficient cryptocurrencies and government intervention to reduce carbon emissions.

On August 14, 2025, Bitcoin soared to an all-time high of $124,000 fueled by institutional demand and positive regulatory shifts, while Ethereum nears $4,800, standing out for its much lower environmental impact thanks to its proof-of-stake consensus.
