GUANGZHOU, China — Hundreds of billions of dollars were wiped off the entire cryptocurrency market after&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/TSLA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tesla</a>&nbsp;CEO Elon Musk tweeted that the electric vehicle maker would&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/12/elon-musk-says-tesla-will-stop-accepting-bitcoin-for-car-purchases.html">suspend car purchases using bitcoin</a>.



At around 6:06 a.m. Singapore time on Thursday when Musk made the announcement, the value of the whole cryptocurrency market stood at around $2.43 trillion, according to data from Coinmarketcap.com.



Around 8:45 a.m., the market capitalization had dropped to around $2.06 trillion, wiping off around $365.85 billion. The market has pared some losses. Since Musk’s tweet, the cryptocurrency market had seen $165.75 billion wiped off its value at around 9:22 a.m. Singapore time.



In February,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/08/tesla-buys-1point5-billion-in-bitcoin.html">Tesla announced in a regulatory filing that it had purchased $1.5 billion worth of bitcoin</a>&nbsp;and planned to accept the cryptocurrency for payments.



Musk cited environmental concerns on Thursday and said Tesla is “concerned about rapidly increasing use of fossil fuels for Bitcoin mining and transactions, especially coal, which has the worst emissions of any fuel.”



Bitcoin is not issued by a single entity like a central bank. Instead, it is maintained by a network of so-called “miners.” These miners use purpose-built computers that require a lot of energy to solve complex mathematical puzzles in order for bitcoin transactions to go through.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/05/bitcoin-btc-surge-renews-worries-about-its-massive-carbon-footprint.html">Bitcoin’s energy consumption is larger than some individual countries.</a>



At around 9:34 a.m. Singapore time, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/BTC.CB=">bitcoin</a> was down over 12%, dipping below the $50,000 mark for the first time since Apr. 24, according to CoinDesk data. Despite the recent pullback, bitcoin is still up over 400% in the last 12 months.



Other cryptocurrencies&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/ETH.CM=">ether</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/XRP.CM=">XRP</a>&nbsp;were also sharply lower.



Musk has been a big proponent of digital currencies&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/12/dogecoin-price-surge-elon-musk-slim-jim.html">including bitcoin and dogecoin</a>, helping to drive their prices higher in recent months.



The Tesla CEO said the company will not be selling any bitcoin and intends to use it for transactions “as soon as mining transitions to more sustainable energy.”



Bitcoin has garnered interest in the last year as companies such as <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/SQ" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Square</a> and Tesla announced bitcoin purchases and large institutional investors entered the cryptocurrency space. Major investment banks like <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/GS" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Goldman Sachs</a> and <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/MS" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Morgan Stanley</a> have also sought ways to allow their wealthy clients to get <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/07/goldman-sachs-unveils-new-cryptocurrency-trading-team-in-employee-memo.html">bitcoin exposure</a>.

India is grappling with a devastating second wave of coronavirus that’s far more fatal than the first — and scientists say the surge could be partially due to mutating strains.



The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/10/who-classifies-triple-mutant-covid-variant-from-india-as-global-health-risk-.html">World Health Organization just reclassified the B.1.617 strain, which was first identified in India</a>, as a “variant of concern” — which indicates that the variant has the “highest public health implications.”



India is the world’s second worst hit country, reporting more than 22.66 million infections and more than 246,000 deaths to date,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mohfw.gov.in/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from India’s health ministry</a>&nbsp;shows. Experts say the numbers are likely severely underreported as many never make it to the hospitals which have run out of beds and oxygen.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-do-we-know">What do we know?</h2>



The earliest samples of the B.1.617 were detected in India in October, and authorities announced in March this year that the variant had become more common in the state of&nbsp;Maharashtra.



The World Health Organization said Monday that it is reclassifying the strain as a “variant of concern.” It was previously named a “variant of interest,” which is a lower level of alert.



Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, Covid-19 technical lead at the WHO, said there is information suggesting that B.1.617 has “increased transmissibility” and “some reduced neutralization.”



Variants of concern are more contagious, cause more severe disease or reduce the effectiveness of public health measures, vaccines or medication,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.who.int/publications/m/item/covid-19-weekly-epidemiological-update" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">according to the UN health agency.</a>



“We don’t have anything to suggest that our diagnostics, our therapeutics and our vaccines don’t work,” she said at a media briefing on Monday.



Other variants of concern include the B.1.1.7 which was first identified in the United Kingdom, and the B.1.351 which was discovered in South Africa.



The threshold for determining a variant of interest is relatively low compared to the classification of a variant of concern, the WHO said.



According to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gisaid.org/hcov19-variants/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gisaid,</a>&nbsp;a platform where countries can share data on viruses, the B.1.617 strain from India has been detected in about 40 countries, including the U.S., U.K. and Singapore.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Did it trigger India’s second wave?</h2>



There are several factors that led to the sharp spike in India’s Covid-19 cases — and mutating variants is just one of them.



The WHO said multiple variants circulating in India are demonstrating increased transmissibility, but B.1.617 has a higher growth rate.



B.1.617 has&nbsp;three sub-lineages, each with slightly different mutations, WHO said. As cases in India saw a “major upsurge,” the B.1.617.1 and B.1.617.2 lineages have become more prevalent, the health agency said.



The variant has sometimes been referred to as a “double mutant” because it carries two mutations — the E484Q and L452R — that may make the virus more contagious and better at evading the body’s defenses. A third mutation in the variant, the P681R, can potentially lead to “enhanced transmission,” the WHO said.



Virologists who spoke to CNBC said the terms “double mutation” or “triple mutation” are not scientifically accurate. <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2021/04/24/988744811/people-are-talking-about-a-double-mutant-variant-in-india-what-does-that-mean" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Reports said</a> the B.1.617 has more than a dozen mutations.



However, mass election rallies and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/21/massive-religious-gathering-worries-india-as-covid-19-cases-surge.html">religious festivals that drew millions</a>&nbsp;have also been blamed for so-called super spreader events that infected a lot of people, experts have said.



K Srinath Reddy, president of the Public Health Foundation of India, said there was a widespread belief that the pandemic was over “forever” in January.



“It appeared that the policymakers, the industry, as well as the public, were anxious to get back to normal life, put the economy back on rails, and really ignored the threat that was still there,” he told CNBC’s “Capital Connection” last week.



“As I said, we turned our back on the virus, but the virus did not turn its back on us. And now we are paying the price,” Reddy said.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Do vaccines work?</h2>



<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/22UA-DE" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BioNTech</a>&nbsp;CEO&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/29/covid-vaccine-biontech-ceo-confident-shot-works-against-india-strain.html">Ugur Sahin told CNBC last month</a>&nbsp;he is “confident” the company’s vaccine, which was developed together with U.S. drugmaker<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/PFE" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;Pfizer</a>,&nbsp;is effective against the variant from India.



“We had similar double mutants in our prior testing, and we are confident based on the data we had in the past that we might see a similar fashion of neutralization of this virus,” he said, though BioNTech did not have sufficient data on B.1.617 at that point.



The WHO also said preliminary laboratory studies found that 28 recipients of Covaxin were able to neutralize the B.1.617 variant. Covaxin is a vaccine developed by India’s Bharat Biotech and the state-run Indian Council of Medical Research.



Former White House health policy director Dr. Kavita Patel said the current vaccines have “some effectiveness,” but that there have been “breakthrough infections” by the B.1.617 variant.



“We’re very concerned. This is exactly the kind of set up for what we call ‘escape immunity’ — where the variant is so concerning and the body’s immune system can’t fight it,” she told CNBC’s “Squawk Box Asia” last week.



— CNBC’s Saheli Roy Choudhury and Berkeley Lovelace Jr. contributed to this report.

LONDON — Ether, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency, has been stealing the limelight from bitcoin lately. The digital coin hit a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/10/ethereum-eth-price-soars-above-4000-for-the-first-time.html">record high above $4,000</a>&nbsp;on Monday and is now up over 450% since the beginning of 2021.



That doesn’t come close to the returns on meme-inspired crypto dogecoin, which is up over 11,000% year-to-date. But many crypto investors dismiss dogecoin as&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/07/what-is-dogecoin.html">little more than a joke</a>&nbsp;and have compared its rise to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/27/gamestop-mania-explained-how-the-reddit-retail-trading-crowd-ran-over-wall-street-pros.html">Reddit-fueled trading frenzy</a>&nbsp;that pumped up the prices of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/GME" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">GameStop</a>&nbsp;and other stocks.



So what exactly is ether? And how is it different to bitcoin?



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-how-it-started">How it started</h2>



Ether is the native currency of Ethereum, an open-source blockchain platform. Ethereum was founded in 2013 by Russian-Canadian programmer Vitalik Buterin and several other crypto entrepreneurs. Many of the people who started Ethereum were previously involved in bitcoin.



For Buterin, bitcoin was too limited in functionality. In an interview with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/vitalik-buterin-created-ethereum-one-of-the-worlds-three-largest-cryptocurrencies-2019-1?r=US&amp;amp;IR=T" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Business Insider</a>, he compares it to a pocket calculator that “does one thing well,” whereas he said Ethereum is more like a smartphone with multiple applications you can use.



That’s the main premise of Ethereum. Like bitcoin, it’s built on blockchain technology — essentially a distributed computer network that records all cryptocurrency transactions. But unlike bitcoin, people can build apps on top of Ethereum.



In Buterin’s own words, Ethereum is “a blockchain with a built-in programming language” and the “most logical way to actually build a platform that can be used for many more kinds of applications.”



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Smart contracts</h2>



The Ethereum network hosts what’s known as smart contracts — collections of code that carry out a set of instructions and run on the&nbsp;blockchain.



These contracts are what power decentralized applications, or dapps, which are similar to smartphone apps that run on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/GOOGL" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Google’s</a>&nbsp;Android or&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/AAPL" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Apple’s</a>&nbsp;iOS operating systems, except they don’t answer to one company or authority.



Recently, activity on ether’s network has surged thanks to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/03/what-are-nfts-all-you-need-to-know-about-crypto-collectibles.html">rise of NFTs</a>, or non-fungible tokens, which are digital assets designed to represent ownership of unique virtual items. That’s because many NFTs, from the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2017/12/06/meet-cryptokitties-the-new-digital-beanie-babies-selling-for-100k.html">colorful online cats of CryptoKitties</a>&nbsp;to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/25/nfts-why-digital-art-and-sports-collectibles-are-suddenly-so-popular.html">cyberpunk-inspired avatars of CryptoPunks</a>, run on Ethereum.



Put simply, bitcoin is a payments network that can be used to transfer value between two people anywhere in the world. Today it’s mainly used for investing. Ethereum, on the other hand, is aiming to create the infrastructure for an internet that isn’t maintained by any single authority.



A big trend in Ethereum right now is&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2021/04/15/heres-what-decentralized-finance-or-defi-means-for-crypto.html">decentralized finance</a>, a term that refers to traditional financial products like loans and mortgages that are built using blockchain. In this case, blockchain replaces the middlemen — from banks to governments — and keeps track of everything.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Criticisms</h2>



Ethereum is far from perfect, though. In 2017, the popularity of the game CryptoKitties caused ether’s network to become&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/01/ethereum-2point0-eth-cryptocurrencys-network-starts-a-major-upgrade.html">heavily congested</a>, slowing transactions significantly and leading the game’s developers to raise their fees.



Scalability is one of the biggest issues with the Ethereum network today. It currently operates using a proof-of-work protocol, similar to bitcoin. This means that cryptocurrency miners with purpose-built computers have to compete to solve complex mathematical puzzles in order to validate transactions.



This has led to criticisms of both bitcoin and Ethereum from those who are worried about the massive amounts of energy consumed by their networks.



But Ethereum is currently undergoing an ambitious upgrade called&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/01/ethereum-2point0-eth-cryptocurrencys-network-starts-a-major-upgrade.html">Ethereum 2.0</a>. This would see it move to a “proof-of-stake” model which relies on “stakers” who already hold some ether to process new transactions.



Crypto investors say the upgrade should help the Ethereum network run at scale, processing lots more transactions at a faster pace and supporting apps with millions of users.



It could also lead to short-term price appreciation. More and more ether is getting&nbsp;<a href="https://www.coindesk.com/ethereum-2-lockup-defi-innovation" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">stashed away</a>&nbsp;for a “lockup” period by token holders seeking to become stakers and validate transactions on the new network. This could, in theory, limit the available supply of ether.



Still, some skeptics remain unconvinced by digital currencies like bitcoin and ether. The latest rally has reminded some investors of the 2017 crypto bubble, in which bitcoin ran up toward $20,000 before plummeting as low as $3,122 a year later. Bears say cryptocurrencies are&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/20/bitcoin-bear-gives-2-reasons-why-the-bubble-is-going-to-burst.html">in another bubble</a>&nbsp;that’s waiting to burst. But bulls are convinced things are different this time — namely, increased interest from institutional investors.

Joe Skipper | Reuters</figcaption></figure>



<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/FB" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Facebook’s</a>&nbsp;independent Oversight Board&nbsp;<a href="https://www.oversightboard.com/news/226612455899839-oversight-board-upholds-former-president-trump-s-suspension-finds-facebook-failed-to-impose-proper-penalty/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ruled</a>&nbsp;to uphold the company’s January decision to suspend the Facebook and Instagram accounts of former President Donald Trump.



But, the board said, the indefinite timeframe of the suspension “was not appropriate.” The board effectively punted the decision back to Facebook, saying it “insists” the company “review this matter to determine and justify a proportionate response that is consistent with the rules that are applied to other users of its platform.”



The board asked that Facebook complete the review within six months and made suggestions for how to create clear policies that balance public safety and freedom of expression.



“We will now consider the board’s decision and determine an action that is clear and proportionate,” Facebook said in a&nbsp;<a href="https://about.fb.com/news/2021/05/facebook-oversight-board-decision-trump/amp/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">blog post</a>&nbsp;following the announcement. “In the meantime, Mr. Trump’s accounts remain suspended.”



The case



Facebook first&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/07/facebook-will-block-trump-from-posting-for-the-remainder-of-his-term.html">suspended</a>&nbsp;Trump’s accounts following the Jan. 6 insurrection on the U.S. Capitol. The suspension was Facebook’s most aggressive action against Trump during his four-year term.



“We believe the risks of allowing the President to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great,”&nbsp;Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg&nbsp;wrote in a post on his Facebook page at the time.&nbsp;



Facebook referred the decision to its Oversight Board a few weeks later,&nbsp;<a href="https://about.fb.com/news/2021/01/referring-trump-suspension-to-oversight-board/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">saying</a>&nbsp;that given the significance of the decision, “we think it is important for the board to review it and reach an independent judgment on whether it should be upheld.”



The decision to uphold Trump’s suspension is the most significant action taken thus far by Facebook’s Oversight Board, which was launched in October 2020 as a de facto “Supreme Court” for the company’s content moderation decisions. The board is an independent body made up of civic, technological, free speech, journalism and human rights experts from around the world.



Facebook has agreed to abide by the Oversight Board’s rulings, even though Zuckerberg still has undisputed control of the company, with majority voting control over the company’s shares.



The board’s findings



The Oversight Board found that Trump had “severely violated” Facebook’s community standards with his posts on Jan. 6. But it also said the platform “seeks to avoid its responsibilities” by applying a vague penalty and then referring it to the board to review.



His declarations, “We love you. You’re very special,” referring to the people who rioted around the U.S. Capitol, calling the rioters “great patriots” and telling them to “remember this day forever,” violated Facebook’s rules that prohibit praise of people engaged in violence, the board wrote.



“The Board found that, in maintaining an unfounded narrative of electoral fraud and persistent calls to action, Mr. Trump created an environment where a serious risk of violence was possible,” the board wrote, adding that when Trump posted his statements, “there was a clear, immediate risk of harm and his words of support for those involved in the riots legitimized their violent actions.”



But Facebook’s decision to make the ban indefinite was not justified, the board found, since it “did not follow a clear, published procedure” in doing so.



“In applying a vague, standardless penalty and then referring this case to the Board to resolve, Facebook seeks to avoid its responsibilities,” the board wrote. “The Board declines Facebook’s request and insists that Facebook apply and justify a defined penalty.”



The board said that though Facebook should apply the same rules to all members, the company should take context into account in assessing harm, including when posts are made by “influential users.” It added that newsworthiness considerations “should not take priority when urgent action is needed to prevent significant harm.”
