The cryptocurrency cooled further on Thursday, with most major cryptocurrencies trading down less than 1 percent on the day. Here’s a look at some of the headlines that were moving the cryptocurrency market today — and which currencies were on the move.

Headlines

The Colorado Sun and media company Civil are launching an ad-free publication owned by reporters that uses blockchain technology to assess content, reward quality reporting and grade journalists on their work. The idea is an experiment in reducing the potential influence of advertising on journalism, and Civil plans to launch its own cryptocurrency as part of the project. Several former Denver Post reporters have already joined the Colorado Sun, which launched its first Sunriser newsletter on Wednesday afternoon.

The House Committee on Ethics has said U.S. lawmakers will now have to disclose personal cryptocurrency investments that exceed $1,000. The Ethics Committee also strongly urged any lawmaker considering participating in an ICO of any kind to notify the House before doing so as Congress seeks to ensure objectivity in cryptocurrency regulation.

Litecoin founder Charlie Lee told CNBC that the string of global cryptocurrency exchange security breaches that have resulted in the theft of more than $1.1 billion in investments so far this year don't reflect vulnerabilities in the cryptocurrencies themselves. Lee argued that a bank robbery doesn’t impact the price of gold and said the burden of token security ultimately falls on the investors themselves.
