Irans chief negotiator, Qalibaf, stated, "The era of bullying and blackmail is over," and Iran will not "give in."Irans chief negotiator, Qalibaf, stated that the United States violated the "Iranian readjustment plan" regarding the Strait of Hormuz.July 8th - According to media reports, Xiaomi Auto recently launched the brand name "SkyNomad" and the Chinese name "澎程" (Pengcheng), emphasizing a new brand image focused on space and lifestyle, which has attracted considerable attention. According to Tianyancha intellectual property information, Xiaomi Technology Co., Ltd. has applied for registration of multiple "SKYNOMAD" and "澎程" trademarks, covering international classifications such as transportation vehicles, machinery and equipment, and communication services; some of these trademarks have already been successfully registered.The China Earthquake Networks Center officially reported that a magnitude 5.0 earthquake occurred at 10:08 on July 8 in Gao County, Yibin City, Sichuan Province (28.54 degrees north latitude, 104.67 degrees east longitude), with a focal depth of 6 kilometers.July 8 – The Reserve Bank of New Zealands Monetary Policy Committee unanimously agreed today to raise the Official Cash Rate (OCR) by 25 basis points to 2.50%. Global oil prices fell significantly with the partial reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Prices of other petrochemical products also declined. Therefore, short-term inflationary pressures have eased somewhat. However, despite the decline in energy prices, the effects of the energy shock will persist for some time, and the outlook for medium-term inflationary pressures remains uncertain. The current monetary policy stance aims to bring inflation back to the target level while avoiding unnecessary economic instability. The New Zealand economy was on a recovery track before the Middle East conflict, but economic momentum weakened in the June quarter due to the oil price shock. The outlook for medium-term inflationary pressures depends on the extent to which recent cost increases have been passed on to price increases. With inflation still above the target level and economic activity expected to strengthen, further reductions in monetary policy stimulus may be necessary to bring inflation back to the 2% target midpoint. Future interest rate decisions will depend on newly released economic data, price formation behavior, and the impact of the strength of economic activity on medium-term inflationary pressures.

California’s DFPI Investigating Multiple Crypto Lending Companies

The California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI), which regulates the activities of state-licensed financial institutions such as banks and premium finance businesses, has announced that it is investigating whether businesses that suspended customer withdrawals and transfers broke any laws.


More specifically, the government is looking at a number of cryptocurrency businesses with U.S. headquarters after some reputable lenders permanently stopped allowing transfers and withdrawals between user accounts.

Accounts for crypto assets that pay interest

In particular, the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation is concentrating on "multiple companies" that provide customers with interest-bearing crypto asset accounts, also known as crypto-interest accounts, as well as service providers who "may not have adequately disclosed risks customers face when they deposit crypto-assets onto [lenders'] platforms."


To ascertain if they are breaking any laws that fall within the purview of the Department is the main goal of the inquiry.


The DFPI previously emphasized that providers of crypto-interest accounts are not subject to the same regulations and safeguards as banks and credit unions, which is particularly concerning in light of some platforms' restrictions on customers' ability to withdraw money from and transfer funds among their accounts.


Because of this, the agency has advised customers to proceed with "great care" before answering any inquiries about investments or financial services.


Also pointing to two cease and desist orders it recently sent to BlockFi and Voyager Digital to suspend their sales in California, DFPI has shown how certain crypto-interest account providers have been promoting unregistered securities.

securing customer property

Following Voyager Digital, the second well-known cryptocurrency business to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in recent weeks, DFPI made its statement. The Toronto-based company calculates that it has between $1 and $10 billion in assets, over 100,000 creditors, and liabilities of the same amount.


According to Voyager Digital, the action is a part of a "Plan of Reorganization" that intends to provide customers access to their accounts once again. Customers will have the option of receiving cryptocurrency, money recovered from Three Arrows Capital, common shares in the newly reorganized business, and Voyager tokens.


Due to worries about liquidity, Celsius (CEL) has stopped withdrawals and transfers since June 12. There are rumors that the management of the firm has been discussing Chapter 11 bankruptcy with attorneys.


As it faces with the potential of bankruptcy, the business is presently seeking restructuring guidance from the advising firm Alvarez & Marsal.


Additionally, the turbulent market circumstances last week caused the Singapore-based cryptocurrency platform Vauld to stop operations. The business instantly halted all trading, deposits, and withdrawals, and said that, up until further notice, it would only accept client deposits for its collateralized loans product.


Currently, numerous platforms have had client money frozen for many weeks while the future of their depositors' assets is still unknown.
