Taiwan Stock Exchange: The fundamentals of the Taiwan stock market remain stable.On July 29th, the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) launched an investigation into Microsoft (MSFT.O) to examine whether it misled users into paying higher software subscription fees after integrating the Copilot AI feature into Microsoft 365. The CMA stated that the investigation focuses on whether Microsoft clearly explained the changes to the subscription plan and the price increase due to new features like Copilot to users before subscription renewals for Microsoft 365 (which includes office software such as Word, Excel, and Outlook). According to the CMA, Microsoft offered the Copilot feature to existing users for free last year, but automatically switched them to a more expensive new plan upon subscription renewal. Unless users actively switched to another plan or cancelled their subscription, they would pay higher fees. Currently, the CMA has not found any illegal behavior on Microsofts part. If found to have violated consumer protection regulations, Microsoft could face a fine of up to 10% of its global revenue.Morgan Stanley raised its price target for Visa (VN) to $416.00, up from $415.00 previously.Morgan Stanley raised its price target for PayPal (PYPL.O) from $34.00 to $45.00.On July 29th, Xingyun Technology announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Shenzhen Xingyun, had previously signed a "Computing Power Service Agreement" with VB customer.

Indian Exchange Volumes Benefiting from Bitcoin Price Drop

Bitcoin's anticipated fall from grace in recent days was a phenomenon that surprised investors and dealers. However, this was a happy moment for Indian crypto exchange operators, as trading volumes increased dramatically once BTC's price retested the lower $29,000 zone.

Indian Stock Exchange Volumes Increase

Following a dry period, trade volumes on Indian crypto platforms increased. For the most of this year, Bitcoin and other altcoins experienced a range bound price movement, and Indian crypto exchange volumes were similarly modest.


As bitcoin's price fell by more than 56% from its all-time high of $69,000 in November 2021, transaction volumes increased throughout marketplaces as a result of the selling pressure.


According to accounts from local news organizations, the increase in volumes in India was enormous and lasted almost two days. Trade volumes on crypto trading platforms including WazirX, CoinDCX, and Unocoin increased by 20 to 75 percent.


"Overall volumes increased by 70% between May 8 and 9," stated Nischal Shetty, Co-founder and CEO of WazirX, in an interview. In terms of trading, there is a mood of 'buying the drop,' as buyers have been somewhat controlling the market."


He went on to say that such purchasing activity shows that investor confidence in the market is still high, even at current levels.

India's Web3 Developments Increasing My Pace

According to a recent research, the number of Web3 developers reporting their locations climbed the highest in India and Russia, respectively, increasing to 5.3 percent and 4.3 percent of the market share. The United States, on the other hand, has lost over 20% of its market share since 2015.


With the emergence of Web3 and blockchain development in the Indian subcontinent, an increase in trading volumes amid a wider market fall indicates market players' trust. This meant that Indians succumbed to the "buy the dip" mentality.


"Volatility usually leads to a rise in volume on platforms like ours," said Minal Thukral, Executive Vice President, Growth and Strategy at CoinDCX. We're witnessing an increase in the number of people purchasing the dip and a decrease in the number of users selling it."


However, since the new tax policy took effect on April 1, trade volumes on Indian crypto exchanges have decreased. However, it seems that Indians are increasingly taking greater risks, indicating a growing interest in hazardous asset investments in the country.
