OpenAI announced an 80% reduction in the price of GPT-5.6 Luna and a 20% reduction in the price of GPT-5.6 Terra. Luna will now cost $0.20 per million input tokens and $1.20 per million output tokens; Terra will cost $2 per million input tokens and $12 per million output tokens. OpenAI stated that the price reductions for Luna and Terra are already reflected in the billing rules of Codex and ChatGPT Work; however, the most powerful version, GPT-5.6 Sol, will not see a price reduction. OpenAI also stated that it will provide a faster option for GPT-5.6 Sol in its API. Recently, OpenAI has been in fierce competition with companies like Anthropic for the best model. As the number of tokens consumed by next-generation inference models increases significantly in longer-running agent tasks, both OpenAI and Anthropic have adjusted their pricing, rate limits, and other usage policies.SanDisk (SNDK.O) rose to its intraday high, currently up over 25%.The China Earthquake Networks Center automatically determined that an earthquake of approximately magnitude 4.1 occurred at 00:58 on July 31 in the sea area near Taitung County, Taiwan (23.03°N, 121.47°E).

Carbon Neutral Bitcoin and Ethereum ETPs Listed on Swiss Exchange

The two new ETPs on SIX are Bitcoin Zero (BTCO2) and Ether Zero (ETH2O).


The ETPs are the product of a campaign known as "Crypto becomes carbon neutral."


The debut took place at a time when the stock market was in free collapse.


While the crypto market and the stock market are two distinct things, investors can't seem to get enough of both. As a consequence, we are seeing the emergence of Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) (ETPs).


People desire something more sustainable even inside these ETPs, and carbon-neutral ETPs have been designed to meet that need.

Crypto Becomes Carbon Neutral

The influence of crypto on the environment has been a long-debated matter, with no clear answer in sight.


To put a stop to this, the European Union nearly outright outlawed proof of work, but the majority of members voted against it, saving Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other (PoW) cryptocurrencies.


Other businesses, on the other hand, are still attempting to become carbon-neutral, as did an ETP provider for the stock market.


In collaboration with the Swiss FinTech Innovation Lab of the Institute for Banking and Finance at the University of Zurich, Helveteq, a Swiss issuer of ESG-transparent investment products, launched the research-based project "Crypto becomes carbon neutral."


The two ETPs, Bitcoin Zero (BTCO2) and Ether Zero (ETHZ), were born from it (ETH2O).


"It is time to give investors the first carbon neutral crypto ETPs from a Swiss issuer," Dr. Christian Katz, the CEO of Helveteq, said. The relationship between the environment and the blockchain economy is becoming more widely recognized, and we must all work together to create long-term solutions."


These ETPs will be added to SIX's pool of 240 other investment products.

Perhaps Now Isn't the Best Time?

The introduction of the ETPs, which was announced today, was not the best timing given the current state of the crypto market. The market has lost more than $122 billion in total, forming a 6.25 percent long red candle.


However, even before today, the overall market capitalization had fallen below $2 trillion, and is at $1.841 trillion. As a result, there's a significant likelihood that this will have a detrimental impact on the launch of these ETPs.
