Ukrainian President Zelensky: Russian satellite monitoring shows that Moscow is assisting Tehran in its strike operations in the Middle East.The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office advises against traveling to any area within 10 kilometers of the Saudi border with Yemen; except where necessary, avoid areas between 10 and 80 kilometers from the Saudi border with Yemen.On July 26, local time, US President Trump ordered the US military not to launch new airstrikes against Iran that day, ending nearly two weeks and 13 days of daily strikes. It is understood that Trump had previously approved daily strike plans submitted by the military, but after receiving a new operational plan on the 25th, he did not approve its implementation and instead directly ordered a halt to airstrikes for the day. It is unclear whether this decision is merely a one-day temporary measure or signifies a pause in military operations. Reportedly, hours before Trump ordered the suspension of airstrikes, an Omani delegation arrived in Tehran to negotiate new arrangements for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Two regional sources familiar with the negotiations stated that progress had been made, and Oman and Iran are expected to reach an agreement by the end of the week, at which time Trump will decide whether to accept the proposed solution.A spokesperson for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard stated: "In 15 days of fighting, we destroyed 11 U.S. fighter jets and helicopters."Irans Ministry of Oil: Despite facing war and sanctions, more than 60% of the annual oil revenue budget target has been achieved.

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.
