On July 3, the Peoples Bank of China and two other departments released a notice soliciting public opinions on the "Draft Measures for the Administration of Cybersecurity in the Financial Industry." Financial institutions should, in accordance with the requirements of the national cybersecurity classification and protection system, reasonably determine the security protection level of their networks, fulfill their classification and filing obligations, conduct cybersecurity level assessments on a regular basis, and promptly rectify any risks identified in the assessments. Financial institutions should, in accordance with laws, administrative regulations, and relevant provisions of the national and State Council financial management departments, regulate their personal information processing activities and ensure the security of personal information.

The draft aims to prevent cybersecurity risks from evolving into financial risks. In the process of digital transformation of finance, financial services are increasingly reliant on networks, and financial networks are interconnected and closely intertwined. The high complexity of network operation and maintenance, the wide scope of supply chain security, the frequent occurrence of organized high-intensity cyberattacks, and the close integration of emerging technologies with business applications all contribute to the potential threats to financial stability and security. The formulation of the "Measures" broadly clarifies the bottom line for cybersecurity compliance in the financial industry and the legal responsibilities for crossing that line. This is a necessary measure by the State Councils financial regulatory departments to ensure the continued stable operation of the financial system and help prevent cybersecurity risks from evolving into financial risks.On July 3, the Peoples Bank of China and two other departments issued a notice soliciting public opinions on the "Draft Measures for the Administration of Cybersecurity in the Financial Industry." The draft aims to improve the cross-departmental comprehensive regulatory mechanism for cybersecurity in the financial industry. The Cybersecurity Law emphasizes that the state provides key protection for important industries and sectors such as finance, and the Protection Regulations clarify that key information infrastructure in important industries and sectors such as finance will be subject to key protection. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council require the establishment and improvement of cross-departmental comprehensive regulatory systems for regulatory matters involving multiple departments, posing significant management difficulties, and highlighting prominent risks. The joint issuance of this cross-departmental comprehensive regulatory system for cybersecurity in the financial industry by the State Councils financial management departments is consistent with national cybersecurity laws and regulations, universally applicable to the financial industry, and highly efficient in supervision and management. It also aligns with existing and future cybersecurity management systems issued by the State Councils financial management departments. This is a long-term measure to improve the management system in the field of financial cybersecurity and strengthen collaborative supervision of cybersecurity in the financial industry.The Security Service of Ukraine: Ukraine attacked a Russian airbase in Crimea, destroying or damaging at least seven warplanes.Sources say Kazakhstans oil and gas production rose to 2.16 million barrels per day in June, up from 2.12 million barrels per day in May.

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.
