August 29th - US President Trump: New York Governor Kathy Hozul supports Canada, not the United States, and Canada has been taking advantage of New York for years, especially during her tenure. Can you imagine her saying she doesnt respect or recognize "American Lakes"? This is why the "stupid Democrats" are so harmful to our country. Vote for Bruce Blackman as Governor of New York. He has my complete and utter support and will never let you down!On August 29th, CICC pointed out that Federal Reserve Chairman Warshs speech at Jackson Hole was hawkish: he acknowledged that inflation remained high, clarified that interest rates would remain the primary policy tool, and stated that he would "act as needed." He also cited economic resilience, stable employment, and loose financial conditions as evidence that current policy risks are more skewed towards inflation. He also attributed the 65-month period of excessive inflation to the central bank itself, correcting his ambiguous statement in July that "the market should raise rates in place of the Fed." CICC believes this speech helped rebuild the Feds credibility, and the market began trading on the marginal repair of policy credibility afterward. In the long term, Warsh still maintains that AI may reshape the economic and policy framework and continues to push for reforms such as reducing forward guidance. For the market, this statement increased the probability of a Fed rate hike this year, but even so, it is not necessarily purely negative. The market currently does not lack liquidity, but rather policy discipline and predictability. As long as inflation can be suppressed in a timely manner, it will actually benefit the market in the medium term.August 29th - According to the latest data released by the Nepalese police, as of 6:00 AM local time on the 29th, the death toll from flash floods in northern Nepal has risen to 616.

Banking Behemoth Barclays Buys a Stake in Crypto Firm Copper

One of the biggest banks in the UK, Barclays, has participated in a fundraising round for Copper and is anticipated to spend millions of dollars in the cryptocurrency company, which counts Lord Philip Hammond, a former chancellor of the exchequer, among its advisors.


The investment round for Copper, which offers custody, prime broking, and settlement services to institutional investors investing in cryptoassets, is expected to be completed in the coming days.

Delay of nine months

Despite the recent cryptocurrency meltdown wiping away roughly $40 billion in investor money and more than $2 trillion in market value, Copper has still been able to attract investment from one of the most reputable banks in the world.


Barclays, the world's largest bank, has finished the lengthy investor negotiations that had been put off since November of last year as Copper struggled with a temporary regulatory registration in the UK.


More precisely, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) mandates interim registration for digital asset service providers in compliance with money laundering laws. This implies that in order to operate, all crypto-asset enterprises must first seek full FCA registration.


However, Copper subsequently made the decision to become regulated in Switzerland as a result of the financial watchdog's refusal to accept its license registration.


Blockchain.com and Revolut are just two of the many companies that operate under the Temporary Registration Regime (TRR), and more than 100 businesses filed for registration when the FCA took over as the UK's anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism funding body in 2020.

Bloomberg reports that although Barclays has made an undisclosed investment in the "millions of dollars," individuals with knowledge of the situation indicated last year that the funds might increase Copper's worth to around $3 billion. Additionally, the sources said they were uncertain whether the sum raised would be made public.


In 2015, Barclays became one of the first traditional banks to promote cryptocurrency when it started enabling charities to accept contributions made in Bitcoin (BTC) as a form of alternative payment.


However, the bank also has a murky history with cryptocurrencies, having prevented UK-based clients from sending money to Binance by forbidding them from paying the exchange using a credit or debit card. The restriction was implemented soon after the Financial Do Authority said that Binance Markets Limited was no longer permitted to conduct cryptocurrency business in the nation.


Similar to this, Barclays already severed connections with Coinbase and is no longer the bitcoin exchange's financial provider.


In a Series B fundraising round that included Illuminate Financial Management, LocalGlobe, and MMC Ventures and was co-led by Dawn Capital and Target Global last year, London-based Copper received $50 million.
