On January 30th, Vanke Enterprise (02202.HK) announced on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that it expects a net loss of approximately RMB 82 billion for 2025, compared to a loss of RMB 49.478 billion in the same period last year. The company anticipates a loss in 2025 primarily due to a significant decrease in the settlement scale of real estate development projects, resulting in a still low gross profit margin; new provisions for credit impairment and asset impairment; overall losses from certain operating businesses after deducting depreciation and amortization; losses from certain non-core financial investments; and some large-scale asset and equity transactions being priced below book value.The UK and Germany will host a meeting of the Ukraine Defense Liaison Group on February 12.On January 30th, Ourpalm announced that it expects a net loss of 90 million to 180 million yuan in 2025.

Financial: Upgraded SanDisk (SNDK.O) from Market Perform to Outperform.January 30th - Ukraine is facing serious new nuclear security risks. A Russian attack aimed at disrupting its power grid has left the countrys three operating nuclear power plants without a stable power supply. Diplomats held an emergency meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna to discuss the impact of the Kremlins attacks on critical infrastructure needed to maintain the operation of Ukrainian reactors. Months of attacks have not only left millions facing a dark and cold winter but have also increased the likelihood of a nuclear accident. This is because nuclear power generation, unlike fossil fuel or renewable energy plants, requires a continuous current to maintain its safety systems. If power is cut off, the fuel inside the reactor core could overheat, leading to a dangerous release of radioactive material. European countries have requested the IAEA to provide a detailed assessment of Ukraines vulnerability by next month. Currently, monitoring personnel stationed in Ukraine are inspecting key substations necessary for power transmission.

Crypto lender Celsius defends bitcoin mining plans as bankruptcy kicks off

Bitcoin mining is essential to the company's reorganization efforts, according to cryptocurrency lender Celsius Network, who made the statement during a Manhattan bankruptcy court hearing on Monday.


headquartered in New Jersey U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Martin Glenn gave Celsius permission to spend $3.7 million on building a new bitcoin mining facility and $1.5 million on customs and fees on incoming bitcoin mining equipment.


The firm, which stopped other commercial activities including its cryptocurrency loans, might find a method to pay back consumers whose funds it had frozen in the weeks before to declaring bankruptcy, according to Patrick Nash, a lawyer representing Celsius.


The mining industry "has the potential to be pretty profitable in a scenario where the crypto market recovers," Nash said.


On July 13, Celsius declared bankruptcy, citing a $1.19 billion balance sheet shortfall. Following a significant cryptocurrency market sell-off caused by the May collapse of prominent coins terraUSD and luna, the business model of crypto lenders came under criticism.


Due to the significant volatility, Celsius' assets decreased, and its decision to freeze client accounts was an effort to reduce losses and stabilize its operations, according to Nash.


In the weeks leading up to the Chapter 11 filing, some customers threatened and sent hate mail to a few firm workers. Celsius is hoping that the mining endeavor will help it mend those relationships.


However, a group of equity investors hinted to a potential conflict over ownership of the bitcoin mining businesses. According to Dennis Dunne, the investors' attorney, they can argue that the freshly created currencies need to be given to all Celsius creditors rather than deemed the property of the UK company that acquired the money for the mining activity.


Customers could complain to Celsius' expenditure on bitcoin mining companies at a time when their own financial recovery is in question, according to the bankruptcy monitor of the U.S. Department of Justice.
