February 1st news, on February 1st, Tianfeng International Securities analyst Guo Mingchi released a report pointing out that the new iPhone shipments in the United States in 4Q24 declined slightly YoY, while the Japanese market, which did not provide Apple Intelligence, had a high single-digit YoY growth in iPhone shipments in 4Q24. Apple Intelligence is not very helpful for iPhone sales. According to its industry survey, the overall iPhone shipments in 4Q24 declined by about 5.8%, but iPhone revenue only declined by 0.8% year-on-year in 4Q24, because the product shipment mix of iPhone in 4Q24 further improved. In terms of the new model Pro series share of total shipments, it has increased significantly from 54% in 4Q23 to 61%. In addition, users who buy the Pro series are very likely to pay extra for the version with higher storage space, so the contribution of the Pro series to the average unit price is very significant. Guo Mingchi said that the proportion of Pro models cannot be endlessly increased, and the decline in iPhone revenue in the Q12025 financial report is a warning. If Apple does not adjust its iPhone product and sales strategy, the trend will continue and iPhone revenue will decline by a mid-single-digit year-on-year in 2026.On February 1, according to the technology media TechCrunch, in a Reddit AMA, OpenAI CEO Altman admitted that DeepSeek has weakened OpenAIs leading position in the field of AI.

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.
