The fund would hold 5 per cent in the cryptocurrency developed by the company Ripple and 2 per cent in the crypto created by the exchange Crypto.com, which will act as the ETF's digital custodian.Bitcoin Solaris (BTC‑S) is a new crypto project currently in its presale phase—essentially the fundraising stage before public exchange listings.

Trump Signs Executive Order Extending Tariff Truce Deadline With China By 90 Days
The executive order was issued a day after President Trump urged China to significantly increase its purchases of US soybeans. US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order on Monday, extending the tariff truce deadline with China by 90 days, Reuters reported, citing a White House official. The order follows high-level talks between top officials from both countries, who met in Stockholm in July to explore the possibility of shifting the deadline to reach a negotiated agreement on tariffs. A White House official confirmed the latest decision, which came just hours before US tariffs on Chinese goods were due to revert to triple-digit rates. The previously agreed tariff truce between Beijing and Washington was scheduled to expire at 00:01 ET on Tuesday. The executive order, signed on Monday, was issued a day after President Trump urged China to significantly increase its purchases of US soybeans by as much as fourfold. At the same time, Washington has been pressuring Beijing to halt imports of Russian oil, with Trump warning of potential secondary tariffs on Chinese entities found violating the directive. When asked by reporters during a press conference on Monday whether he intended to extend the deadline, Trump responded, 'We'll see what happens. They've been dealing quite nicely. The relationship is very good with President Xi (Jinping) and myself." Without the order being passed, US tariffs on Chinese goods would have surged by 145%, while Chinese tariffs on American goods were set to rise to 125%. At present, imports from China into the US are subject to a 30% tariff, which includes a 10% base rate and an additional 20% imposed in relation to fentanyl-related policy measures. These rates were implemented by Washington earlier this year, between February and March. In response, China currently levies a 10% tariff on goods imported from the US. Both nations have made repeated efforts in recent months to reach a consensus on tariff policy, following the imposition of reciprocal triple-digit tariffs. In May, during a meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, the two sides agreed on a temporary truce, initiating a 90-day period for continued negotiations. They met again in Stockholm, Sweden, in late July, although no official extension was announced at the time. However, both parties described the talks as constructive, signalling the possibility of a truce extension. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Lithium Stocks Surge as Chinese Mine Closes After Permit Expires
Shares of North American lithium producers soared as investors bet that the suspension of a major Chinese mine would ease a supply glut and likely lead to a rebound in prices. CATL, the world's biggest battery producer, confirmed the closure of its Jianxiawo mine on Monday, saying it's seeking to renew its expired permit. The fate of the mine, the largest in China's lithium hub of Yichun, had been under close scrutiny for weeks amid speculation that authorities wouldn't extend its license. The mine accounts for about 6% of global output, according to Bank of America Corp. 'In the short term, abrupt supply cuts would trigger further price volatility, disrupt the domestic battery industry and benefit foreign lithium miners,' said Martin Jackson, head of battery raw materials at consultancy CRU Group. Shares of US producer Albemarle rose nearly 16% Monday in New York in its biggest intraday increase in four months. Piedmont Lithium Inc. rose as much as 18%, while Lithium Americas Corp. surged as much as 14%. Chilean producer SQM also jumped as much as 12% in US trading. Lithium producers have struggled with a global supply glut exacerbated by demand headwinds for electric vehicles, including President Donald Trump's rollback of incentives for the industry in the US. The suspension of Jianxiawo mine could help narrow the massive supply surplus in the lithium market, potentially bolstering slumping prices of the battery metal. The suspension of CATL's mine will support higher lithium prices in the near term and is bullish for producers such as Albemarle Corp. and SQM, Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Sean Gilmartin wrote in a note Monday. Reduced Chinese output has led to more upside for lithium prices, signaling the market has found a bottom, with more constructive fundamentals likely to emerge in the next two years as supply ramp-ups start to fade, Gilmartin added. Demand still is expected to grow by 15% over the period, he said.
