Global Finance uses a multi-tiered assessment process—which included entries from banks and providers and input from industry analysts, corporate executives, technology experts and independent research—to select the best providers of treasury and cash management services.
A variety of subjective and objective criteria were considered, including profitability, market share and reach, customer service, competitive pricing, product innovation and the extent to which treasury and cash management providers have successfully differentiated themselves from their competitors around core service provision.

Krispy Kreme Unveils Turnaround Plan With US Stake Cut, Global Re-Franchising
(Bloomberg) -- Krispy Kreme Inc. sunk as much as 15% Thursday after it posted second-quarter earnings that missed estimates and revealed more details about its turnaround plans. All Hail the Humble Speed Hump Mayor Asked to Explain $1.4 Billion of Wasted Johannesburg Funds Three Deaths Reported as NYC Legionnaires' Outbreak Spreads Major Istanbul Projects Are Stalling as City Leaders Sit in Jail PATH Train Service Resumes After Fire at Jersey City Station The company's results reflect the 'unsustainable operating costs' from its partnership with McDonald's Corp., Chief Executive Officer Josh Charlesworth said in a statement. Krispy Kreme is reducing its ownership stake in its Western US joint venture, after the company ended its distribution partnership with McDonald's last month. It recorded $28.9 million in lease impairment and termination costs related to the tie-up, as well as $22.1 million in non-cash impairment charges. The company has also started re-franchising international markets including Australia, Japan and the UK, it said. 'Looking ahead, we have implemented a comprehensive turnaround plan aimed at unlocking our two biggest opportunities: profitable US expansion and capital-light international franchise growth,' Charlesworth said in the statement. Krispy Kreme plans to exit roughly 1,500 underperforming locations by year-end. It will replace them with about 1,100 more profitable points of sale, more than half of which are already operational, Charlesworth said on a separate earnings call — these include retail partnerships with chains like Target Corp., Walmart Inc. and Costco Wholesale Corp. The doughnut chain reported an adjusted loss per share of 15 cents, more than the loss of 5.3 cents analysts estimated. The company also continued to withhold full-year guidance, and did not issue one for the third quarter. The company reduced its general and administrative workforce by 15%, Charlesworth said on the call. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization is expected to be higher in the second half of the year, and be cash-flow positive, he added. As of June 29, Krispy Kreme had $21.3 million of cash and cash equivalents as well as undrawn committed capacity of $222.5 million under its credit facilities, it said. The company previously halted quarterly cash dividends and sold the remaining ownership stake in Insomnia Cookies in the past quarter. 'We're glad to see management lay out a blueprint to get things back on track but will need to see more quantification and results before getting more constructive,' Truist analysts led by Bill Chappell, who has a 'Hold' rating on Krispy Kreme, wrote in a note.

Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq mixed as Trump tariffs kick in, Apple jumps
US stocks were mixed Thursday morning as President Trump's sweeping tariffs hit dozens of US trade partners after his self-imposed deadline for countries to strike deals expired. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) rose 0.6%, while the S&P 500 (^GSPC) was up 0.1%, paring earlier gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) reversed course to trade down 0.5% mid-morning. Trump's deadline for trade deals landed at 12:01 a.m. ET on Thursday. Imports from nearly 200 countries now face duties ranging from 10% to 50%, and the overall average effective tariff rate is projected to jump to 18.3%. Read more: The latest on Trump's tariffs Apple (AAPL) shares climbed Thursday as Trump and CEO Tim Cook announced the company would make a $100 billion investment in the US. As part of the deal, Apple will manufacture the cover glasses for iPhones and Apple Watches in Kentucky. At the same time, Trump's comments that he'd exempt some companies from his plans to place 100% duties on semiconductors boosted tech stocks across the board for a second consecutive day. Meanwhile, another wave of earnings flooded in Thursday morning. The reports featured a tariff warning from Toyota (TM), which said in its first quarter results that the impact of US tariffs will be 1.4 trillion yen, or $9.5 billion. Among other notable corporate giants to report, Eli Lilly's (LLY) disappointing results of its much-awaited oral GLP-1 pill trial sent the stock down 14% despite posting better-than-expected earnings for the second quarter. Elsewhere in the market, DoorDash (DASH) shares jumped after giving an upbeat forecast Wednesday after the bell, driven by resilient delivery demand. Airbnb (ABNB) and Lyft (LYFT) fell after giving disappointing guidance during their own earnings reports the prior evening. Also on Thursday, 1.974 million continuing claims for unemployment benefits were filed, reaching their highest level since November 2021. The state of the labor market is in high focus following a disappointing July jobs report and downbeat revisions to the May and June jobs reports. Toyota slashes 2025 profit guidance, warns of $9.5B tariff hit Toyota (TM), the world's largest automaker, is the latest to warn about the effects of President Trump's tariffs.

Most advanced chips are produced by contract chip manufacturer TSMC (TSM) in Taiwan, but the company has been building out its capacity in Arizona, exempting it from Trump's tariffs. The company's US-listed shares soared nearly 7% Thursday morning, hitting a record high. So far, Nvidia has committed to producing $500 billion of AI infrastructure in the US. Micron made a similar $200 billion commitment.

Animoca Brands and ProvLabs to Co-Develop NUVA to Accelerate Access to Tokenized Real-World Assets (RWAs)
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Animoca Brands and Provenance Blockchain Labs (ProvLabs) today announced they have formed a strategic partnership to co-develop NUVA, a vault marketplace that connects real-world asset (RWA) issuers with investors. NUVA will be a unified, chain-agnostic vault marketplace that offers a curated set of vaults from leading asset issuers, each with distinct yield strategies and risk profiles. Investors including retail investors, institutions, Web3 foundations and treasuries will be able to access a wide range of investment products permissionlessly via NUVA. Asset issuers will be able to use NUVA to bring their own assets on-chain and access an entirely new global distribution channel. Built on the Provenance Blockchain, which is designed for financial services and currently holds over US$15.7 billion in RWA total value locked (TVL), NUVA will initially offer nuYLDS and nuHELOCs vaults backed by two of Figure Technologies' industry-leading, digitally native on-chain RWA assets: YLDS, the first U.S. SEC-registered yielding stablecoin security, and HELOCs, fixed-interest rate home equity loans issued by Figure Lending LLC, the largest non-bank HELOC lender in the U.S. with over US$16 billion funded to date. NUVA is scheduled to launch in Q4 2025, and plans to issue a token for governance rights, staking rewards, and other utilities to align all participants in the NUVA ecosystem. According to the terms of the partnership, Provenance Blockchain Labs will focus on product and infrastructure development, while Animoca Brands will utilize its extensive Web3 ecosystem and institutional relationships to drive go-to-market, tokenomics, and listing. Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, said: 'Tokenized RWAs, which are projected to be worth up to $30 trillion by 2030, today are fragmented across chains and marketplaces, limiting their reach and impact. Together with NUVA, we want to make institutional-quality assets radically more accessible across a unified, multi-chain ecosystem, while setting the stage for a new era of user-owned financial networks. This is an important leap toward a more inclusive, on-chain financial system.' Anthony Moro, CEO of ProvLabs, added: 'This is the partnership the RWA industry has been waiting for. Animoca Brands brings Web3's best community and combines it with the world's largest pool of real-world assets ledgered on Provenance Blockchain. This combination of industry leaders will power the next generation of financial innovation to unimaginable heights.' Mike Cagney, executive chairman of Figure Technologies, said: 'We're excited NUVA has decided to launch using Figure's HELOCs and $YLDS as initial assets. It is good to see the platform leverage the unique capabilities of the Provenance Blockchain and contribute to continued expansion in DeFi.' About ProvLabs Provenance Blockchain Labs (ProvLabs) powers digital assets with mission-critical APIs and SaaS services that enable the tokenization and management of real-world assets at scale on Provenance Blockchain.
