China tells brokers to halt endorsements of stablecoin, sources say
(Reuters) -Chinese regulators have asked big local brokers to halt publication of research endorsing stablecoins in a bid to curb a surge in interest in the digital currency among domestic investors, two sources familiar with the matter said. While crypto trading is banned in mainland China, brokerages have received a wave of requests for information on stablecoin and digital assets from Chinese investors since Hong Kong passed a stablecoin bill in May, sources at the brokerages say. Some major brokerages received guidance from market regulators in late July and earlier this month pushing them to discontinue publishing research notes and making public comments on stablecoins, the sources said. The People's Bank of China said it had no immediate comment on the matter, while the China Securities Regulatory Commission did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. Bloomberg first reported the news. Some think-tanks have also received guidance from financial regulators that they should cancel stablecoin-related seminars, its report said. Chinese policymakers have been more openly talking about stablecoins in the past few months, with PBOC governor Pan Gongsheng saying in June the boom in digital currencies and stablecoins poses huge challenges to financial regulation. A Shanghai regulator held a meeting last month for local government officials to consider strategic responses to the rise of stablecoins and digital currency - a sign of a potential shift in tone from China over crypto assets. But the post on the Shanghai State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission's official WeChat account giving details of the meeting is no longer available. Stablecoins are a type of cryptocurrency designed to maintain a constant value. They are usually pegged to a fiat currency such as the U.S. dollar, and are commonly used by crypto traders to move funds between tokens.

Trump's new China tariff hits another crypto mining firm in $185 dispute
Trump's new China tariff hits another crypto mining firm in $185 dispute originally appeared on TheStreet. CleanSpark, a bitcoin mining startup based in the United States, is in a dispute with Customs and Border Protection (CBP) over duties on imported mining rigs. The CBP has argued that some Bitcoin mining equipment imported by CleanSpark in 2024 was of Chinese descent and susceptible to punitive penalties. If CBP succeeds in its claim and retrospectively applies tariffs on any miners imported after April 2024, CleanSpark estimates its total liability would increase to over $185 million, excluding statutory interest, as per reports. In its Q2 2025 statement, CleanSpark stated that on May 27, it began receiving CBP invoices charging Chinese-origin import duties on some miners brought in between April and June 2024. At the time, the company's mining activities were exclusively based on Bitmain's Antminer devices, says the report. CleanSpark contests the charge, claiming that CBP's assertion is "without merit," and plans to fight the charges. The mining firm says both its shipping paperwork and statement from its hardware supplier prove that the computers were shipped from outside China, in accordance with its purchase isn't the only mining firm facing criticism. Another public miner, IREN, revealed earlier this year that it is involved in a similar issue with CBP over $100 million in duties. In IREN's instance, CBP claims that the mining equipment shipped between April 2024 and February 2025 likewise originated in China. IREN rejects the accusation and is fighting the agency's official Notice of Action. Trump's new tariffs on China Trump's new tariffs add 21% or more to the cost of application-specific integrated circuit imports necessary for crypto mining. This has made it harder for U.S. Bitcoin miners to shift rigs from other countries. Even if the equipment is not directly from China, nations with close trade ties to China, such as Laos and Myanmar, suffer some of the highest tariffs of 40%. Some analysts told the BBC that Trump seemed to have targeted nations with close trading connections to China.

How to Run Multiple Businesses — From a CEO Who's Doing It
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Managing one business is challenging enough, but handling several at once? Now that's next-level. I should know — I've owned over 30 businesses in my lifetime, and as CEO, adding new ventures to our portfolio is practically a sport. Over the years, I've picked up plenty of strategies (and some wildly entertaining stories) that make balancing multiple businesses not just doable but honestly rewarding. Here's my blueprint of what has really worked for me. 1. Time management is your superpower Time is every entrepreneur's most valuable asset. As someone managing multiple companies, I can't stress enough how crucial it is to master your schedule. I assign dedicated blocks for each business or priority task — to illustrate, back when I was running my first duo of companies, I devoted mornings to one and afternoons and evenings to the other. This approach minimized distractions and helped me stay focused on what truly mattered each day. I'm also a big believer in the 80/20 rule: focus on the 20% of activities that yield 80% of the results, and don't be afraid to eliminate or delegate the rest. Technology can be a true lifesaver here — my digital calendar (and my handwritten one) keep me and my businesses moving at full speed. Make the most of every free moment. I like to review emails, proposals or agreements while I'm cooking or eating. It's a simple way to stay productive and avoid wasting time on tasks I can easily knock out during downtime. Every minute counts! Related: How to Successfully Run Multiple Businesses 2. Delegate like a pro No one's a superhero — and you shouldn't be expected to handle every task alone. I've learned the hard way that knowing what to hand off (and to whom) is critical. I concentrate on my strengths, like brainstorming and big-picture planning and leave specialized work to the pros. Building teams of talented, trustworthy people is non-negotiable. If hiring full-time staff isn't on the cards, there are skilled freelancers and virtual assistants just a few clicks away. One of my real estate marketing businesses requires a lot of content creation and marketing of luxury real estate homes in California. Outsourcing work like graphic design or video editing frees up my time to focus on growth initiatives. 3. Prioritize ruthlessly Trying to juggle everything will only make you dizzy. That's why prioritization remains one of my top skills. Every business I run gets its own set of goals, usually mapped out each quarter, and these guide my daily and weekly priorities. Not everything is urgent; knowing how to identify genuine emergencies versus issues that can wait is burnout prevention 101. And if a similar task pops up across several businesses — like a round of contract reviews or a big content-planning session — I tackle them together to maximize efficiency. 4. Get (and stay) organized Organization is the thread holding this circus act together! For each venture, keeping communication, files and workflows in order — saving hours that would've otherwise been wasted hunting for that one lost document — is crucial. Documenting processes is also clutch; clear operations manuals empower my teams and simplify onboarding when it's time to grow. Additionally, every Friday, I dedicate 30 minutes to decluttering my desk, cleaning out my inbox and closing open loops in my schedule. This process has saved my sanity more than once.

Protect your work-life balance Let's be real: with multiple businesses, the temptation to work nonstop is strong, but burnout isn't an option. I set firm boundaries. Although I love to work 24/7, I still take time to relax — usually, when my body says I have to. And I still make sure to pencil in downtime regularly, from daily exercise to mealtime and fun events. I also try to work in business industries that I genuinely love. When I invest in hobby-based ventures, it never really feels like work. Let's say you are a baseball card collector and you turned it into a business venture — you could attend card-collecting events and visit hobby shops as part of your workday. Blending passion with business keeps things exciting and fulfilling. These recharge moments fuel the energy and creativity I need for the week ahead. And, when those wins — big or small — come rolling in, I always take a breath to celebrate the progress. It's a great morale boost that reminds me why I love the hustle. 6. Stay flexible and keep learning If I've learned anything across my 30+ businesses, it's that adaptability is a must. Every venture throws new curveballs and every mistake is another lesson in disguise. Sometimes, I would take on too much or get hung up on tasks I should have let go, but every stumble made me a better business owner. Keeping up with market trends, being open to pivots and investing in self-development — whether by attending conferences, coaching platforms, diving into leadership books or connecting with other entrepreneurs — makes me more effective and keeps my companies ahead of the curve.

Enjoy the ride Juggling multiple businesses can feel like a high-wire act (and sometimes, it is), but with planning, the right team and an openness to learning, it's absolutely possible — and incredibly rewarding. No entrepreneur starts as a master juggler. Skills build over time, and the satisfaction that comes from watching your business thrive is second to none. So, trust the process, enjoy your wins and go show the world just how much you can accomplish! Whether you're just starting or already deep into the entrepreneurial juggle, I hope these tips can help you make the most of your amazing adventure.
