The Market at Malcolm Yards to add World Street Kitchen this month
Brothers Sameh and Saed Wadi founded World Street Kitchen over a decade ago, beginning with a food truck before establishing their popular neighborhood restaurant.
At the soon-to-be food hall location, which takes over the former Mr. Paul's Po' Boys and Jams space, World Street Kitchen will continue to offer dishes from across the globe.
"World Street Kitchen is cooking without borders," said Chef Sameh Wadi in a news release. "We source diverse ingredients worldwide to create unique and bold flavors. We can't wait to showcase our favorite dishes and celebrate global cuisine."
Yum Yum Rice Bowls, made with steamed rice, soft-cooked egg, and a "secret sauce", are perhaps World Street's Kitchen most-loved dish.
Both the Yum Yum Rice Bowls and Bangkok Burritos are made with Korean-style BBQ short ribs, crispy marinated tofu or chicken. Lemongrass meatballs and Vietnamese-style turmeric and dill fish are also offered on the rice bowl menu.
"We are excited to enhance our offerings and provide a diverse culinary experience for our guests," Patricia Wall, owner of The Market at Malcolm Yards, said in statement. "World Street Kitchen brings a new global and flavorful cuisine to The Market."
In a recent interview with Twin Cities Business Magazine, Wall confirmed she's looking to bring The Market at Malcolm Yards to the west metro.
Wall told the magazine she's eyeing St. Louis Park for a second location, which will ideally feature a rooftop patio.

South Korea Halts Crypto Lending as Market Leverage Sparks Regulatory Concern
South Korean financial authorities have temporarily suspended new crypto lending services in a direct response to a major liquidation event at a local exchange. This move highlights growing global concerns over excessive leverage in the digital asset market. The decision by the country's Financial Services Commission (FSC) follows a recent incident at Bithumb, where regulators noted that more than 27,000 customers tapped lending services in June. As market prices swung against them, a full 13% of these users were forced into liquidation. The authorities stated that this pause will last until formal "Virtual Asset Rental Service Guidelines" can be prepared. They justified the action by noting that "user protection devices... are insufficient" and that there were "concerns about damage to a healthy trading order." "Directionally it signals tighter oversight of leverage and retail risk rather than a permanent ban," Luke, co-founder of Layer-1 network Mitosis, told Decrypt about the suspension. This pause is "a signal that the government has identified they must provide further regulatory clarity to best protect investors," Austin King, co-Founder of Ethereum based layer-1 network Omni Network, told Decrypt. King believes it is "not scrutiny at all," but rather a government acknowledging its own "insufficient regulatory clarity" and creating "clear rules of the road." South Korea Flags Upbit and Bithumb's Crypto Lending, Margin Trading Services This incident is a micro-level example of a macro-level trend. According to a recent report by Galaxy Digital, leverage has been building across the crypto ecosystem, particularly since Bitcoin's all-time high in August. The report found that the combined value of outstanding crypto-collateralized borrows across both centralized and decentralized projects reached an all-time high of $44.25 billion, a nearly 30% increase from the previous quarter. On-chain lending grew by 42% to $26.5 billion, while open borrows on centralized platforms expanded by 14.66% to $17.78 billion. Cantor's $2 Billion Bitcoin Lending Business Makes First Transactions The Bitfinex analysts further highlight this growing fragility, noting that total liquidations have remained elevated, with average daily liquidations exceeding $350 million over the past 30 days. Coinalyze data shows more than $3 billion worth of positions have been liquidated in August so far, with an overwhelming contribution coming from short sellers. 'This tracks a wider pattern,' Luke added, placing South Korea's move into global context by mentioning MiCA in Europe and recent regulatory developments in the U.S. "The ratio of altcoin liquidations to BTC liquidations has surged to historically elevated levels," Bitfinex's July report stated. The build-up in leverage over the past month, particularly in the altcoin segment, suggests a return of speculative enthusiasm. It indicates that the crypto market is entering a more fragile phase with a heightened risk of liquidations. This, according to Austin King, is precisely why South Korea's swift action serves as a clear regulatory warning, providing a necessary "constraint on the max amount of leverage offered on derivative products" and creating a blueprint for other nations to follow.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Gets Triple Discount Before iPhone 17 Release
In one of its first promotions since the foldable phone launched, Samsung has released new voucher codes and offers to knock money off the Galaxy Z Fold 7. This comes just weeks before Apple's iPhone 17 lands, the device's chief rival. The most eye-catching deal is Samsung's double trade-in offer. The Korean company will pay for your old phone (more on pricing shortly) but also give you £200 ($270.05) for any tablet in any condition. In essence, allowing buyers to trade in two devices at once. If you don't have a tablet to trade in, you can pick up a cheap (working) one on the secondary market. Having spoken to a Samsung rep before about a similar 'any device in any condition' offer, they told me that the Korean company would honor that promise. I can't see any banana skins in the small print of the terms and conditions, either. Still, it's wise to send in a working device to be safe. Deal hunters can pick up a Lenovo TabM8 on eBay (or Swappa) for £33 ($44.56), or go even cheaper with older Asus and Galaxy Tab models for under £15 ($20.25). These low risk devices are absolutely worth buying and trading in to trigger that £200 ($270.05) discount. This deal can also be stacked with the company's regular smartphone trade-in programme. The prices don't match the Korean company's best, for example, it will only pay £253 ($341.61) for the Galaxy S23 Ultra compared to June's £449 ($606.26) price. An almost £196 ($264.65) difference. Clearly, the guaranteed £200 for any used tablet is where that extra trade-in discount went. Elsewhere, Samsung is selling the 512GB Galaxy Z Fold 7 for the price of the 256GB model using the code 'ZAUG'. Buyers can also get a free case using the code 'ZCASE'. All of these apply to U.K. shoppers only. Expect More Galaxy Z Fold 7 Deals As The iPhone 17 Release Draws Closer Samsung has long been shameless about aggressive deals in the face of competition. With the iPhone 17 launch slated for early September, the Korean company will almost certainly release new discounts for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and attempt to steal some of Apple's limelight. I expect to see higher trade-in prices for iPhones, alongside free some wearables. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is an important weapon for Samsung in its forever war with Apple, which doesn't have a foldable phone in its roster. Until the iPhone Fold lands, I can see Samsung doubling down on discounts for its foldable tech to exploit the product gap between the two companies. We will see more new initiatives to steal Apple's customers such as the Galaxy Z Fold 7 100-day free trial and the new standalone trade-in scheme. Samsung will be encouraged by news that its market share in the U.S. rose from 23% to 31% in the second quarter of 2025. Meanwhile Apple's market share has declined to 49% from 56%, according to Canalys (via CNBC). We have also seen that Samsung is gaining ground in the second hand phone market, with used Galaxy phones increasingly holding their value and selling for more with every release. Used iPhones still hold the most value, but the numbers are falling. Samsung's repeated discounts and promotions, alongside its trade-in pricing supremacy, appear to be paying off. It will want to repeat that success with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 for the second half of 2025.

Trump Targets Corporate America to Achieve Economic and Foreign Policy Goals
(Bloomberg) -- He didn't campaign on it. It wasn't even broached during his first administration. He criticized his predecessor for it. Chicago Schools Seeks $1 Billion of Short-Term Debt as Cash Gone A Photographer's Pipe Dream: Capturing New York's Vast Water System A London Apartment Tower With Echoes of Victorian Rail and Ancient Rome Why New York City Has a Fleet of New EVs From a Dead Carmaker Princeton Plans New Budget Cuts as Pressure From Trump Builds But this month President Donald Trump made clear that he's willing to use the full force of the US government to directly intervene in corporate matters to achieve his economic and foreign policy goals. Trump, backed by his team of Wall Street financiers, took the unprecedented step of seeking to collect a portion of money generated from sales of AI chips to China by Nvidia Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. And in a move that could see the US government become Intel Corp.'s largest shareholder, the administration is said to be in talks for taking a 10% stake in the beleaguered chipmaker. Last month, the Pentagon also decided to take a $400 million preferred equity stake in a little-known rare earth mining company. It's a series of moves that has surprised Wall Street and Washington policy veterans, who privately and publicly acknowledged they've never seen anything like it in their decades-long careers. The actions, if successful, could leave private investors and average 401(k) savings holders enriched while catapulting US national security further ahead of China. But they're also risky bets that could end with taxpayer losses and distort markets in ways investors can't predict. 'I'm very concerned that we're going to have these rolling sectors where the president starts saying 'you have to pay us just to sell internationally,'' Lee Munson, the chief investment officer at Portfolio Wealth Advisors, with $390 million in assets under management, said. 'Where does this end? I don't even know how to buy companies right now that have exposure to China that have high-tech IP.' The Trump administration's direct involvement in corporate matters is becoming a marker of the president's second term. Trump, a self-described dealmaker, has a mixed track record of success yet has vowed to bring more of a business approach to governing in Washington. In addition to the Nvidia and AMD revenue promise and potential Intel investment stake, his administration secured the 'Golden Share' from Nippon Steel Corp., a Japanese steelmaker that gives Trump personal power to make decisions on United States Steel Corp. corporate decisions. In these cases, the administration is picking winners and losers, and risks undermining the free flow of capital. 'The Trump administration's focus on industries like steel, semiconductors, and critical minerals is not arbitrary – these sectors are critical to our national and economic security,' White House spokesman Kush Desai said in an emailed statement. 'Cooled inflation, trillions in new investments, historic trade deals, and hundreds of billions in tariff revenue prove how President Trump's hands-on leadership is paving the way towards a new Golden Age for America.' Trump surprised markets earlier this month when he announced Nvidia and AMD agreed to pay the US government 15% of their revenue from AI chip sales to China. The move rankled investors, trade experts, lawmakers and others who feared a much broader slippery slope in which the federal government could begin forcing pay-for-play scenarios in everything from trade negotiations to defense contracts. Word that the White House is contemplating using Chips Act money to take a direct stake in chip-maker Intel added to the uncertainty around changing norms between private sector companies and the US government. The move could provide a much-needed boost to Intel's ambitious plan for a sparkling new chips facility in Ohio, which is vital to rebuilding domestic chip production in the US but which has been delayed amid shrinking sales and mounting losses at the company. SoftBank Group Corp. agreed this week to buy $2 billion of Intel stock in a surprise deal. 'Chinese Model' In America's free market economy, the government typically doesn't buy stakes in companies. There are exceptions, of course, such as during the financial crisis of 2008-2009, when it stepped in to support major names like Citigroup Inc., American International Group Inc. and General Motors Co. While Intel has performance issues to grapple with, it isn't facing the imminent threat of collapse. That's in part why investors, lawmakers, national security experts and others interviewed repeatedly referred to 'uncertainty' and 'uncharted territory' when asked to contemplate the risks associated with Trump's new policies. 'It's state direction that we haven't had in the US, it's very much the Chinese model making its way into US government,' Gary Hufbauer, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, said. The Trump administration's approach to public companies in the first year of his second term is in some ways an evolution of the economic statecraft tools he deployed in his first four years as president. Back then he deployed trade levers that hadn't been used in years or decades, from Section 301 tariffs on entire countries, like China, to Section 232 tariffs on sectors like steel and automobiles. The policies weren't popular and they rattled markets, but supporters argued that the tariffs tamped down Chinese and other foreign products that flooded the US market and drove some American companies out of business. Trump has continued to push the boundaries of using novel tools in his second administration. 'What we see here is when it comes to big economic questions like tariffs and fees for exports and also the MP Materials deal, he is willing to push legal boundaries on big economic issues in a way that he wasn't in the first term,' said Peter Harrell, a nonresident scholar for the American Statecraft Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Caitlin Legacki, a former Commerce Department official in the Biden administration, said an argument in favor of 'national champions' is understandable, however a 'lack of transparency' around the deals in concerning. 'Instead of making this a cause for national security or technological independence that people from both parties can rally around, it feels more like a shakedown,' she said. --With assistance from Josh Wingrove and Ryan Gould.
