Trump announces tariff deal with South Korea — U.S.'s 6th-biggest trading partner
President Trump announced Wednesday he has struck a trade deal with South Korea, imposing a 15% tariff on goods from the country. Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social that South Korean goods will face a 15% tariff — lower than the 25% he threatened earlier this month — while U.S. imports to South Korea will not face tariffs. He said South Korea will be "OPEN TO TRADE" and will accept U.S. automobiles. South Korea appears to be the latest key U.S. trading partner to reach an agreement with the Trump administration, ahead of a Friday deadline when Mr. Trump says he'll impose hefty tariffs on dozens of countries. The South Korean government has not publicly confirmed the deal. The president announced a deal with Japan last week and a deal with the 27-nation European Union on Sunday. Deals are still outstanding with the U.S.'s three largest single trading partners: Canada, Mexico and China. In addition to the 15% tariff, Mr. Trump said South Korea agreed to "give to the United States $350 Billion Dollars for Investments owned and controlled by the United States, and selected by myself." South Korea will also buy $100 million dollars' worth of liquified natural gas or other energy products, and will "invest a large sum of money for their investment purposes," the president said. South Korea was the U.S.'s sixth-largest trading partner last year, not including multi-country blocs like the European Union, according to Census Bureau data. The U.S. imported $131.5 billion worth of South Korean goods, and South Korea bought $65.5 billion in American goods. This is a breaking story; it will be updated.

Robinhood Just Reported a Blowout Quarter
Key Takeaways Robinhood Markets shares moved higher in after-hours trading on Wednesday after diluted earnings per share and revenue materially exceeded expectations. The online trading platform said its stellar results were driven by higher trading in options, crypto, and stocks. CEO Vlad Tenev called tokenization the industry's "biggest innovation" of the last Markets (HOOD) reported a blowout earnings beat The trading platform, which caters to retail investors, in its latest quarter benefitted from a return of speculative investing and meme-stock mania, with a jump in transaction-based revenue across categories. Year-over-year gains were driven by higher trading in options, crypto, as well as stocks. Robinhood's second-quarter earnings materially exceeded expectations. Its reported diluted earnings per share of $0.42, doubling year-over-year. Revenue came in at $989 million. Analysts surveyed by Visible Alpha expected $0.30 in diluted EPS and $920 million in revenue. Robinhood CFO Jason Warnick said on a conference call that the trading platform had a strong start to the third quarter, with July equity and options trading volumes setting monthly records. Crypto volumes at both Robinhood and its European crypto exchange Bitstamp are at six-month highs, he stock was relatively quiet in after-hours trading, recently rising about 1% after climbing a bit less than 3% in the regular session. The stock has been on an upward tear this year as it leaned into its crypto business and rolled out new products including blockchain-based stock tokens in Europe and staking for ethereum (ETHUSD) and solana (SOLUSD); the shares are up almost 170% year-to-date. CEO Vlad Tenev in a statement said Robinhood's "relentless product velocity" drove its strong second-quarter results and said tokenization was "the biggest innovation" the industry has seen in years. The company stands to benefit from relaxed day-trading rules if the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority heeds the brokerage's comments that guidelines were more harmful than helpful to investors, and a troublesome source of customer complaints. Robinhood raised its full-year outlook for adjusted operating expenses slightly to account for its acquisition of Bitstamp, which closed in the second quarter.

"A Whale of a Problem: Why Self-Custody Might Sink Bitcoin Giants"
For over a decade, the mantra for bitcoin holders has been clear: "not your keys, not your coins." But as bitcoin matures into a globally recognized asset, that mindset is no longer sufficient for whales managing hundreds of millions in BTC. The recent movement of over 80,000 BTC from eight Satoshi-era wallets — the largest such transfer in bitcoin's history – has reignited attention around how legacy holders manage and eventually unwind vast positions. Holding spot bitcoin directly, especially in large quantities, exposes investors to avoidable risk, operational headaches and regulatory friction — not to mention the kind of custody nightmares that can keep even the most seasoned holders up at night. Invest in Gold American Hartford Gold: #1 Precious Metals Dealer in the Nation Priority Gold: Up to $15k in Free Silver + Zero Account Fees on Qualifying Purchase Thor Metals Group: Best Overall Gold IRA An alternative exists in the form of regulated bitcoin exchange-traded products (ETPs) — a proven, equity-like structure with a strong track record. Physically backed crypto ETPs have been available in Europe for over seven products combine the transparency and safeguards of traditional markets with the innovation of digital assets — offering stronger security frameworks, improved liquidity access, tax and compliance efficiencies and the ability to use them as collateral for loans. For large holders, the case to move into regulated wrappers is becoming too strong to ignore. Liquidity is a major concern. Large holders who want to unwind a position often face significant slippage and counterparty risk on centralized exchanges. Alternatively, they must appoint external firms to manage the process, triggering time delays due to onboarding and KYC and often paying a premium in execution. With an ETP, the administrative hurdles are front-loaded; once onboarded, the investor has access to the ETP's liquidity pool, simplifying and accelerating exit strategies when timing matters. Many whales believe that self-custody maximizes security. In reality, managing large spot positions is incredibly complex. Key management, cold storage logistics, succession planning and internal controls require infrastructure that few individuals — or even crypto-native funds — can maintain securely at scale. Regulated ETPs sidestep this entirely by offering professionally managed custody solutions — combining segregated accounts, insurance coverage and direct oversight from financial regulators. European structures go even further with bankruptcy-remote frameworks and legal title to the underlying BTC. This isn't about giving up ownership, in fact, it is an upgrade to how that ownership is held: securely, transparently and with institutional-grade safeguards to avoid loss and fraud. For example, the Lazarus Group, one of North Korea's most notorious hacking organizations, has been responsible for a significant number of crypto-related breaches, resulting in the theft of $1.5 billion this year alone. Figure 1: Total value of crypto-hacks in USD over the past several years Source: Chainalysis European ETPs allow in-kind transfers which enable investors to move bitcoin directly into and out of the fund without triggering a taxable event. This is especially valuable in jurisdictions like Switzerland and Germany, where long-term holders can optimize capital gains treatment. For whales thinking long term, the flexibility of in-kind flow is a major upgrade. It also unlocks new financial optionality; rather than selling their bitcoin during a major life event like buying a home, investors can borrow against their ETP holdings and access liquidity without ever parting with the underlying asset and triggering capital gains. Self-custody will always have a place, especially for users in unstable regions or those needing financial sovereignty. But for whales with scale, the trade-offs of holding spot BTC are increasingly hard to justify. Bitcoin ETPs are simply less of a headache: they reduce risk, improve liquidity access, simplify compliance and offer long-term infrastructure for serious capital allocators, allowing big investors to sleep easy at night. The future of bitcoin ownership isn't about whether you can hold your keys, it's about whether you should.
