Since enlisting President Donald Trump's eldest sons, Dominari appeared in a series of deals involving the Trumps and their allies. One of the highest profile of these is American Bitcoin Corp., a company spun up with help from another publicly traded Bitcoin miner called Hut 8. At the end of June, Dominari held a stake in American Bitcoin valued at $32 million, the largest of its long term private holdings, according to its quarterly financial statement. Soon American Bitcoin will become public, in another transaction expected to close in the coming weeks.
Another major deal came in June: crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun's father invested $100 million in SRM Entertainment, with Dominari acting as placement agent. SRM, a money-losing toymaker, re-branded as Tron and pivoted to accumulating TRX, the virtual token that backs Sun's Tron network.

Govt to decriminalise 1,000 minor offences, overhaul IP regime

New Delhi: The government will identify 1,000 provisions penalising minor offences within the next 45 days for decriminalisation, commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal said on Wednesday. He also invited stakeholder inputs for a review of various laws governing intellectual property (IP) to simplify and make them more user-friendly. Based on the feedback, the government may amend existing laws or introduce new ones, as was done with the new Income Tax Bill.

"We are focused on data exclusivity, but without evergreening creeping into our system," Goyal told IP stakeholders, warning that patent evergreening could result in costly medicines and invite retaliatory taxes from other countries. Goyal described data exclusivity as the "last missing link" before India could attract significant R&D inflows. He noted that two of the most dissatisfied stakeholders with India's patent laws - Switzerland and the UK - have already completed an IP chapter with India in ongoing trade negotiations. Live Events

Europe finally embraces air conditioning, amid heat waves

As Europe sweats through another summer of record-high temperatures, much of the continent is undergoing a rapid and often tense transformation. Once seen as an American excess or Mediterranean necessity, air conditioning is becoming a fixture of life in places where it was long considered a luxury or even unwelcome. The shift reflects a new climate reality: Extreme heat is no longer rare across much of Europe. It's increasingly the new norm.

Power grids - many designed for milder climates - are already under strain. On the hottest days, electricity demand spikes and often outpaces what renewables can supply. Governments are now facing a tough question: how to keep their countries cool without driving up emissions or triggering blackouts. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Best Method for a Flat Stomach After 50 (It's Genius!) Lulutox Undo The evolution is apparent in France's Medoc region, where the city of Bordeaux hit a record-high 41.6C (106.9F) this week. Historic buildings like the Chateau Monbrison - a centuries-old wine estate - have been forced to adapt. This spring, the owners installed air conditioning - discreet Mitsubishi Compact+ units mounted against the exposed stone walls to preserve the chateau's traditional charm. Live Events The trend tracks across Europe. Cooling systems, once reserved for the most scorched parts of Italy and Spain, are an increasingly common sight further north, in places like the Netherlands and the UK. Residential AC purchases have doubled in Europe since 2010, according to Daikin Industries , one of the continent's biggest manufacturers. Electronics marketplace Galaxus recently reported record sales in Germany and Austria, and Samsung Electronics Co. is boosting its training budget in Europe for AC installations by an average of 10% each year. France has now overtaken Italy and Spain as the fastest-growing air conditioning market in Europe for Hitachi . Household AC penetration there rose to 25% by 2020, from 14% in 2016, the company said. By 2035, about half of French homes are expected to have a unit. The boom in business is anchored by a troubling fact: Europe is warming at twice the global average. Cooling degree days - or how often and how intensely buildings require cooling - have more than tripled in Paris over the past two decades, according to data from Eurostat. France's capital now experiences heat comparable to Barcelona in the late 1990s. Berlin's temperatures mirror those historically recorded in Turin. And the climate in Brussels resembles what parts of Croatia were like 25 years ago. Even countries long considered too cold for cooling are changing their ways. The market for air conditioning in Scandinavia, once tiny, is registering measurable growth. "Cooling used to be a luxury," said Simon Pezzutto, a researcher who has tracked cooling demand in Europe for over a decade. Today, "it's a commodity of primary necessity." Governments are searching for a path forward. Austria's latest national energy plan explicitly cites rising cooling demand as a risk to grid stability. France, too, has warned of future peaks during the summer because of unchecked AC use. These aren't theoretical concerns. As a heat wave gripped southern Europe in June, electricity grids in Italy buckled, leading to blackouts in several regions. "That synchronized spike in demand - sometimes compressed into a matter of hours - puts immense pressure on national grids," said Isabella Nardini, Manager of International Affairs at the Fraunhofer Research Institution for Energy Infrastructures and Geotechnologies. Part of the problem relates to consumer preferences. Many shoppers are opting for small, portable units, which are more affordable and easy to install, but less energy-efficient than other models. Globally, the International Energy Agency says that space cooling already accounts for 10% of electricity consumption in buildings, and Europe's share is only expected to rise. In response, fossil fuel plants - especially gas and coal - are increasingly fired up to meet surging demand. "Rising air conditioning use is propping up fossil fuel generation during times when renewables underperform," said Sabrina Kernbichler, lead power analyst at Energy Aspects. Even if Europe's needs are met, adapting the continent's aging building stock poses another logistical challenge. Many older homes were designed to retain heat. That's an advantage in winter, but a problem in today's longer, hotter summers. Every year, only about 1% of buildings are renovated.

Oppn-ruled states cry foul as Andhra Pradesh gets semiconductor project

New Delhi: The Union Cabinet's nod for a semiconductor facility in Andhra Pradesh has triggered a political controversy , with Opposition-ruled states accusing the Centre of weaning away investments and directing them to NDA-ruled states. The Centre's nod to a semiconductor manufacturing facility by Advanced System in Package Technologies Private Limited with an expected investment of ₹1,500 crore in Andhra Pradesh under Indian Semiconductor Mission (ISM) has run foul of Opposition-ruled states.
