Hong Kong Officials Pull Out of Crypto Event With Eric Trump

Hong Kong Officials Pull Out of Crypto Event With Eric Trump

The post Hong Kong Officials Pull Out of Crypto Event With Eric Trump appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Political sensitivities force Hong Kong officials to withdraw from Bitcoin Asia 2025. Eric Trump’s headline role highlights U.S. push for global crypto leadership. Hong Kong advances crypto hub ambitions despite U.S.-China trade tensions Hong Kong’s largest crypto conference hit a political landmine after a senior regulator and a legislator pulled out of its speaker lineup. The withdrawals from Bitcoin Asia 2025 came shortly after the announcement that Eric Trump, son of U.S. President Donald Trump, would headline the event. The event, scheduled for August 28–29 in Hong Kong, is one of the world’s most closely watched gatherings for digital asset investors and innovators. The sudden absence of local officials highlights the delicate position Hong Kong faces as it pushes to build a leading crypto hub while navigating tense U.S.-China relations. Related: China’s Answer to the Digital Dollar: A New Push for a Yuan-Backed Stablecoin Why Did the Hong Kong Officials Withdraw? Eric Yip Chee-hang, executive director at the Securities and Futures Commission, and legislator Johnny Ng Kit-chong, were both initially listed as speakers. However, their names were removed from the official agenda in mid-August.  Sources familiar with the matter said lawmakers were advised not to attend events that involve Eric Trump. The concern was that their attendance could be seen as a political nod to Washington. The withdrawals reflect the growing pressure on Hong Kong to avoid any appearance of aligning with the Trump administration, which has hit Hong Kong with tariffs of up to 145% on certain exports as trade tensions with China intensify. Eric Trump’s Growing Crypto Role Despite the local controversy, Eric Trump remains a central figure at Bitcoin Asia, where he is scheduled to lead two Friday sessions, including one titled “All in on Bitcoin.” His growing involvement in the digital asset sector comes through ventures…

According to Nithin Kamath, founder and CEO of brokerage giant Zerodha, Indian crypto trading platforms are witnessing a surge in derivatives activity.

Notably, asset managers across India are showing increased interest in Bitcoin, funds, exchange-traded products, and advanced trading strategies. The trend reflects that cryptocurrency, in various forms, has become a significant part of most investors’ portfolios in India. Unlike in recent years, when crypto comprised a minor slice of their investments. Related: A “Regulate, Not Ban” Stance on Crypto Newly Emerges from India’s Parliament Despite the existing complexities and high level of uncertainty within the sector, Kamath believes that the extra attraction for most investors towards Futures and Options in digital assets is the high leverage and low tax rates associated with these products compared to traditional markets.   SEBI mulls regulatory adjustment in equity derivatives In the meantime, the Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is planning to prolong the tenure of equity derivatives while aiming to curb gray market risks.

Is 2025 The Year Without A Song Of The Summer? ‘Ordinary’ Tops Charts As New Tracks Lag

Is 2025 The Year Without A Song Of The Summer? ‘Ordinary’ Tops Charts As New Tracks Lag

The post Is 2025 The Year Without A Song Of The Summer? ‘Ordinary’ Tops Charts As New Tracks Lag appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline Alex Warren’s chart-topping ballad “Ordinary” is this summer’s most popular song by the numbers, but critics and music fans have lamented that this summer seemed to have few breakout hits as the charts were led by slower songs and holdovers from 2024. Alex Warren’s song “Ordinary” is this summer’s most-streamed hit. (Photo by Lyvans Boolaky/WireImage) WireImage Key Facts “Ordinary” was the most-streamed song this summer on Spotify, the streaming service said Wednesday, and it also ranks No. 1 on Billboard’s Songs of the Summer chart, which is updated weekly based on the summer’s best-performing songs considering sales, streaming and radio data. But music critics have noted few new songs made a dent in the charts this summer: Of the top 10 on Billboard’s Songs of the Summer chart, only five were released this year as some 2024 smashes, like Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die with a Smile” and Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Luther,” continue to dominate. This summer’s hits also seem to lack the upbeat energy of 2024’s summer smashes like Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” or Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)”—behind “Ordinary,” the next three songs on Billboard’s summer chart are all Morgan Wallen country ballads. Critics’ lists declaring this year’s songs of the summer have largely skipped the chart-toppers, as lists from both the New York Times and the Guardian have almost zero overlap with either Spotify’s picks or the Billboard chart. Why Are Critics Saying There May Not Be A Song Of The Summer? Critics have lamented the lack of breakout hits this year. On an episode of Slate’s Culture Gabfest podcast, Slate writer and music critic Chris Molanphy called the options for this year’s song of the summer “hazy” and “boring,” calling 2024 a much better summer for hit songs. “There are two problems with this…

Disney Sues Sling TV Over Day Passes

Disney Sues Sling TV Over Day Passes

The post Disney Sues Sling TV Over Day Passes appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In this photo illustration, the Disney Plus logo is seen displayed on a smartphone screen. SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images The Walt Disney Co. is taking Sling TV to court. Deadline reports in an exclusive that the company is suing the Dish Network subsidiary for including its networks in short-term packages. Sling allows users to stream live TV and recently introduced a new pay-TV model for under seven-day bundles. While Sling’s services usually start at $45.99 a month, the new system includes a $4.99 day pass for a 24-hour period, a $9.99 Weekend Pass and a $14.99 7-day pass. However, on Tuesday, August 26, Disney filed a suit with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging that Sling did not consult the company about the new system. In the Deadline report, a Disney spokesperson said in a statement, “Sling TV’s new offerings, which they made available without our knowledge or consent, violate the terms of our existing license agreement. We have asked the court to require Dish to comply with our deal when it distributes our programming.” A Sling spokesperson made a statement to Deadline that the company will “vigorously defend our right to bring customers a viewing experience that fits their lives, on their schedule and on their terms.” The packages are radically different from the current streaming landscape. Currently, most companies offer free trial periods. However, after those periods, almost every service charges monthly or yearly. Even the advent of monthly subscriptions breaks from older TV provider models which, in the past, were historically at least yearly. Sling’s new model seems tailored especially to fans of sports and other live televised events. With the upcoming NFL season, the packages may be especially popular. Since Disney is the majority owner of ESPN and offers…

Cavaliers Lose Starter To Injury; Pressure Mounts To Land Free-Agent Target

Cavaliers Lose Starter To Injury; Pressure Mounts To Land Free-Agent Target

The post Cavaliers Lose Starter To Injury; Pressure Mounts To Land Free-Agent Target appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH – MARCH 23: Max Strus #1 of the Cleveland Cavaliers looks on during the first half of a game against the Utah Jazz at Delta Center on March 23, 2025 in Salt Lake City, Utah. NOTE TO USER: User expressly acknowledges and agrees that, by downloading and or using this photograph, User is consenting to the terms and conditions of the Getty Images License Agreement. (Photo by Alex Goodlett/Getty Images) Getty Images Cleveland Cavaliers wing Max Strus recently underwent surgery to address a Jones fracture in his left foot, per ESPN’s Shams Charania. He sustained the injury during an offseason workout. The projected timetable for Strus’s recovery is approximately three to four months. That’s for when he can return to basketball activities. The four-month mark will be right around Christmas. Strus didn’t debut in the 2024-25 campaign until late December due to offseason foot surgery. The six-year veteran started in 37 of the 50 games he appeared in. He has been a first-unit fixture in 107 of 120 tilts in his two-year tenure with the Cavaliers. The six-foot-five wing averaged 9.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 3.2 assists in 25.5 minutes of playing time last season. Strus also converted on 38.6 percent of the 5.9 three-point attempts he hoisted. A Jones fracture is a break in the fifth metatarsal. That’s the bone connecting the pinkie toe to the base of the foot. Strus’s injury puts pressure on Cavaliers’ free-agent pursuit Cleveland is among the teams vying for free agent Malik Beasley. After losing one sharpshooter for the first handful of months to open the upcoming campaign, landing another would cushion the blow. If that doesn’t happen, the Cavaliers can lean on their internal options. De’Andre Hunter is likely the leading candidate to start in Strus’s absence. Sam…

Jonah Tong May Help The Mets’ Rotation, But Who Can Rescue The Bullpen?

Jonah Tong May Help The Mets’ Rotation, But Who Can Rescue The Bullpen?

The post Jonah Tong May Help The Mets’ Rotation, But Who Can Rescue The Bullpen? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. NEW YORK, NEW YORK – AUGUST 15: Ryan Helsley #56 of the New York Mets hands the ball to manager Carlos Mendoza #64 as he is removed from a game against the Seattle Mariners in the seventh inning at Citi Field on August 15, 2025 in New York City. (Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images) Getty Images There was no rain in the forecast at Citi Field Tuesday afternoon, yet blue skies with harmless white clouds were surrounded by dark clouds approaching from both directions above the the scoreboards touting the imminent Mets-Phillies matchup. There has rarely been a more symbolic baseball sky for state of the Mets, who sandwiched a stormy meltdown by their bullpen in between the sunshine-filled announcement of Jonah Tong’s imminent promotion and Edwin Diaz getting five dominant outs before Brandon Nimmo’s walk-off hit in the ninth gave them a 6-5 win. To be fair, the same thing about the symbolic baseball sky could be said of the Phillies — who looked ready to end the NL East race this week before losing Monday and Tuesday as their Citi Field losing streak hit nine games — and everyone else in Major League Baseball. But no contender symbolizes the razor-thin line between World Series hopeful and complete disaster quite like the Mets, who had the best record in baseball through June 12 and possess the sixth-worst record since even after winning seven of their last 10 games. The much-needed surge began Aug. 16, when Nolan McLean provided a boost to a flailing rotation by tossing 5 1/3 scoreless innings in his big league debut and earning the victory in a 3-1 win over the Mariners. McLean was even better last Friday, when he went seven innings while beating the Braves. He is the only pitcher other than David…
