As global temperatures continue to climb, the number of heat-related deaths is anticipated to rise significantly. Bloomberg posted on X, highlighting that the impact of these rising temperatures will vary across countries, influenced by both economic status and climatic conditions. Wealthier nations may have more resources to mitigate the effects of extreme heat, while poorer countries could face greater challenges in protecting their populations. The disparity in resources and infrastructure will play a crucial role in determining how different regions cope with the increasing heat.

Swiss private bank Banque Syz is experiencing internal conflict due to differing views on its crypto strategy. According to PANews, Marc Syz has departed from the bank following disagreements with his father, Eric Syz, over plans to integrate crypto vault company Future Holdings into the bank's alternative assets division, Syz Capital. Marc Syz, along with business partner Richard Byworth, is now preparing for a dual listing of Future Holdings in Sweden and Switzerland and plans to establish an independent asset management company. Earlier this year, Future Holdings merged with Swedish-listed company H100 Group, resulting in an entity that holds approximately 3,500 bitcoins, making it one of Europe's largest corporate bitcoin holders. Marc Syz advocates for increased investment in alternative assets, artificial intelligence, and digital assets, expressing concern that some institutions overly rely on Switzerland's reputation as a safe haven to sustain their operations. The bank confirmed the departure of Marc Syz and Byworth, stating that alternative investments remain a core pillar of the bank. Under Marc's leadership, Syz Capital's assets under management grew to approximately 2 billion Swiss francs, and following his departure, the team is now led by the group's Chief Financial Officer.

According to the announcement from Binance, the platform has expanded its Soft Staking feature to support Ethereum (ETH), allowing users to earn staking rewards on selected tokens directly from their Spot Accounts. Soft Staking provides flexibility, enabling users to trade, withdraw, or utilize their tokens while simultaneously earning rewards. The rewards are generated through an on-chain proof of stake mechanism and are distributed daily in the respective native token to users' Spot Accounts. The calculation of rewards is based on the daily average balance of eligible tokens held in users' Spot Accounts. The addition of Ethereum (ETH) brings the total number of supported tokens for Soft Staking to 19, including BNB, SOL, ADA, TRX, TON, SUI, NEAR, APT, POL, ALGO, IOTA, AXS, EGLD, THETA, DASH, STRK, S, and BABY. To qualify for rewards, users must meet the minimum holding requirement for each token in their Spot balance, with a cap on the eligible holding amount. Balances exceeding this cap will not earn additional rewards. Users can activate Soft Staking via the Earn section on the Binance website or app, following a simple process to start earning rewards. Binance emphasizes that users should refer to the Soft Staking Terms, Binance Terms of Use, and the Risk Warning before utilizing the Soft Staking feature. The platform notes that average daily snapshots of the Spot Account will commence at 00:00 (UTC) the day after activation, with staking rewards distributed between 00:00 and 08:00 (UTC) the following day. Binance reserves the right to amend or cancel the announcement at its discretion without prior notice. Users are advised to consider the volatility of digital asset prices and the potential risks involved in investment decisions.

Gold's safe-haven demand is re-emerging as expectations for easing Middle East tensions and a weakening U.S. dollar come into play, according to Christopher Wang, a strategist at Singapore's OCBC Bank. This development underscores gold's enduring appeal as a safe-haven asset, despite previous pressures from a strong dollar. According to Jin10, the current market dynamics suggest that gold prices may continue to be influenced by the Federal Reserve's policy trajectory, the dollar's performance, and geopolitical shifts in the short term. However, the recent rebound indicates that price declines might still find support unless there is a significant rise in real yields.
