The White House has confirmed that Elon Musk and Apple CEO Tim Cook will be part of a high-profile business delegation joining President Donald Trump on a state visit to China scheduled for May 13-15. The trip centers on meetings with President Xi Jinping, with a focus on securing commercial deals and procurement agreements across major industries. They won’t be traveling alone. The delegation reads like a Fortune 500 guest list, with BlackRock CEO Larry Fink and Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon also confirmed as attendees. China’s Foreign Ministry confirmed the visit on May 11. The dealmaking delegation Musk’s inclusion is arguably the most interesting name on the list. Tesla has significant manufacturing operations in China, including its Shanghai Gigafactory, which makes the automaker deeply dependent on the US-China relationship functioning smoothly. Cook’s presence follows a s

The post European Council restores full trade ties with Syria after 14 years appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
The European Council restored fuller trade ties with Syria on Monday, ending the partial suspension of a cooperation agreement that had limited parts of the relationship since 2011. The Council said the decision reinstates the full application of the EU Syria Cooperation Agreement and marks an important step toward strengthening bilateral relations. The move repeals the 2011 decision that suspended trade provisions after Bashar al Assad’s regime cracked down on anti government protests at the start of Syria’s civil war. The decision sends a clear political signal that the EU is willing to re engage with Syria and support its economic recovery, the Council said. The reinstated provisions cover trade related measures that had removed quantitative restrictions on imports of certain Syrian goods, including oil, petroleum products, gold, precious metals, and diamonds. The move c
The post Anchorage Steps Back From Robinhood and Kraken-Backed USDG Stablecoin Consortium appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
JUST News Anchorage Digital, the first federally chartered crypto bank in the United States, is dialing back its prominent role inside the Global Dollar (USDG) stablecoin consortium that counts Robinhood, Kraken, Galaxy Digital, OKX, Visa, Worldpay and Bullish among its members. Chief executive Nathan McCauley said the firm will adopt a posture of “increased neutrality” rather than actively promoting a single token. USDG, issued by Paxos Digital Singapore under Monetary Authority of Singapore supervision, carries a circulating supply of roughly $3 billion. Anchorage remains a consortium participant, but with as many as 20 banks and tech firms exploring white-label stablecoin issuance through its rails, the custodian is recalibrating incentives to avoid favoring any one issuer. Macro investor and former hedge fund manager Jordi Visser disclosed a fresh Ether pos
The European Commission is considering new rules that could restrict the use of cloud services from other countries for sensitive public data within the EU, according to sources cited by CNBC. The proposal is expected to be part of the EU’s upcoming “Tech Sovereignty Package,” which is slated to be presented May 27.
The idea is that certain types of data — such as those in healthcare, finance, and the judiciary — should be stored and managed to a greater extent on European cloud infrastructure. If put in place, the rules could affect dominant US players such as Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, and Google Cloud. All could consequently see their use restricted in sensitive public systems.
The move comes amid growing concern about dependence on US technology and legislation such as the US Cloud Act, which in some cases can give US authorities access to data even if it is stored in Europe.
