Ripple is the catchall name for the cryptocurrency platform, the transactional protocol for which is actually XRP, in the same fashion as Ethereum is the name for the platform that facilitates trades in Ether. Like other cryptocurrencies, Ripple is built atop the idea of a distributed ledger network which requires various parties to participate in validating transactions, rather than any singular centralized authority. That facilitates transactions all over the world, and transfer fees are far cheaper than the likes of bitcoin. Unlike other cryptocurrencies, XRP transfers are effectively immediate, requiring no typical confirmation time.  Ripple was originally founded by a single company, Ripple Labs, and continues to be backed by it, rather than the larger network of developers that continue bitcoin’s development. It also doesn’t have a fluctuating amount of its currency in existence. Where bitcoin has a continually growing pool with an eventual maximum, and Ethereum theoretically has no limit, Ripple was created with all of its 100 billion XRP tokens right out of the gate. That number is maintained with no mining and most of the tokens are owned and held by Ripple Labs itself — around 60 billion at the latest count.  Even at the recently reduced value of around half a dollar per XRP, that means Ripple Labs is currently sitting on around $20 billion worth of the cryptocurrency (note: Ripple’s price crashed hard recently, and may be worth far less than $60 billion by time you read this). It holds 55 billion XRP in an escrow account, which allows it to sell up to a billion per month if it so chooses in order to fund new projects and acquisitions. Selling such an amount would likely have a drastic effect on the cryptocurrency’s value, and isn’t something Ripple Labs plans to do anytime soon.  In actuality, Ripple Labs is looking to leverage the technology behind XRP to allow for faster banking transactions around the world. While Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are built on the idea of separating financial transactions from the financial organizations of traditional currencies, Ripple is almost the opposite in every sense.  XRP by Ripple price can be found on this page alongside the market capitalization and additional stats.

China has threatened Mexico with countermeasures should it formalize its plan to hike tariffs on Asia-made cars to 50%."China will take necessary measures," China’s Ministry of Commerce said in a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.mofcom.gov.cn/xwfb/xwfyrth/art/2025/art_e6fa3d4bfa6b48c8b49ccfc833a330f2.html">statement</a> Thursday, responding to Mexico’s plans to impose tariffs ranging from 10% to 50% on goods from nations without a free trade agreement with it, which includes China."Any unilateral tax increase by the Mexican side, even within the framework of WTO rules, will be regarded as appeasement (to the United States) and compromise against unilateral bullying," a translation of the statement read. China believes that such a move would harm the business environment in Mexico.Mexican Economy Secretary Marcelo Ebrard said Wednesday that the government intends to hike tariffs on vehicles imported from Asia — especially from China — to 50%, up from the present 20%.He added that the measure requires approval from Congress and would be implemented 30 days after authorization.The new tariffs proposed by Mexico will also affect imports from South Korea, India, Indonesia, Russia, Thailand, and Turkey.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s clampdown on China and the frosty relationship between the two countries have reportedly led American businesses to look elsewhere.&nbsp;The American&nbsp; Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) said in Shanghai on Wednesday that about 47% of U.S. businesses surveyed said they have redirected planned China investments over the past year, marking the highest on record, a CNBC&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/09/10/record-share-of-us-businesses-divert-china-investments-amcham-shanghai-.html">report</a> stated.The survey was conducted by the association between May 19 and July 20, and the question about investment intention was first asked in the study in 2017.The respondents said they had diverted their investments to Southeast Asia — a region comprising countries like Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, and Brunei.The investment destination that was favored after Southeast Asia is the Indian subcontinent, comprising countries such as India and Bangladesh, followed by the U.S. and Mexico.Apple, which was almost entirely reliant on China and Chinese firms operating in Taiwan before it began diversifying its supply chain amid geopolitical challenges, has stepped up its efforts in that direction. The tariff standoff has forced the company to manufacture most of its U.S.-bound iPhones in India.The equity markets of both countries have largely shrugged off the tariff threat. The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY)</a> and the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QQQ">Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ)</a>, exchange-traded funds (ETF) that track the S&amp;P 500 Index and the Nasdaq 100 Index, have gained 11.63% and 13.85%, respectively, for the year. Meanwhile, the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MCHI">iShares MSCI China ETF (MCHI)</a> has risen a steeper 35.71%.AmCham Shanghai President Eric Zheng reportedly suggested the 90-day pause the U.S. and China agreed to in August may not be an incentive for the American firms. “For a company, 90 days, that’s just way too short,” he said, adding that supply chain planning is done for a longer term.After the U.S. announced steep tariffs as part of the “Liberation Day” levies in early April, the rates were ratcheted up following moves and counter moves. Since then, the two countries have met at least three times to resolve the trade dispute, although a preliminary framework agreement is yet to be worked out.AmCham Chair Jeffrey Lehman said China’s retaliatory tariffs also dampened investment decisions as inputs used to build products are often sourced from the U.S.&nbsp;The survey also found that U.S. companies viewed their Chinese rivals as more advanced on six of the eight criteria, including speed to market and adoption of artificial intelligence (AI).Information available on AmCham’s website showed it has more than 3,000 members, including over 1,000 companies ranging from startups to the largest global multinational corporations. It counts among its members companies such as Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOGL), 3M (MMM), Cisco (CSCO), Ford&nbsp; (F), Meta (META), Tesla (TSLA) and NXP (NXPI).For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/lisa-cook-stays-on-fed-board-as-judge-stymies-trump-s-first-for-cause-removal-attempt/chwkcGDRdMk">Lisa Cook Stays On Fed Board as Judge Stymies Trump’s First ‘For Cause’ Removal Attempt</a>

President Donald Trump’s attempts to remove Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) Governor Lisa Cook, alleging mortgage fraud, faced a setback as a federal court judge temporarily stayed the move.U.S. District Judge for the District Court of Columbia Jia Cobb said, “The Court will enter an injunction directing [Jerome] Powell and the Board of Governors to allow Cook to continue to operate as a member of the Board for the pendency of this litigation.The court declined the government’s request to stay its decision pending any approval, Cobb said in a 49-page ruling.&nbsp; “The public interest in this case is not only limited to the interests of the Executive Branch. There is a substantial public interest in having governmental actors like the President abide by the federal laws.”“The Court recognizes that this case involves the first ‘for cause’ removal of a Federal Reserve Board Governor, and as a result, raises important matters of first impression. However, for the reasons stated in this opinion, the Court finds that the balance of equities would not be in the Government’s favor,” the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show_public_doc?2025cv2903-27">ruling</a> read.The ruling allows Cook to participate in next week’s widely-awaited meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), which is the rate-setting committee of the central bank. The stock market has baked in an interest rate cut at the meeting, with the broader S&amp;P 500 trading shy of its all-time high and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite at a record.The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY)</a> and the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QQQ">Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ)</a>, exchange-traded funds (ETF) that track the S&amp;P 500 Index and the Nasdaq 100 Index, have gained 11.63% and 13.85%, respectively, for the year.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward the SPY ETF was ‘bullish’ (56/100) as of late Tuesday, while that toward the QQQ ETF was ‘bearish’ (21/100). The message volume on both streams remained ‘normal.’At the July FOMC meeting, Fed Governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman dissented, favoring a rate cut over the central bank's status quo stance. The 7-member board is depleted following the resignation of Adriana Kugler in early August. Trump’s nominee, Stephen Miran, attended the Senate Banking Committee hearing last week and is widely expected to be confirmed.Tuesday’s ruling was in response to a petition filed by the Department of Justice (DoJ), which alleged that Cook had listed two of her properties, an Atlanta condominium and a Michigan home, as her primary residence in 2021 to obtain favorable mortgage terms.The DoJ’s move followed the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s Bill Pulte, making a criminal referral to the agency, and Trump’s attempt to fire the Fed official. Cook subsequently filed a lawsuit, asking the court to declare the president’s firing order as “unlawful and void.” She added Powell as a defendant in the lawsuit.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/nvda-orcl-gme-bofa-nclh-what-sparked-heavy-after-hours-trading/chwkbSHRdM0">Nvidia, GameStop, Oracle, Bank of America, Norwegian Cruise Line: What Sparked Heavy After-Hours Trading In These 5 Stocks?</a>

China’s services sector grew at the fastest pace since May 2024, driven by a surge in new orders and a stronger-than-expected rise in export business.According to S&amp;P Global data, the headline RatingDog China General Services Business Activity Index rose to 53.0 in August, up from 52.6 in July. The 50 mark separates growth from contraction and extends the current period of growth that began in January 2023.“This was largely driven by more stable domestic demand and a recovery in foreign demand. At the same time, service sector businesses remained optimistic about the future, with overall confidence the joint-highest since March,” Yao Yu, the founder at RatingDog, said.The Chinese economy has struggled to gather momentum after the pandemic, hurt by a property market slowdown and a dip in consumer sentiment. Beijing has taken several steps to boost consumption, including fresh incentives, and has also declared a war on brutal price wars, which have had a deflationary effect on the economy.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about the <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MCHI">iShares MSCI China ETF</a> (MCHI) was in the ‘bullish’ territory at the time of writing.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:790/89;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/MCHI_Sept_3_JPG_6fab69e04b.webp" alt="MCHI’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 02:33 a.m. ET on Sept. 3, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits" width="790" height="89"><figcaption>MCHI’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 02:33 a.m. ET on Sept. 3, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>The report added that successful business development efforts, improvements in market conditions, and increased tourism were key drivers of sales growth. China also benefited from strong exports as Beijing and Washington, D.C., agreed to extend a tariff truce in July.However, in a worrying sign, average input costs continued to tick higher in August, based on higher wages and raw material costs, marking the sixth successive month of cost inflation. The Chinese firms opted to absorb most of those cost increases to maintain market share amid intense competition.“The persistent pressure on output prices, and thereby profits, suggests that the service sector recovery may be imbalanced,” Yao noted.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/top-bank-of-japan-official-believes-trump-s-tariffs-go-beyond-economics/chwTnyjRdFu">Top Bank Of Japan Official Believes Trump’s Tariffs Go Beyond Economics: ‘Cultural Protest Against Intellectual Elites’</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Chinese President Xi Jinping reportedly said on Wednesday that the world was staring at a choice of “peace or war” and “dialogues or confrontation,” amid a military parade commemorating the end of the Second World War, attended by the leaders of Russia and North Korea.According to a CNBC <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/09/03/china-military-day-parade-xi-trump-beijing-us.html">report,</a> Xi also put focus on the role of the Chinese military in defending the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. However, he did not name Taiwan.Xi’s speech came as U.S. President Donald Trump signaled his displeasure about the meeting between American adversaries on his Truth Social platform. Trump asked Xi to recognize U.S. contributions in gaining China’s freedom and also accused Beijing of conspiring against Washington, D.C.“Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against the United States of America,” Trump <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115137717177283585">wrote</a> late on Tuesday.The so-called “Victory Day” parade, commemorating the defeat of invading Japanese forces, has been attended by leaders of over 20 countries, with Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un being the most prominent among the attendees.Beijing aims to bolster its diplomatic footprint amid U.S. President Donald Trump’s “America First” policies, which have raised question marks over Western alliances.

China's top economic planner has warned that it would prevent excess competition and wasteful spending in its artificial intelligence sector, even as the country's tech giants roll out new AI models at a rapid clip to catch up with their Western counterparts."We will resolutely avoid disorderly competition or a 'follow-the-crowd' approach," Zhang Kailin, an official with the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), said in a media briefing on Friday, according to a Bloomberg&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-08-29/china-warns-against-disorderly-competition-in-booming-ai-race">report</a>.The goal is to leverage China's distinctive strengths to foster growth without duplicating efforts, according to Zhang. The NDRC is responsible for formulating and coordinating the country's economic and social development strategies, policies, and reforms.The official's remarks echo those of Chinese President Xi Jinping, who cautioned against excessive investment in AI by local governments last month. Observers noted those comments as evidence of Chinese policymakers' desire to avoid a repeat of the overcapacity seen in other emerging industries, such as electric vehicles, which has contributed to deflationary pressures.Chinese companies, led by Alibaba, Baidu, ByteDance, and DeepSeek, have significantly expanded their AI services this year. Those developments have been funded by the companies themselves, although China has announced a venture capital fund and an action plan to support the growth of the AI industry.The comments about the AI industry come a month after the Chinese regulator, the State Administration for Market Regulation, instructed food delivery players Meituan, Alibaba's Ele.me, and JD Takeaway to tone down spending on promotions and discounts.Meanwhile, top Chinese companies seem to have held up under pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs.

U.S. President Donald Trump's foreign and trade policies are redrawing the dynamics among countries that find themselves on the losing side of his agenda.A new report by Bloomberg, published on Thursday, stated that China reached out to India in March, and India began responding constructively in June as India's trade negotiations with the U.S.&nbsp;became contentious.&nbsp;Chinese President Xi Jinping wrote a letter to Indian President Droupadi Murmu, expressing concerns about any U.S. deals that would harm China’s interests and suggesting engagement to improve India-China ties, Bloomberg&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-08-28/secret-xi-letter-revived-india-ties-after-trump-tariff-barrage">reported</a>, citing an unnamed Indian official.Xi’s letter named a provincial official who would steer Beijing’s efforts. The message was also passed on to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the time.By August, Indo-Chinese ties appeared to have moved past the souring triggered by&nbsp;a major border skirmish in 2020, with Modi scheduled to visit China for the first time in seven years this weekend.The U.S. has been high-handed with China, setting insurmountable import duties on the country just after Trump first announced the tariff rates for all countries in April.After multiple revisions and rollovers, the current rates are lower, with the U.S. and China engaged in talks for a permanent agreement, giving global markets some relief.India's negotiations with its long-time friendly partner soured rather abruptly when Trump last month accused India of supporting Russia and its war in Ukraine by buying large quantities of Russian oil.

Trump Tariffs Pushed China's Xi To Quietly Court India, Triggering Rare Cooperation Between Asian Rivals: Report

China first reached out to India in March to improve ties, and both sides have been engaging constructively since June.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will join Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping in a Beijing parade on Sept. 3, marking a show of close ties and diplomacy in&nbsp;Eurasia at&nbsp;a time of crucial negotiations led by the U.S. to set global trade tariffs and end the Ukraine war.Kim's guest appearance at the parade, meant to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, was confirmed by North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency and China's state-run Xinhua News Agency on Thursday.The event is a major one on the political calendar for Chinese President Xi, who will be at the center of much of the activity in Tiananmen Square, according to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-08-28/north-korea-s-kim-jong-un-will-attend-china-s-military-parade">Bloomberg</a>."China and the DPRK are friendly neighbors, connected by mountains," Assistant Foreign Minister Hong Lei said at a briefing Thursday, referring to North Korea by its official name, according to a Bloomberg report.&nbsp;China has long served as North Korea's primary supporter, offering crucial economic assistance that has sustained the regime. Washington and its allies have often pressed Beijing to leverage that influence to rein in Kim's nuclear program.This would be the first in-person meeting between Kim and Xi since 2019.U.S. President Donald Trump has also offered to meet with Kim since taking office in January, but a meeting has not materialized yet.Meanwhile, Trump has repeatedly pushed Russia and Ukraine to end their war; however, a recent summit in Alaska between Trump and Putin did not yield any results. Instead, Trump has stepped up criticism of India and announced higher tariffs on the country for importing high quantities of Russian oil and indirectly supporting Moscow's war in Ukraine.The war has also drawn North Korea closer to Russia in recent years; the U.S. and South Korean officials have said that Pyongyang has been supplying weapons and troops to help aid Russia.For investors, Trump’s tariff policy with respect to China, the world’s biggest technology market and one of the biggest U.S. trading partners, is the central issue to watch.&nbsp;Businesses and economies on both sides have faced strain; however, with Washington and Beijing easing tariffs and working toward a permanent agreement, markets have improved of late.The benchmark S&amp;P 500 (SPX) recently hit a record high and is up 10.2% year-to-date.

Kim, Putin, Xi To Stand Shoulder-To-Shoulder In Beijing Parade Amid Growing Tensions With Trump

The move underscores deepening diplomatic ties in Eurasia, seen as a signal to U.S. President Donald Trump, who has ramped up trade pressure on China while seeking to draw Russia toward ending the war in Ukraine.

China’s industrial profits declined again in July, but at a significantly slower pace compared to earlier months, indicating the impact of Beijing’s measures against price wars.According to National Bureau of Statistics data, the profit fell 1.5% in July compared to the same period a year earlier. This compares to a 4.3% fall in June and a 9.1% slip in May.Till July, the total profits of industrial enterprises fell 1.7%, compared with the first seven months of last year. The declines were led by the mining industry, which logged a year-over-year decrease of 31.6%, primarily due to a plunge in coal earnings amid concerns about oversupply, and strong growth in renewable energy capacity.The country’s manufacturing industry grew by 4.8% over the same period, led by a 11.7% increase in the electrical machinery and equipment manufacturing industry.The figures released on Wednesday suggest that China’s efforts to combat unsustainable price levels may be having an impact. Beijing launched a multi-pronged so-called “anti-involution” campaign in July to end the deflationary price wars after realizing that industrial overcapacity might stunt growth amid trade uncertainty.According to a Reuters News report, China’s program aims to channel investment funds into advanced manufacturing, control production in highly competitive industries such as steel, oversee pricing and subsidies in electric vehicles, and food delivery.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/FXI">iShares China Large-Cap ETF</a> (FXI) was in the ‘extremely bullish’ territory at the time of writing.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:795/95;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/FXI_Aug_27_JPG_f208acf46f.webp" alt="FXI’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 03:32 a.m. ET on Aug. 27, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits" width="795" height="95"><figcaption>FXI’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 03:32 a.m. ET on Aug. 27, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>However, Beijing will likely need to wait longer before declaring victory over the price wars.

China is continuing to bring to market new artificial intelligence (AI) models at a breakneck pace, challenging the dominance of Western AI companies like OpenAI and Google.On Thursday, TikTok owner ByteDance and DeepSeek announced new AI models. ByteDance released three variants of its Seed-OSS-36B open-source AI model, which is known for its long-context window processing and various developer-friendly features.Chinese AI firms are closing the gap with their U.S. rivals by leaning on an open-source strategy. Most Chinese AI models are open source, enabling developers to use, modify, and distribute the code. The approach is aimed at driving broader adoption across the ecosystem.Citing recent benchmark tests,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/BYTEDANCE">ByteDance</a> said the new model either matched or surpassed the capabilities of similar-sized models from Alibaba, Google, and OpenAI, as well as the firm's own Seed 1.6 model. ByteDance forayed into AI models with its Doubao LLM in May last year.DeepSeek, which rose to prominence earlier this year with AI models developed at a fraction of the cost compared to Western models, upgraded its flagship V3 model on Thursday.The version offers faster processing and includes a feature that optimizes V3 for Chinese-made chips. The modification is particularly crucial as China pushed for local development of advanced chips, including those suited for AI workloads.The developments come amid rapid growth in the Chinese AI industry, led by tech heavyweights&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/BABA">Alibaba</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/BIDU">Baidu</a>, which have released several iterations of their Qwen and Ernie AI, respectively.Chinese tech stocks have rallied this year on the back of AI advances, though gains have been tempered by U.S. tariff announcements and a recent surge in investment in the China's food delivery space.Still, the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MCHI">iShares MSCI China ETF (MCHI)</a>, which tracks Chinese stocks listed in the U.S., and the tech-focused&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/KWEB">KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (KWEB)</a>, have risen about 28% year-to-date.In recent news, Nvidia has&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/nvidia-on-track-to-extend-drop-on-h20-china-ai-chip-order-halt/chsmnkSRdiv">reportedly told its suppliers</a> to halt orders for its H20 chips, designed for the Chinese market in compliance with U.S. export controls.That compares to the 8.3% gain in the benchmark S&amp;P 500 (SPX) index.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
