Indonesia, US eye wider critical minerals partnership after 'positive' meeting, top negotiator says
Indonesia and the US are exploring ways to deepen their collaboration on critical minerals, following what a top negotiator called a "positive" high-level meeting. While details are still emerging, the talks signal growing interest in securing supply chains for minerals essential to clean energy and tech manufacturing—a priority for both countries.
Editor’s Note: Critical minerals like nickel and cobalt are the building blocks of everything from electric car batteries to smartphones, and countries are scrambling to lock down reliable sources. Indonesia, a major global supplier, could become an even bigger player if this partnership takes off. For the US, it’s about reducing dependence on China and boosting green tech—so this isn’t just a trade story, it’s a glimpse into the geopolitical chessboard of the future.

The SEC opened the ‘floodgates’ for crypto ETFs, experts say, marking a new era for the industry
positiveFinancial Markets
The SEC's recent approval of crypto ETFs has experts buzzing—this could be the start of a major shift for the industry. Analysts predict a wave of new ETFs tied to cryptocurrencies like Solana and XRP, and even joke assets like Trump-themed memecoins might get in on the action. It’s a sign that crypto is gaining legitimacy in traditional finance, though skeptics warn the market could get overcrowded fast.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about Bitcoin anymore. The SEC’s move signals that crypto is being taken seriously by regulators, which could mean more investment options for everyday people and bigger money flowing into the space. But with excitement comes risk—more ETFs could mean more volatility or even speculative bubbles. Either way, it’s a turning point for how crypto fits into the financial world.
