The picture that now emerges is frightening but not surprising. It shows how politicians and the super-rich use offshore structures to hide their wealth from the public. Among them emerge the acting prime minister of the Czech Republic, King Abdullah II of Jordan, the acting president of Ukraine and Tony Blair. Blair allegedly bought a property in London worth €7.5 million through a shell company and saved more than €300,000 in land transfer tax through special legal constructions.

𝗡𝗙𝗧𝘀 - The new NFT technology makes it possible to make not only digital art, but also other digital objects, such as tweets, tradable. The first tweet ever posted by Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey in 2006 was sold for the equivalent of $2.9 million earlier this year. However, the NFT movement did not stop there. Since recently, it is now possible to trade real events as NFT. Among others, world-famous athletes such as Tom Brady or Tiger Woods have started to offer the most legendary moments of their sporting career for sale as tokens. These can now be purchased by fans and/or collectors. The grandmasters of chess have now also made it onto the blockchain. In the form of an NFT, the most legendary chess moves of world champion Magnus Carlsen and other celebrities can now be traded.

𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘀 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀 - The Indian company, which has its SItz in Mumbai and has been around since 2009, plans to go public tomorrow (Thursday, 9/23-21). The company has a very broad product portfolio. The company earns 80 percent of its revenue from defense-related goods. THE remaining 20 percent comes from sales of space technology. In recent years, India's geopolitical tensions have increased enormously due to its proximity to countries such as Afghanistan and China. As a result, the Indian government has developed strong support programs for domestic defense companies to make India more militarily independent. These subsidies have also benefited Paras tremendously, allowing the company to grow even more in the future. One of the company's unique features is that all manufacturing, related testing and subsequent implementation of the technologies is done by Paras itself.

𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹 - Not only Evergrande ($EV1A) caused nervousness in the markets in recent days. Investors are also eagerly awaiting the meeting of the U.S. Federal Reserve on Wednesday evening European time.

The consensus is that tapering has not yet been directly addressed, but indirect hints to that effect will increase and a concept will be worked out for the November meeting.

In this tweet, the rapper professes to be "CozomoMedici" - a well-known, but just until now anonymous NFT collector who holds over $17 million worth of NFTs. Following this announcement, Snoop Dogg also gave one of his followers 1 ETH ($ETH-USD (-2.8%)) from CozomoMedici's wallet to prove that indeed he is the rightful owner of the NFT collection. Snop Dogg thus owns 9 CryptoPunks, 10 Meebits, and 10 Tom Sachs Rockets, among others. The crypto and NFT community celebrated this phenomenal announcement and as a result sent numerous joint and mariuhana NFTs to CozomoMedici's wallet address.

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 - Iron ore has had one of its worst weeks since 2008. One reason is the shutdown in demand from China. According to the Chinese government, steel production is expected to be maintained at around 1 billion tons this year. Tensions between Australia, the biggest producer of iron ore, and China are also a reason for the Chinese government to limit steel production.

They were asked to stop selling new cars with internal combustion engines from 2030. Wintershall was asked to stop oil and gas production projects by 2026. As the deadline set expired at ten o'clock last Monday, the lawsuits have now been filed. The basis is a calculation of the remaining CO2 budget available to carmakers to be in line with the Paris climate agreement.

On Monday night, the bitcoin price fell a whopping 2 percent in 2 hours to a daily low of $43,400. At the time of writing, the BTC price has not yet stabilized again and currently stands at $43,077.

It concerns thereby persons, who do not nourish themselves exclusively vegan, but consume increased climaticneutral and animal-free food. The company's product range currently consists of 120 purely vegan products. Veganz has been able to grow strongly, primarily due to the change in consumer buying behavior in recent years. Most recently, however, the company had to report a balance sheet deficit of 8.73 million euros, which was cured for the time being in June 2021 by an equity financing round of 11 million euros.

In an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, she wrote that a failure by the U.S. to meet its obligations could trigger a historic financial crisis from which the U.S. would emerge as a permanently weakened nation.

𝗘𝗹 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝘃𝗮𝗱𝗼𝗿 - The first country in which bitcoin ($BTC-EUR (+1.67%)) has been recognized as a legal currency is now going a step further and buying the "dip." The President of the Central American country Nayib Bukele announced via Twitter this Monday morning that the country purchased 150 BTC (~$6.75 million) and now holds a total of 700 BTC (~$31.5 million). Furthermore, Bukele shared of the "presidential notice" that you can't be beaten if you buy the dip. Within the country, there has been increased unrest in recent months due to the recognition of Bitcoin as a currency and the use of government funds to purchase the cryptocurrency. The rating agency Standard & Poor's Global also stated that the purchase of Bitcoin has a direct negative impact on the country's credit rating. Furthermore, S&P states that these actions reduce the country's chances of receiving international funding.
