Odaily Planet Daily reports that Bitget has launched the ERA Launchpool relay event. Users who participate in the BTC or ETH pools of the ERA Launchpool between July 18, 18:00 and July 20, 18:00 (UTC+8), and have a positive net deposit of BTC or ETH during this period, will be eligible to receive a 10% BTC and ETH savings interest rate coupon. The interest rate coupon will be automatically distributed to users' accounts within one business day after the Launchpool ends. After receiving the coupon, it must be activated and used within 7 days, otherwise it will automatically expire.

According to a report by Jinse Finance, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick stated in an interview with CBS News last Sunday that August 1 is the final deadline for countries to begin paying tariffs to the United States, but emphasized that "countries can still continue negotiations with the U.S. after August 1." Lutnick revealed that some smaller nations—Latin American countries, Caribbean countries, and many African countries—"will be subject to a 10% base tariff." This statement may offer some relief to these countries, as former President Trump had previously hinted that their base tariff rates could exceed 10%. However, he also noted, "Larger economies have only two options—either open their markets to the United States or pay a fair tariff." (Jin10)
