UK Treasury y plans to extend the income tax threshold freeze beyond 2028 to raise £7 billion yearly

UK Treasury y plans to extend the income tax threshold freeze beyond 2028 to raise £7 billion yearly

The post UK Treasury y plans to extend the income tax threshold freeze beyond 2028 to raise £7 billion yearly appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Rachel Reeves is weighing a plan to quietly drain more money from workers in the UK by stretching the income tax threshold freeze past 2028. The freeze has been in place since 2021, when the Conservatives locked the bands in without adjusting for rising prices. Now, according to The Telegraph, Reeves may extend it through the decade to help fill what analysts warn could be a £50 billion deficit. This plan means more people pay income tax as their wages increase. Some even get pushed into higher brackets without any new tax being introduced. It’s what economists call fiscal drag, and it’s turned into a multi-billion-pound machine for the Treasury. The Office for Budget Responsibility expects it to haul in £51 billion a year by the end of the decade. Reeves hasn’t made a final call yet, but one official said the idea is “on the very hot list” of options. Reeves backs off pensions, leans on tax freeze Extending the freeze would bring in about £7 billion per year. Reeves sees it as one of the only ways to raise serious money without breaking Labour’s campaign pledge. That pledge ruled out increasing income tax rates, employee National Insurance, or VAT. But locking tax bands in place isn’t technically a rate hike. So it’s still on the table. Reeves reportedly floated the idea last year, but then pulled back, saying it would “hurt working people.” Now her choices are tighter. Higher borrowing costs have wrecked her fiscal buffer. Her main rule is not to borrow for day-to-day spending. That rule is already under threat. Economists think Reeves will need to find at least £20 billion in tax increases. If things get worse, the hole could go up to £50 billion. Angela Rayner, who serves as Deputy Prime Minister, has already…

Next-Gen GameFi Token Tapzi Reaches Crypto Whales This Week

Next-Gen GameFi Token Tapzi Reaches Crypto Whales This Week

The post Next-Gen GameFi Token Tapzi Reaches Crypto Whales This Week appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News The broader crypto market is sending mixed but intriguing signals right now. Bitcoin and Ethereum recently pulled back, Bitcoin dipping nearly 8% from its all-time high above $124,000 to hover near $113,000, while Ethereum steadied around $4,100. Analysts describe the Fear & Greed Index as resting in a cautious middle, stuck around neutral levels near 50. This means traders are split: some bracing for deeper pullbacks, others positioning early for the next leg higher. In such an environment, presales are attracting greater attention because they offer outsized potential without relying solely on the daily fluctuations of Bitcoin or Ethereum. Meanwhile, in the low-cost coin arena, Shiba Inu (SHIB) continues to be one of the most recognizable names. Born in the shadow of Dogecoin, SHIB spearheaded the second wave of memefication in crypto, where coins weren’t just assets, but cultural memes tied to community virality. From its record-breaking rallies to its ambitious Shibarium Layer-2 solution, SHIB has given investors a way to feel part of a global movement. However, it also carries risks, including volatility, social media-driven pumps, and an enormous token supply that hinders long-term price growth. Against this backdrop, a new player has stormed into the presale spotlight: Tapzi (TAPZI). Unlike meme tokens, Tapzi is a Web3 gaming platform designed to reward merit, not hype. In less than a week, Tapzi’s presale raised over $100,000, a strong sign of demand in the GameFi sector. The reason? It’s refreshingly simple yet deeply engaging. Players can stake TAPZI tokens to enter skill-based matches of games people already know and love, like chess, tic-tac-toe, and rock-paper-scissors, and earn rewards based on performance. Instead of depending on randomness or pure luck, Tapzi transforms everyday games into competitive, blockchain-powered experiences. The project’s structure is equally impressive. Tapzi already has a playable demo…

[Our AI Business Services] — [Advertise with Us!] The weekend has arrived, team, but not without crazy tech news. From a Chinese company developing humanoid “pregnancy robots” (are surrogates at risk?) to AI’s soaring power demands reshaping global politics and safety rules, it’s been a wild week. And if you’re using a free AI chatbot, you might actually be paying with your data. We’ll explain why. On the brighter side, Anthropic is rolling out safeguards to keep AI safer for everyone.

Taiwan will vote this weekend on restarting its 40-year-old Maanshan nuclear reactor, just months after shutting down its last plant. The referendum comes as soaring electricity demand from AI computing , led by TSMC, which already consumes 12% of Taiwan’s power, collides with fears of a Chinese blockade and reliance on imported fossil fuels (95% of supply). Nuclear once produced over 50% of Taiwan’s electricity, but the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) pushed for a “nuclear-free homeland” after Fukushima and shut the final reactor in May. Now, rolling blackouts, higher power prices, and a lagging renewables rollout (just 13% of supply vs. 20% target) have shifted public opinion: 66% of Taiwanese support nuclear for net-zero goals, up from 58% in 2024. The AI boom is reshaping energy policy worldwide. In the U.S., the Trump administration has set a goal to quadruple nuclear capacity within 25 years; Germany is debating reversing its nuclear exit; and Japan is reopening reactors 14 years after Fukushima. Governments are under pressure to secure stable, low-carbon energy as AI data centers become some of the fastest-growing sources of electricity demand globally.

AI giants race for real-world data through partnerships and freebies OpenAI, Google, and Perplexity are striking global deals to secure real-world data sets that can’t be scraped from the internet — from e-commerce to telecom. OpenAI has partnered with Shopee and Shopify, while Google and Perplexity are offering free access to AI tools in India to capture structured consumer queries and transactional behavior. The payoff is big: Perplexity’s downloads in India jumped from 790k in June to 6.7M in July after a deal with Bharti Airtel. Experts say these partnerships fuel hyper-personalized AI in sectors like fintech and healthcare, but warn of risks around privacy, bias, and data sovereignty, especially in emerging markets. China already showcases the advantage: AI drug discovery firms there leverage data from 600M+ patients in the national health insurance system, enabling multibillion-dollar pharma deals with AstraZeneca, Pfizer, and Sanofi. Meanwhile, countries like Nigeria, India, and Vietnam are demanding local data storage to curb Big Tech’s global dominance.

XRP Price Set to Soar? Analyst Sees Double Before ETF Hits the Market

XRP Price Set to Soar? Analyst Sees Double Before ETF Hits the Market

        Highlights:  XRP price jumped past $3 after Powell’s Jackson Hole remarks boosted crypto market confidence. ETF hopes could double XRP’s value, but analysts warn of a dip post-launch. The immediate resistance level is $3.09, after which there may be a breakout towards $3.35.  The highly anticipated Jackson Hole speech by Fed Chair Jerome Powell was received with profound enthusiasm by investors who poured massive sums into the crypto market. Even though he did not say that the September rate cuts could be made, his remarks were taken as positive towards future rate cuts. Bitcoin soared to above $117k in a few minutes while altcoins recorded double-digit gains. Moreover, the largest altcoin, Ethereum, surpassed its all-time high of 2021 to achieve a new all-time high of $4,880. Ripple’s XRP price also mirrored the broad market sentiment by retracing above the $3 level once again. As of this writing, XRP is exchanging hands at around $3.04, having surged 7% over the past 24 hours. In addition, its market cap and trading volume have climbed to $180 billion and $10 billion, respectively. Source: CoinMarketCap XRP Price Could Double Before ETF Launch Market analyst Zach Rector says the price of XRP may rally significantly in the market ahead of a possible ETF launch. He opined that XRP may appreciate double before any ETFs are approved by U.S. regulators. Building parallels to previous market movements, Rector indicates Bitcoin and Ethereum pre-ETF rallies of 80% and 25%, respectively.  XRP can easily double from here. pic.twitter.com/btU1ouQ1lg — Zach Rector (@ZachRector7) August 21, 2025  He, however, cautions of the probability of a decline following the launch, based on historical patterns. After their ETFs were launched, Bitcoin plummeted 30%, and Ethereum fell 40%. Rector predicts that XRP may go through a similar cycle. He feels enthusiasm for ETF approval would make prices rise, followed by a quick decline. Asset Managers Update XRP ETF Filings After Case Dismissal On August 22, several asset managers amended their XRP ETF applications to the SEC. CoinShares, Franklin Templeton, Grayscale, Bitwise, WisdomTree, Canary, and 21Shares all resubmitted revised S-1s. These developments occurred several hours after a federal judge approved the dismissal of the SEC case against Ripple.  Asset managers Grayscale, Bitwise, Canary, CoinShares, Franklin, 21Shares, and WisdomTree filed amended S-1s for spot XRP ETFs, adjusting structures to allow XRP or cash creations and cash or in-kind redemptions. Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart said the updates were “almost… — Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) August 23, 2025  The amended forms now provide the options of both cash and XRP creation and redemptions. Analysts point to the recent SEC response and note that the move appears to be coordinated among the companies. According to James Seyffart of Bloomberg, the changes were anticipated as yet another strong indicator of progress. President of TFStore, Nate Geraci, said the concentration of the filings was highly notable. They perceive the updates to be a good move amid the October decision that may approve the XRP ETF. Technical Analysis – Will XRP’s Brief Rally Break Above $3.35? Technical indicators on the daily chart display a recovery price movement after the recent pullback. The recent market correction saw XRP’s price form a descending channel, dropping to seek support at the lower Bollinger band at $2.83. However, the bulls took the lead yesterday, elevating the price from this support level to $3.09, which is acting as the immediate resistance mark. Source: TradingView This level acts as the challenging mark for the upside journey as red candlesticks start to form around it. Should the current trend hold and the buying pressure increase, XRP could break above $3.09 and retest the key resistance level at $3.35. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) supports XRP’s upward journey as it steadily climbs from the oversold region. Currently, the indicator is hovering around 49 levels, indicating a neutral market sentiment. With a further journey upwards before reaching the overbought region, XRP’s price could break the resistance at $3.35 soon.    eToro Platform    Best Crypto Exchange   Over 90 top cryptos to trade Regulated by top-tier entities User-friendly trading app 30+ million users    9.9   Visit eToro eToro is a multi-asset investment platform.
