"India's Naval Power Rises Amid Growing Competition with China"

India is expanding its naval power and presence in international waters, conducting anti-piracy patrols and deploying ships to protect key trading routes. This move signals India's growing maritime ambitions and desire to assume a wider responsibility in maritime security, particularly in response to regional rival China's increasing presence in the Indian Ocean. The Indian navy's proactive contributions to international maritime stability are seen as a message to China, showcasing India's capability and responsibility as a resident naval power. The growing competition with China is driving India to acquire more advanced ships, submarines, and aircraft, and invest more in technology and infrastructure, as it seeks to position itself as a global player and counter China's assertiveness in the region.

SEC Lawsuits Threaten Binance's Global Expansion and Market Share.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed a lawsuit against Binance, its US platform, and CEO Changpeng Zhao for allegedly violating securities laws and offering unregistered securities. The SEC has accused the crypto exchange of offering unregistered securities in the form of its now-paused Binance USD (BUSD) stablecoin and its native token BNB (BNB). The lawsuit also alleged that the funds from the Binance global platform and Binance.US were co-mingled on multiple occasions. Binance has refuted the accusations made by the SEC in the lawsuit in a blog post and claimed that the onus falls on the SEC for not offering any clear regulatory guidelines for crypto platforms in the United States. Binance's legal trouble in the US may have put a dent in its global ambitions.
