The post ‘South Park’ Mocks Trump Again—ChatGPT And Tech CEOs Get Skewered Too appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline “South Park” continued to mock President Donald Trump—and his federal takeover of Washington D.C.—in the third episode of its new season on Wednesday night, while also taking aim at ChatGPT, Silicon Valley executives and tech culture, just weeks after the show depicted the president getting in bed with Satan and ICE carrying out raids at a Dora the Explorer concert. The latest episode of South Park once again mocked President Donald Trump and his administration. Getty Images for Paramount+ Key Facts Wednesday’s episode, titled “Sickofancy,” primarily focuses on the character Randy Marsh, who is shown transforming into a tech startup leader after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids his marijuana farm and takes all his workers into custody. After the raid on his “Tegridy” marijuana farm, Marsh is shown taking advice from ChatGPT and “microdosing” ketamine—as he rebrands his company to Techridy, saying: “We are no longer a marijuana farm, we are now an AI-powered marijuana platform for global solutions.” Marsh’s character appears to be a parody of a generic tech company leader who is obsessed with AI and attempts to curry favor with Trump by offering him a gift. The national capital is depicted as overrun by military forces and armed federal agents, while world leaders, state officials and tech executives—like Apple CEO Tim Cook and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg—line up outside the Oval Office. The tech CEOs and a representative for the Qatari government are shown as trying to curry favor with Trump by offering him lavish gifts and trying to flatter him relentlessly. What Else Did Randy Marsh Do In The Episode? Like the other tech CEOs, Marsh is shown trying to appease Trump so the president would reclassify marijuana at a federal level—helping him expand sales to states where its consumption is banned. Marsh says…

The post Toyota Blockchain Lab taps Avalanche for a global mobility network prototype appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Toyota Blockchain Lab will use Avalanche’s multi-L1 blockchain to launch a global mobility network MON prototype. Summary Toyota’s MON aims to end fragmentation in mobility, securely connecting automakers, regulators, insurers, service providers, enabling payments and other transactions. Avalanche was chosen for sub-second finality, scalability, and multi-L1 support, letting Toyota run tailored, interoperable blockchains. Toyota Blockchain Lab has unveiled details of its Mobility Orchestration Network (MON) prototype that leverages Avalanche (AVAX) in a recently released technical whitepaper, developed with technical advisory support from Ava Labs. MON is designed to tackle a key challenge in mobility: fragmented ecosystems where stakeholders operate in silos. The vision for MON is to act as a trust-based infrastructure layer that securely connects diverse participants in global transportation. By using blockchain to verify and coordinate transactions, MON would enable transparent handling of key mobility functions such as vehicle financing, ownership transfers, insurance claims, ride-sharing contracts, EV charging payments, and even carbon credit tracking. Why Toyota Blockchain Lab chose Avalanche Toyota chose Avalanche as the foundation for its prototype because of its sub-second transaction finality, scalability, and interoperability. Unlike other EVM-compatible blockchains that run on a single layer-1 network, Avalanche allows the creation of multiple custom L1s that are interoperable yet independent. This architecture allows enterprises like Toyota to launch dedicated blockchains tailored to specific regulatory or business requirements, while still benefiting from the broader Avalanche ecosystem. As the Ava Labs team commented on the development, “Every other chain is one lane. Avalanche is the highway.” Avalanche already powers tokenized money market funds, private credit, equities, and $6B+ in on-chain loans. Now mobility finance is next. 🔺 Every other chain is one lane. Avalanche is the highway. — Avalanche🔺 (@avax) August 19, 2025 Avalanche already powers tokenized money market funds, private credit, equities, and more than $6 billion…

The post Indian Rupee ticks down despite strong flash India’s PMI data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Indian Rupee falls marginally to near 87.20 against the US Dollar. India’s flash HSBC PMI expanded at a faster pace in August. FIIs continue to pare stakes from Indian stock markets. The Indian Rupee (INR) ticks down to near 87.20 against the US Dollar (USD) during the European session on Thursday. The USD/INR pair edges higher even as preliminary India’s private sector Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) data for August has come in stronger. The Composite PMI rises to near 65.2 from 61.1 in July as activities in both manufacturing and the services sectors expanded at a faster pace. “The Services flash PMI touched an all-time high of 65.6, led by a sharp pick up in new business orders, both export and domestic. The Manufacturing flash PMI rose further, inching closer to the 60-mark, led by a smart rise in new domestic orders. Growth of new export orders, however, remained unchanged at July’s levels. Margins improved as the rise in output prices was much faster than that for input costs,” Pranjul Bhandari, Chief India Economist at HSBC, said. On a broader note, the Indian Rupee trades firmly as the announcement of Goods and Services Tax (GST) reforms by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the Independence Day has increased investors’ confidence that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will be reluctant to adopt an aggressive monetary easing approach. On August 15, India’s PM Modi announced that the government will unfold GST 2.O in which taxes on goods will be reduced to boost consumption. The impact is clearly visible on Indian stock markets, which have risen significantly since the announcement. Nifty 50 is up almost 1.5% to near 25,070. The 50-stock basket hit a fresh four-week high around 25,150. Contrary to Nifty50’s outperformance, overseas investors have been paring stakes from Indian…

The post Starbucks expands test of coconut water beverages appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Starbucks’ Coco Matcha and Coco Cold Brew drinks. Courtesy: Starbucks Starbucks will expand its test of coconut water beverages to hundreds of more stores, as it leans further into health and wellness. Starting Thursday, the coffee giant will test its Coco Matcha and Coco Cold Brew drinks in more than 400 stores across major cities including New York, Los Angeles and the greater Chicago area. The drinks layer matcha foam or cold brew foam over coconut water. Starbucks first tested the coconut beverages in New York City as a part of its “Starting Five” innovation program, in which it tests out new ideas in five coffeehouses and seeks feedback from its baristas and customers before pushing those ideas into additional stores. Starbucks did not share plans for further expansion beyond the regional test this month. “Health and wellness at Starbucks isn’t a trend — it’s a long-standing commitment.  Expanding the test of our Coco Matcha and Coco Cold Brew beverages is the next step to accelerate our health and wellness beverage innovation plan,” Dana Pellicano, senior vice president of Starbucks global product experience, said in a statement to CNBC. “We are incorporating real-time feedback with a focus on transparency, functionality, and evolving consumer needs.” Cold foam has become one of the chain’s most popular modifiers, as it grew 23% year over year, CEO Brian Niccol told analysts on its most recent earnings call. Starbucks will launch protein cold foam late in the fourth quarter, part of its push to kick-start sales after a stretch of financial results that has disappointed Wall Street. “Protein cold foam with no added sugar is an easy way to add 15 grams of protein to virtually any cold beverage. And customers can also add the flavor of their choice,” Niccol told analysts. The expanded Starbucks…
