India reviews details of proposed U.S. tariffs on buyers of Russian oil

India is examining the specifics of a U.S. tariff proposal tied to purchases of Russian oil, according to ChainCatcher. Indian Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal said the country is studying the details of the U.S. move. The comment came after the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill authorizing the president to impose punitive tariffs of as much as 100% on India and other countries. The report did not provide additional details on the review process or any timeline for a response. The development places the focus on how India may assess the bill’s scope and its potential application to countries that continue buying Russian oil.

EU Sanctions Target Crypto Firms Facilitating Russian Oil Trades

The European Union's 21st sanctions package targets cryptocurrency operators that help facilitate Russian oil transactions, aiming to close a loophole that lets Moscow use digital assets to bypass financial restrictions on petroleum trade. The move extends digital asset regulation into energy geopolitics, exposing exchanges and over-the-counter trading desks to compliance risk if they have handled deals tied to sanctioned Russian energy. Separately, Russia's July crude output rebounded to more than 9 million barrels per day, up from roughly 8.86 million bpd in June when drone strikes had cut production. (CryptoBriefing)
