๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท Donald Trump stated that the US is not going to protect the Strait of Hormuz instead of other countries: according to him, those who depend on oil from the region should secure it themselves or buy fuel from America.

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ In Russia, a law is being prepared that from July 1, 2026, may legalize investments in cryptocurrency โ€” but only through licensed Russian platforms, brokers, and managers.

All operations will be obliged to be conducted through such intermediaries with compliance to AML norms, and banks will be prohibited from transferring funds to illegal and foreign crypto services without their involvement.

At the same time, investors will retain access to international operations, but with reporting to the Federal Tax Service and restrictions for unqualified participants.

๐Ÿค– Coinbase, Stripe, and Cloudflare have practically begun a fight for "Visa for AI": they are creating a fund at the Linux Foundation to promote x402 โ€” a standard by which AI agents and programs will be able to pay for APIs, data, and computations in crypto without human involvement.

Approximately 20 large companies have already joined the project, including Microsoft, Google, and Amazon Web Services, so ecosystem support may decide which standard will become the foundation of the future "machine economy."

๐Ÿช™ Bitcoin has stopped simply reacting to Fed decisions and is increasingly starting to price in future policy changes in advance.

After the launch of Bitcoin ETFs in 2024, the market is increasingly driven by institutional investors who think 6โ€“12 months ahead, which is why Bitcoin is becoming more an indicator of the future cycle than a reaction to already published news.

According to Binance research, it was after the arrival of ETFs and large funds that the correlation changed: previously Bitcoin followed central bank policy easing, but now it often moves even before the Fed announces anything.
