📰 News Highlights:

Senators Target Trump Crypto [Source][Source][Source][Source]

Senator Adam Schiff and nine other Democrats have introduced the COIN Act, aimed at preventing public officials, including the U.S. president and their families, from financially benefiting from digital assets like memecoins, NFTs, and stablecoins.

This bill follows Donald Trump’s reported $57.4 million income from World Liberty Financial (WLF), a crypto platform partially owned by his family.

Schiff claims Trump’s involvement in crypto raises serious ethical and legal concerns.

The bill proposes a ban on issuing or endorsing digital assets for up to two years after leaving office.

Bitcoin Defies War Fears [Source][Source][Source]

Despite escalating tensions in the Middle East, Bitcoin and U.S. stock markets showed resilience, suggesting that investors don’t expect a prolonged conflict.

BTC rose to around $102,000, defying concerns over a wider war involving Iran and the U.S.

The market response contrasts with past behavior, where geopolitical turmoil often boosts safe-haven assets like gold.

This time, oil and gas prices fell, and gold remained flat, signaling investor confidence in a short-lived conflict.

💡 Feature of the Day: 

Whales Bet on Ether [Source][Source][Source]

Ethereum whales are placing massive leveraged bets despite ongoing geopolitical tensions and market uncertainty.

One investor opened a $101 million long position at 25x leverage, risking liquidation if ETH drops below $2,196.

Another whale withdrew $40 million in ETH from Binance, signaling confidence in a price rebound.

This activity came as ETH dipped to $2,113 following U.S. strikes on Iran. While many traders remain cautious, some are using the drop as a buying opportunity.

Market sentiment, however, remains mixed.
