⚠️ Super Micro Computer (SMCI) fell over 𝟵% after Taiwan authorities raided its office as part of an expanded 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝘀𝗺𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 — adding to the company's prior accounting scandal and Deloitte resignation that nearly triggered a delisting in 2024.
𝗛𝘂𝗽𝘇𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲: SMCI is a major AI infrastructure player whose servers power data centers and mining operations. A chip smuggling probe raises two risks: supply chain disruption for AI compute, which supports the GPU scarcity narrative benefiting crypto miners with existing hardware; and broader risk-off spillover from AI-adjacent tech names that have led the market. The -9% move is large enough to trigger margin calls in tech-heavy portfolios.
For BTC, watch whether this stays isolated to SMCI or spreads to broader semiconductor weakness — crypto's correlation to tech means any AI/semis selloff bleeds into risk sentiment.

🚨 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗦 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲𝗱 𝗜𝗿𝗮𝗻 𝗮 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗶𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲, allowing production, delivery, and sale of Iranian-origin oil and petrochemical products through August 21st — the first official return of Iranian crude to global markets since 2018.
𝗛𝘂𝗽𝘇𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲: Iranian oil re-entering global markets adds supply at a time when OPEC+ production cuts have been supporting prices. The immediate impact is likely bearish for oil, which could ease inflation pressures and reduce energy costs globally. For crypto traders, lower energy costs are generally positive for mining profitability and could reduce inflation-driven rate hike expectations. The time-limited nature (expires Aug 21) means this is a conditional opening — watch for extensions or reversals as a geopolitical sentiment indicator.

Was excited to meetup with @DonaldJTrumpJr from the @worldlibertyfi team at the @OndoFinance summit.
It was great to hear that his personal experience with the current financial system was the driving force for creating WLFI, and that he is trying to build something he himself would want to use because it is truly tamper-proof/fair, transparent and highly secure/reliable.
Excited to be working with the @worldlibertyfi team on creating this DeFi powered future and applying the Chainlink Standard to help make the financial system what it should be.
Larry Fink, @BlackRock's CEO, just said live on @CNBC that, as a huge believer in blockchain, he wants "the SEC to rapidly approve the tokenization of bonds and stocks."
Ondo is proud to be at the forefront of a seismic shift in the global economy.
"This is one thing that will change Bloomberg even, I believe we are going to be in the cutting edge of tokenizing bonds and stocks," @BlackRock's Larry Fink discusses democratizing finance by tokenizing currencies. #BloombergHouse#WEF25
