BREAKING: The SEC has approved Nasdaq’s rule change allowing tokenized securities trading.
Investors can now decide per trade whether to settle Nasdaq-listed securities in traditional form or via tokenized settlement through a DTC-led blockchain pilot.
With the Depository Trust Company (DTC) processing around $2.5 quadrillion in securities transactions each year, even a small shift toward blockchain-based settlement represents a huge move.
U.S. President Donald Trump warned Iran that military consequences would occur ‘at a level never seen before’ if Tehran does not immediately remove the naval mines allegedly placed in the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s most important energy shipping route.
Trump made the statement on his social media platform Truth Social amid rising military tensions between the United States and Iran.
He emphasized that any attempt by Iran to disrupt the global flow of oil through the strait would trigger a major military response from Washington.

TLDR:
$BTC - Steady (still within the consolidation range)
$ETH - Recovering but still bullish.
$SOL - Holding $180 support.
Altcoins: Bloodbath.
Stick with the majors. They’re weathering the storm.
$ETH - Took a massive hit, down 37% in 72 hours. Key levels: 2,300(must hold on weekly level) and 2,500 (critical monthly level). Still trending upward on the higher time frames, and the recent bounce from the lows is a positive sign.
Altcoins got crushed. Many down 80-95%. This is why focusing on majors (BTC, ETH, SOL) is key. They’ve got stronger structures and are better positioned to handle volatility.
$BTC - Chill as always. Still in its consolidation range below 100K, bouncing off 100K, bouncing off 92K. It’s the least affected by the chaos, showing why it’s the king.
Last weekend was brutal for crypto. It was the biggest liquidation event ever. Nearly 1 million traders liquidated in 48 hours. However, the market’s overall structure is still holding, and the outlook on the higher time frame remains bullish.
