Global financial markets surged on Tuesday – even as the world teetered on the brink of another military escalation. Israel launched a new military strike on Tehran after a rocket attack killed three civilians in Be'er Sheva, just hours after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between the two sides.

💥 Rocket Attack and Promise of Strong Retaliation
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz accused Iran of breaking the ceasefire and ordered "high-intensity operations" targeting Iranian military infrastructure. Iran denied responsibility. While Iranian agency ISNA claimed no rockets were fired after the truce, the aftermath in Be'er Sheva told a different story – emergency responders confirmed three civilian deaths.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu backed the military response, reiterating that the goal of Israel’s airstrikes was the “elimination of Iran’s nuclear and missile capabilities.” He also thanked the United States for its defense support.

📈 Stocks and Crypto Rise, Oil Falls
While tensions flare in the Middle East, global stock markets are booming. European equities, especially in the travel and leisure sector, surged – EasyJet +6.5%, Carnival +5.9%, InterContinental Hotels +3.3%. The rally extended to Asia – South Korea's Kospi climbed 2.71%, Japan’s Nikkei gained 1.17%.
U.S. indices joined the rally. The Dow Jones rose by 374 points, the S&P 500 closed up 0.96%, and the Nasdaq jumped nearly 1%. Investors appear to be focusing more on the declared ceasefire than the renewed military activity.

💸 Currencies and Crypto on the Move
In currency markets, commodity-importing countries' currencies strengthened. The euro and Japanese yen gained due to falling oil prices. The Australian dollar rose 0.7%, and the Israeli shekel surged 1.5%, despite the direct attack.
Bitcoin climbed 2% to $105,832, while Ethereum jumped 3.2% – the crypto market responded positively, undeterred by the geopolitical turmoil.

🛢️ Oil in the Red
Oil moved in the opposite direction. U.S. crude (WTI) dropped 2.35% to $66.90 per barrel, while Brent fell 2.25% to $69.87 – the lowest levels since Israel's initial strike on June 13. The market appears to believe the conflict won't significantly disrupt supply.

Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang has officially begun a large-scale selloff of his company shares. Under a pre-approved 10b5-1 trading plan established in March 2025, Huang could gradually sell up to 6 million shares by the end of the year – a total worth approximately $865 million.
🔹 Huang has already sold 100,000 shares, netting $14.4 million in two batches.

🔹 He also filed to sell an additional 50,000 shares in the coming days.

🔹 Despite the big numbers, these sales represent less than 1% of his total holdings, which amount to nearly 900 million shares of Nvidia stock.

10b5-1 Trading Plan: Transparent and Legal
The 10b5-1 plan allows executives to sell shares at predetermined times, even if they possess confidential or market-sensitive information. This structure prevents accusations of insider trading and shows investors that the transactions are pre-planned and not reactive to market events.
Nvidia publicly disclosed the plan, ensuring clarity and helping investors understand that Huang's sales are part of a long-term financial strategy.

Board Member Mark Stevens Also Sells – Without a Pre-Set Plan
Nvidia board member and billionaire investor Mark Stevens has also joined the insider selling wave. In June, Stevens sold over 600,000 shares, earning around $88 million – but unlike Huang, he did not use a pre-arranged 10b5-1 plan.
🔹 Stevens has more flexibility but faces greater scrutiny, as ad hoc trading may raise concerns over insider knowledge.

🔹 He has previously filed to sell up to 4 million shares, potentially worth $550 million depending on market value.

🔹 So far, he's already sold over 2 million shares as part of a broader portfolio rebalancing.
These types of real-time, discretionary trades are completely legal and fairly common among board members and major investors. However, they lack the built-in safeguards of formal trading plans and may appear more opportunistic.

What Does This Mean for Nvidia?
While executive stock sales can sometimes rattle investors, in this case, they appear to be strategic and expected.
Both Huang and Stevens still hold the vast majority of their wealth in Nvidia shares. The company continues to rank among the most valuable in the world, fueled by its leadership in AI chip innovation and surging demand across industries.

📈 Circle is experiencing a phenomenal rise on Wall Street. Since its debut, the company’s stock has surged by over 900% in just three weeks. On Monday alone, shares skyrocketed to $300, despite major investor Cathie Wood selling a portion of her holdings.

Ark Invest Sells, Circle Keeps Climbing
Even after Ark Invest, led by Cathie Wood, sold more than 415,000 CRCL shares across three ETFs — worth over $110 million — the momentum did not slow down. Circle’s stock gained 20% intraday, eventually closing at $260.54, up 9.62% on the day. Its market capitalization has now hit $54 billion, surpassing even its own stablecoin, USDC.
The recent ceasefire announcement between Iran and Israel also helped boost investor confidence, pushing the broader market up by about 1%.

Circle IPO Sparks Institutional FOMO
Circle’s blockbuster IPO is now turning heads across traditional finance. According to Hunter Horsley, CEO of Bitwise Invest:
“Circle’s IPO is changing how mainstream investors view the crypto industry. 2025 is the start of crypto’s mainstream era.”
Other major crypto companies — such as OKX and Gemini — are reportedly preparing to follow Circle’s path with IPOs later this year.

VanEck Goes Big on CRCL
Asset manager VanEck has significantly increased its holdings in Circle. CEO Matthew Sigel revealed that VanEck now owns a larger stake than Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire.
On X, Sigel wrote:
“$CRCL is now our largest position at 13% of the $MVDAPP index, with additional positions in our active strategies. We now hold more shares than CEO Jeremy Allaire.”

Cathie Wood Cashes In, Still Holds Big
This is not Ark Invest’s first sell-off. Earlier last week, the firm offloaded a major chunk of its CRCL holdings. Nevertheless, Ark still holds 3.8 million shares, remaining one of the biggest institutional backers.
Ark originally invested $376 million in CRCL during its IPO week when shares traded under $100. With current prices, that investment has now tripled in value.
