BlackRock Moves Deeper Into Tokenization as RWA Market Crosses $30B
BlackRock—managing roughly $14 trillion in assets—has filed with the SEC for two new tokenized fund initiatives, including tokenized Treasury reserve funds and the addition of blockchain-based share classes. The filings underline the rapid rise of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), a sector now valued above $30 billion—up nearly 10x over the past two years—signaling growing institutional adoption of blockchain-backed finance. #BlackRockPlansMoneyMarketFundsforStablecoinUsers #CathieWoodandCZDiscussAIandStablecoins #Binance

The crypto market recorded around $202 million in liquidations over the last 24 hours, including roughly $49.07 million from long positions.

Market reports cited by the WSJ suggest a major U.S.–Iran breakthrough: after Pakistan-based talks, the U.S. offered a 20-year enrichment suspension plus sanctions relief, and Iran reportedly agreed to halt enrichment and begin reopening the Strait of Hormuz, with the U.S. set to end its naval blockade. A wider nuclear agreement would be negotiated in a separate process. #BinanceLaunchesGoldvs.BTCTradingCompetition #IranDealHormuzOpen #LayerZeroCEOAdmitsProtocolFailures
Oil prices slid on Tuesday after President Donald Trump said the Project Freedom initiative would be paused. Brent crude fell 1.81% to $107.88 a barrel, and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) dropped 1.72% to $100.51. The decline spread across energy markets as well, with natural gas down 0.67% to $2.77, gasoline off 0.93% to $3.59, and heating oil lower by 1.28% to $3.98, BeInCrypto reported. Trump said the decision followed progress toward an Iran deal and requests from Pakistan and other countries. The U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports, however, remains in place. #TrumpPauses'ProjectFreedom' #OilPrice #DonaldTrump

Arthur Hayes Predicts Steep Losses Across Altcoins
Speaking at Conference 2026, Arthur Hayes warned that as many as 99% of altcoins could eventually fall to zero. He compared this shakeout to the constant turnover seen in the S&P 500, where most constituents are replaced over time. Hayes stressed that even if many projects fail, it wouldn’t mean crypto is finished—rather, it would reflect a normal cycle of consolidation, with only a small number of strong networks surviving and capturing most of the long-term value. #USAndIranTradeShotInTheStraitOfHormuz
