🚨 Japan’s $7T Banking Giants Enter the Stablecoin Era
Japan’s largest banks Mitsubishi UFJ, Sumitomo Mitsui, and Mizuho managing over $7 trillion in assets, are preparing to jointly issue stablecoins by 2027.

🚨 $2,000,000,000,000 has been wiped out from the markets in the last 2 hours.
We all know what this means.
Investors are watching every move: • The growing speculation around a SpaceX IPO 👀 • Japan's yen and interest-rate developments 🇯🇵 • Global liquidity tightening 📉
ETH continues to hold strong after the recent bounce, and the short-term structure remains bullish. Price is still respecting the upward range, with momentum staying intact.
We already entered this setup earlier on spot, and it is currently running in profit.
Current outlook: ETH is now approaching the next liquidity zone around 1700–1722, where price action could either consolidate or continue expanding depending on BTC strength.
Trade management: - After TP1 → move SL to breakeven or slightly above the 1720 support area - Trail stops as price pushes higher and secure profits progressively - Avoid giving back gains during choppy action near resistance zones
