White House Press Secretary Leavitt has stated that the United States still has a range of measures available to continue punishing Iran and weakening its economy. Speaking publicly, Leavitt emphasized that more actions are on the table, indicating a continued and possibly escalated approach to exert economic pressure on Iran.
Leavitt’s comments come amid ongoing tensions and diplomatic considerations, suggesting that the US government is prepared to implement additional sanctions or restrictions if deemed necessary. She underscored that the existing measures have already had an impact but affirmed that the administration remains open to further options to influence Iran's economic and political stance.
This statement aligns with broader US policy efforts aimed at countering Iran's regional activities and advancing its strategic interests. The administration’s willingness to deploy additional measures signals a sustained commitment to applying pressure through economic means, potentially affecting Iran’s financial sector and international trade relations.

$2.3B of crypto liquidated in 4 hours
In the last 24 hours, U.S. Treasury officials revealed that Ivan Obukhov processed over $100 million in crypto transactions for the IRGC-QF oil sales since 2023, a figure that dwarfs the $30 million in sanctions violations uncovered in the previous year. This sudden escalation signals a new era of enforcement that now covers not just traditional financial channels but also digital assets, precious metals, maritime logistics and high‑tech exports.
Why this matters now: The global crypto market is still highly exposed to state‑backed sanctions. With the U.S. tightening its net, the risk of asset seizure or blacklisting for entities tied to Iran’s regime has surged. On‑chain data shows that Iranian wallets have already been flagged for 1.8 % of all cross‑border transfers in the last month, and the average transaction size has jumped 27 % as traders scramble to move funds before potential freezes. This environment is reshaping liquidity flows, pushing traders toward more opaque jurisdictions and increasing volatility across major tokens.
Smart money is already reacting. Hedge funds that hold $BTC and $ETH are reallocating exposure to assets with lower geopolitical risk, while institutional players are tightening compliance protocols. #CryptoSanctions #USPolicy #Geopolitics
Forward signal: If the U.S. expands its reach to include gold and shipping, we expect a 15‑20 % pullback in $BTC as traders exit positions ahead of potential asset seizures. Watch for a break below the $30,000 support level within the next 48 hours. #BTC

The US Just Banned Its Own Digital Dollar For Four Years — Without a Single Presidential Signature
A major piece of U.S. financial legislation just became law without the president signing it — and buried inside is a four-year ban on a government digital currency.
On July 11, 2026, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act took effect automatically under the U.S. Constitution, after President Trump neither signed nor vetoed it within the required window. While the bill's primary purpose is housing affordability, one provision has major implications for the entire digital asset industry.
◆ The law bars the Federal Reserve from issuing, creating, or circulating a central bank digital currency (CBDC) through December 31, 2030
◆ The ban covers both direct issuance and any action taken through an intermediary
◆ The bill passed the Senate 85-5 and the House 358-32 — veto-proof margins in both chambers
◆ Trump publicly refused to sign the bill in protest over a separate, unrelated voting-rights measure, but Congress being in session meant the bill became law automatically after 10 days
◆ There has never been an active federal project to build a U.S. CBDC — the Federal Reserve only released a research paper on the topic back in 2022
◆ New Fed Chair Kevin Warsh has publicly called a CBDC a "bad policy choice" during his 2026 confirmation process
◆ Trump had already blocked the concept once before via a January 2025 executive order — but that could be undone by a future administration, while this new statute cannot
◆ The ban does not affect privately issued stablecoins like USDC or USDT — it only restricts the central bank itself
The crypto industry has long opposed the idea of a government-issued digital dollar, arguing it could compete directly with the private stablecoin market and raise data-privacy concerns. This new law formalizes that opposition into permanent federal statute rather than a policy that shifts with each administration.
It also puts the United States on a notably different path from other major economies. China continues expanding its digital yuan across retail and public-sector use cases, while the European Central Bank is in advanced preparation for a formal digital euro decision.
Meanwhile, the broader CLARITY Act — the crypto market structure legislation the industry has been waiting on — remains stuck without the same bipartisan momentum that carried this housing bill into law.
Do you think blocking a government digital dollar strengthens the position of private stablecoins, or does it leave the U.S. behind in the global digital currency race?
