Iran and Israel continued to fire missiles at each other, despite a ceasefire agreement that President Trump wishes to maintain.
The official memecoin of U.S. President Donald Trump rose 9%, reaching a market capitalization of $1.8 billion on Tuesday (24), while he announced a ceasefire between Iran and Israel in the early hours of Tuesday morning. But this did not happen without complications.
The chief of the Israeli Army Staff, Eyal Zamir, stated that Iran immediately broke the ceasefire, according to The New York Times. Israel insisted that it would respond with force, which it did — all while Trump was asking the nation not to break the ceasefire.

Adam Schiff has become the latest Democrat to introduce a bill to prohibit the president from profiting from cryptocurrencies.
On Monday (23), U.S. Senator Adam Schiff became the latest Democrat to introduce a bill to prohibit President Donald Trump and his family from profiting from cryptocurrencies while in office — but just last week, Schiff helped pass legislation that would allow exactly that for the Trumps.
The COIN Act (Curbing Officials’ Income and Nondisclosure Act), introduced by Schiff in the Senate, would explicitly prohibit the president, vice president, and their immediate family members from issuing, sponsoring, or endorsing any cryptocurrency, memecoin, NFT, or stablecoin while in office. It would also require these individuals to report the sale of any digital asset valued at over $1,000.

Analysts said that the strong on-chain growth of Sei in previous months could help sustain its recent price gains.
The altcoin Sei (SEI) was the best-performing cryptocurrency among the top 100 on Tuesday (24), rising 46.5% to $0.2855 in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinGecko. The impressive performance reinforces the momentum from the beginning of the week; SEI has risen more than 72% in the last seven days.
SEI is the native token of the Sei Network, a layer-1 blockchain based on Cosmos, launched in August 2023, specifically designed to meet the needs of decentralized exchanges (DEXs).

Based on the analysis, the exchange developed two solutions to help investors make better decisions
Memecoins, initially created under the inspiration of memes and trends, or to strengthen communities, have grown and gained importance in the cryptocurrency industry. Dogecoin — supported by Elon Musk — Shiba Inu, Pepe, and Official Trump, launched by the US president, lead the memecoin market in market capitalization. Many investors are attracted by the playful way they present themselves or by the sense of community they create. But some may end up neglecting to observe the real value of the assets and whether there is a scam behind the joke.

Bitcoin's original promise was rebellion: digital gold, a hedge against inflation, an exit from the fiat system. But if the latest Binance Research report is any indication, it may be playing a different role today: not fighting the dollar, but supporting it.
In short
Bitcoin's correlation with the US dollar has turned positive, reaching its highest level in years at 0.25, suggesting that BTC now moves with the dollar, not against it.
Institutional flows into Bitcoin ETFs and the increase in stablecoins (now above US$ 250 billion) are linking crypto markets even more to liquidity in USD.

CoinMarketCap says virus was in a “doodle image” on its homepage and “contained a link that triggered malicious code”
A hacker attack on the CoinMarketCap price indexer affected 76 cryptocurrency wallets and generated a loss of US$21,000 (R$115,000) for investors, which will be fully reimbursed by the company.
The criminals managed to apply a virus to an image on the main page and infect wallets that connected to the site's services.
The first to notice the virus was the MetaMask team, which on Friday (20th) released a public statement asking its users not to connect their wallets to the site. Immediately afterwards, CoinMarketCap confirmed that visitors should not link their addresses to the site's services, which were compromised.

A development in Barra da Tijuca accepts stablecoins with Transfero technology; the trend could transform the real estate market.
Cryptocurrencies are already accepted as a form of payment for residential properties in Rio, with the potential to expand to other regions and segments.
Stablecoins pegged to the dollar and the real facilitate international transactions and broaden access to the national market.

Seasonal pressure, post-halving effect, and machine shutdowns lead the hashrate to drop, favoring miners with lower costs.
Bitcoin's mining difficulty, which determines the computational power required to mine blocks, could see the largest drop in the last four years after a reduction of about 30% in two weeks.
After the recent decline, the hashrate is now just below 700 EH/s, according to data from Glassnode. The drop in Bitcoin's hashrate triggers a projected difficulty adjustment of 9%, providing miners with temporary relief amid seasonal and post-halving pressure, CoinDesk commented.

Investors are hopeful for a definitive resolution in the Middle East conflict.
U.S. President Donald Trump brought relief to the international community by announcing on Monday night (23) that Israel and Iran agreed to a ceasefire. Both governments expressed support for the truce, but new attacks have been reported from both sides, which puts the ceasefire in jeopardy that could end the 12-day war.
Global markets, however, are hopeful for a definitive resolution in the Middle East conflict, which has escalated in severity with U.S. attacks on Iran over the weekend.

The novelty is an American president deluded by the fantasy that a lack of strategy is, in itself, a strategy.
Just as he entered the war, now Donald Trump declares peace. Between Iran and Israel. A dangerous illusion.
Just as it is illusory to believe that a war can be resolved with airstrikes — surgical or not. The war between Israel and Iran lasted decades before becoming a direct confrontation. Between Iran and the United States, too.
The current phase of the conflict arises from deep rearrangements in the Middle East — and in the international order.

Following the U.S. bombings in Iran over the weekend, cryptocurrency traders boosted some war-related memecoins.
Cryptocurrency traders have been betting on war-themed memecoins while the United States bombed Iran over the weekend and tensions in the Middle East seem to be reaching a boiling point.
The biggest winner among memecoins — if it can be called that — was BunkerCoin, a six-month-old token from Pump.fun that surged 1,964% from Saturday to Sunday, reaching a market capitalization of $5.14 million. Since then, it has dropped 78%, arriving at $1.13 million.

The company bought 245 BTC as tensions rose in the Middle East.
Strategy, previously known as MicroStrategy, acquired 245 Bitcoins worth approximately $24.8 million at current prices, its second smallest Bitcoin purchase this year, according to a company disclosure made on Monday (23).
The Virginia-based software company purchased the tokens at an average price of $105,856 per Bitcoin between June 16 and 22. The purchase raises its total holdings to 592,345 tokens, valued at around $60 billion based on the current BTC price listed on the data provider CoinGecko.

With this new acquisition, Méliuz now has a total of 595.67 BTC, acquired at an average price of $102,702.84 per Bitcoin.
Méliuz announced this Monday (23) that it has purchased an additional 275.43 Bitcoins, having spent $28.61 million (R$157.7 million) on the operation. The average price was $103,864.38 per Bitcoin.
With this new acquisition, the company now owns a total of 595.67 BTC, acquired at an average price of $102,702.84 per Bitcoin.
Méliuz positions itself as the first Bitcoin Treasury Company in Brazil and has also become the largest holder of Bitcoin in Latin America and the 36th largest holder of the asset in the world among listed companies.

After an ironic comment from a Bitcoin critic, the oil memecoin was created and is now surging with the escalation of the war in the Middle East.
The war between Israel and Iran could result in a violent increase in oil prices. This is because one way for the Muslim country to retaliate is to close the Strait of Hormuz, through which one-fifth of the world's oil production passes. And this is somehow linked to the memecoin market.
According to data from the DEXTools platform, a memecoin called Digital Oil (OIL) rose 400% in value against the dollar between Sunday (22) and this Monday (23). The token was created on the Solana blockchain and is traded on the decentralized exchange Raydium.

After the U.S. attack, Iran threatens to close the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% to 30% of all oil traded in the world passes. The barrel rose by 5.7%, but lost steam this morning.
The global economy begins the week under the impact of the U.S. attack on Iranian nuclear facilities on Saturday. The bombing raised concerns about international oil prices, which had already seen a significant increase this month, in an international economic scenario that has been fragile since Donald Trump's tariff measures.

Texas has become the third U.S. state to approve a public Bitcoin reserve.

The reserve increases the state's financial resilience, serving as a 'protection against inflation and economic volatility,' with its controller authorized to buy, sell, hold, or manage any investments in the reserve, as established by the bill.
