The USDC cash cow The pushback Dorsey joins the fray Advertisement Coinbase executives, including CEO Brian Armstrong and Chief Policy Officer Faryar Shirzad, have strongly pushed back against recent allegations claiming the crypto exchange is actively lobbying against a crucial tax exemption for Bitcoin in order to boost its own stablecoin revenues. The controversy erupted on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, with high-profile industry of the likes of billionaire Jack Dorsey joining the fray. Some Bitcoin supporters have alleged that Coinbase has been quietly telling Washington lawmakers that a de minimis tax exemption for Bitcoin is unnecessary and would be "DOA" (dead on arrival) because "no one is using Bitcoin as money."

Here is what $100 oil means for Bitcoin network

As oil surges past $100 amid escalating Middle East tensions, the question for the Bitcoin network and miners is not whether their power bills will rise, but whether Bitcoin’s price will fall.

According to research from bitcoin mining software and services company Luxor’s Hashrate Index, the direct effect of oil price shocks on mining costs is likely to be limited, but the broader macroeconomic consequences could weigh more heavily on the industry.

However, the impact of oil prices surging isn't zero on the Bitcoin network.

Luxor estimates that about 8 to 10 percent of global bitcoin hashrate operates in electricity markets where power prices are closely linked to crude oil. These operations are primarily concentrated in Gulf states such as the United Arab Emirates and Oman, with smaller contributions from Iran, Kuwait, Qatar and Libya.

“The genuinely oil-exposed countries" are the Gulf states, Luxor wrote in its research note, adding that the UAE and Oman together account for roughly about 6% of the network's computing power or hashrate.

"These grids run primarily on natural gas derived from oil production, with electricity pricing that does track crude more directly than in the US or Russia," the report said.

Meanwhile, Iran is estimated to hold another 0.8%, and other smaller contributors like Kuwait, Qatar, and Libya bring the total crude-sensitive hashrate exposure to roughly 8–10% of the network.

Fitch Ratings Announces How Many Interest Rate Cuts It Expects from the Fed and Its US Economic Forecasts!



The leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin (BTC), is struggling around $70,000 amid the uncertainty and tension created by the US-Iran conflict.

The war between the two countries has driven up oil prices, indirectly increasing inflation concerns. Analysts worry that inflation, which the US Federal Reserve (FED) has long been trying to bring down to its 2 percent target, may come under renewed upward pressure with this increase in energy prices.

While there is talk at this point that the Fed might even raise interest rates in the face of inflation risk, there are differing opinions and expectations regarding the Fed’s interest rate decisions.

While it is even expected that the Fed will not cut interest rates at all in 2026, international credit rating agency Fitch has announced its expectations for the Fed.

In its latest report, Fitch stated that the labor market has cooled and wage growth has slowed, which could lead the Fed to cut interest rates twice in 2026.

In this context, Fitch forecasts that US consumption will slow in 2026. Weakness in the labor market will put pressure on household income. As a result, a cooling labor market and slowing wage growth will prompt the Fed to take action.

Wall Street Giants Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs Revise FED Interest Rate Forecasts! Worst-Case Scenario Revealed!

The war between the US and Iran increased uncertainty and oil prices, which indirectly heightened inflation concerns.

Analysts are concerned that inflation, which the US Federal Reserve (FED) has long been trying to bring down to its 2 percent target, may come under renewed upward pressure as a result of this increase in energy prices.

While there is talk at this point that the Fed might even raise interest rates in the face of inflation risk, there are differing opinions and expectations regarding the Fed's interest rate decisions.

According to Morgan Stanley economists, the Fed may resume interest rate cuts in June.

However, the increase in oil prices caused by the US-Iran war and the accompanying inflation fears may cause interest rate cuts to be postponed until the end of the year.

Morgan Stanley's chief economist, Michael Gapen, and his team stated in a note that despite rising energy costs putting upward pressure on inflation, they maintain their forecast of a 25 basis point rate cut by the Fed in June and September. However, they also noted the possibility that the Fed could postpone the first cut to September or December, and the second cut to 2027.

"If the Fed eases prices sooner than expected by ignoring oil-related price increases, that would be advantageous. However, in the face of strong inflation and low unemployment, rate cuts may be delayed."

These two factors are causing the Fed to hesitate in its interest rate cuts. The timeline for rate cuts may change, and the Fed could postpone rate cuts until the end of

Ark Labs declined to disclose the structure of the round, when it opened and closed, and a post-money valuation.

Established in 2024, the raise brings Ark Labs' total institutional backing to more than $7.7 million, following an earlier pre-seed round supported by Draper Associates, Fulgur Ventures, and Axiom Capital.
The funding announcement also coincides with the launch of stablecoin and other digital asset support on Arkade, the company's flagship infrastructure platform designed to enable programmable transactions settled on Bitcoin.

The fresh capital will help grow Ark Labs' team from 10 to around 25 employees while expanding developer relations, product development, and partner onboarding, CEO Marco Argentieri told The Block. The company also plans to build the tooling required to "bring stablecoin and bitcoin liquidity together at production scale."

Рынки прогнозов получают новые рекомендации для работы в США от своего бывшего противника — Комиссии по торговле товарными фьючерсами (CFTC)

Компании, работающие на рынках прогнозов, такие как Polymarket и Kalshi, получили новый набор рекомендаций для работы в США. В четверг Комиссия по торговле товарными фьючерсами (CFTC) представила первоначальные рекомендации и предлагаемые постоянные правила для того, что агентство назвало «проверенным источником надежной информации для средств массовой информации, спортивных лиг, финансовых учреждений и обычных американцев».

Ранее агентство было юридическим противником рынков прогнозов, предупреждая, что определенные виды ставок противоречат законам о производных финансовых инструментах и ​​что CFTC не может функционировать как глобальная политическая сила, борющаяся с мошенничеством и манипуляциями на политических рынках по всему миру. Но под руководством председателя Майка Селига CFTC отказалась от своей старой юридической борьбы и приняла эти компании. Теперь она выпустила необязывающее консультативное заключение для компаний, работающих на рынках прогнозов и регулируемых CFTC как «обозначенные контрактные рынки», и начала процесс разработки обязательных правил.


 «Это начало процесса разработки новых правил, основанных на рациональном и последовательном толковании Закона о товарных биржах, одновременно заверяя американский народ в том, что CFTC будет осуществлять свою исключительную юрисдикцию в отношении рынков прогнозов», — сказал Селиг о процессе регулирования, который начинается с так называемого «предварительного уведомления о предлагаемом нормотворчестве».

Селиг, который может действовать как единственный авторитет в регулирующем органе, поскольку он является единственным членом комиссии, состоящей из пяти человек, быстро приступил к продвижению новой политики. Он также ведет риторическую кампанию пр

The current entry window into the Ozak Al ecosystem is running on a growth momentum achieved during the OZ presale. Investors are accumulating tokens following its obvious demonstration in the market, and the Al-powered crypto project has now become one of the strongest crypto candidates for high ROIs.

OZ as a Profile

The Al token, OZ, started the presale process from $0.001. Investors bought the token, interest surged, and Ozak Al quickly transitioned to the next planned phases. Come Phase 7, and the offer value of OZ has reached $0.014 for a 14x ROI. Thereby fueling significant gains for early investors. They are now expected to record a higher gain from the current value.

OZ could reach the target price of $1 upon listing. This would be a 1,000x ROI for early $0.001 investors. For those buying the token at $0.014, the ROI translates to 71x - which is still comparatively higher in the time of uncertainty. For reference, a $100 investment could become $100,000 and $7,100 for $0.001 investors and $0.014 investors, applicable in the same order.

What's Strengthening the Ozak Al Profile?

Several technical components of the Ozak Al ecosystem are strengthening its profile for investors. This includes the likes of DePIN and the x402 Protocol, to mention a few.

XRP价格预测：XRP即将爆发式上涨吗？

XRP目前在2小时图上位于1.38美元，被锁定在一个自2月初以来不断收窄的对称三角形内，价格在收敛的趋势线之间徘徊，等待着突破。

第一个需要突破的阻力位是1.50美元，该价位在整个盘整过程中一直扮演着顽固的阻力角色。突破1.50美元后，下一个重要的阻力位是1.61美元。

如果价格能够有效突破这两个阻力位，则有望冲击1.90美元以及图表上标示的2.20美元目标位。

下行方面，1.30美元是该结构内的直接支撑位，该支撑位此前已多次经受考验并守住。但如果跌破该水平，则下行压力将转移到1.12美元。

三角形正在收窄，价格也接近顶点，因此价格即将迎来上涨行情。

 由于价格仍未确定走向，一些交易员开始关注像 Maxi Doge 这样更有潜力的预售项目。

Ark Labs執行長Marco Argentieri告訴The Block，這筆新資金將幫助公司團隊從10人擴充至約25人，同時拓展開發者關係、產品開發和合作夥伴拓展。公司還計劃開發必要的工具，以實現「在生產規模上整合穩定幣和比特幣的流動性」。
