The Trump administration submitted a $1.5 trillion defense spending request to Congress on April 3 - the largest military budget proposal in U.S. history pairing record military outlays with cuts to domestic programs in a fiscal combination that signals sustained inflation pressure and a narrower path to Fed rate cuts. Summary The Trump administration submitted a $1.5 trillion FY2027 defense budget proposal to Congress on April 3, roughly a 42% increase over current Pentagon spending levels. The proposal pairs the record defense allocation with $73 billion in cuts to domestic programs including housing, health research, and education. The fiscal combination - wartime spending surge alongside domestic contraction - carries implications for inflation, Federal Reserve policy, and risk assets including crypto.

As geopolitical tensions between the United States and Iran intensify, Tehran is ramping up its military readiness in anticipation of a potential ground operation on its soil. According to reports from the Wall Street Journal, Iranian forces are actively reinforcing defenses around critical energy assets, most notably Kharg Island, the country's primary oil export hub, while signaling that any conflict could rapidly spread across the Gulf region.The heightened preparations follow U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to deploy thousands of Marines and Airborne troops to the Middle East. While no official ground assault has been confirmed, the strategic military buildup is broadening Washington's operational options and triggering a more assertive posture from Tehran. Iran is reportedly boosting missile defense systems, laying coastal mines, and expanding underground tunnel networks across key strategic islands to enable weapons storage and sustained operations under fire.Iranian officials are also drawing on asymmetric warfare tactics, including wire-guided drone deployments capable of targeting enemy troops and equipment, in an effort to counterbalance U.S. and Israeli air dominance. Meanwhile, domestic mobilization is accelerating, with recruitment campaigns echoing the imagery of the Iran-Iraq war era, aimed at building public support and military manpower for a prolonged conflict. Tehran has explicitly warned that any strike on Iranian territory could trigger retaliatory attacks across the Gulf, potentially targeting offshore oil platforms, power plants, and desalination facilities, posing serious risks to global energy markets.On the U.S. side, President Trump escalated his rhetoric via Truth Social, warning of imminent

The recent Shiba Inu (SHIB) price weakness appears to be fading as the meme coin finds new support, alongside a spike in netflows. Currently, Shiba Inu is valued at $0.000006018, with a market capitalization of $3.54 billion, according to CoinMarketCap data.

Advertisement New Shiba Inu price supportRecent data shows that Shiba Inu's netflow is up 76.9% over the past 24 hours, a positive increase. The magnitude of the net outflow grew roughly from about $110,000 in the past 24 hours to roughly $195,000.So, it shows that 77% more SHIB left exchanges than the previous day. Spikes in netflows are often interpreted as accumulation from large players, while drops point to reduced positions, or selling. Also, the surge in netflows might be a clear indication that whales are increasing their position, betting on Shiba Inu's potential for a price surge. With stronger holder conviction and less SHIB available for sale on exchanges, downward pressure eases. The price tends to stabilize or bounce at nearby support levels.SHIB recently rebounded from the $0.00000580 area and is consolidating just above the $0.000006 psychological level.SHIB ready to bounce again?Market analysts highlight that SHIB has formed key support between $0.00000580 and $0.00000590, preventing further downside.

Ad Disclosure Taiwan’s justice ministry is sitting on 210 Bitcoin, seized from criminals and worth roughly $14 million. Most governments would treat that as a footnote. The Bitcoin Policy Institute thinks it should be a starting point.Related Reading: Trump Says US Leaving Iran Soon — What This Means For Bitcoin And OilA Case Built On Worst-Case ScenariosIn a report published Tuesday, BPI research fellow Jacob Langenkamp made the case that Taiwan should build a national Bitcoin reserve — not mainly as a financial play, but as protection against the possibility of a Chinese military blockade or invasion. His argument is simple: if China cuts Taiwan off, gold cannot be moved and dollar reserves can be frozen. Bitcoin, he wrote, requires no physical transport and remains accessible regardless of what happens on the ground.Taiwan’s central bank had already looked at the idea and walked away from it. In December, the bank concluded that Bitcoin was too volatile, too hard to store safely, and too thin in liquidity to serve as a reserve asset.

Langenkamp acknowledged those concerns are real — but argued they can be solved with the right institutional know-how on custody and risk management.The Dollar Problem Analysts Say Taiwan Is IgnoringThe report’s broader warning centers on how exposed Taiwan already is to the US dollar. At least 80% of the central bank’s reserves are held in dollar-denominated assets, and most of its trade runs through the same currency.

Network activity on Chainlink [LINK] has been growing over the past year, though its price action has been declining. Institutions have adopted the oracle as whales continue to accumulate the altcoin.

Chainlink whales grow by 25% in a year
The number of Chainlink whales holding well over 1 million LINK tokens has grown by 25% in just one year. That is, from 100 in April 2025 to 125 in April of 2026. Meanwhile, their holdings have continued to grow.

However, prices have remained bearish. This decline has been made worse by the escalation of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

Why LINK’s supply could tighten even more
The fundamentals were tightening the circulating supply of LINK tokens in the market.

For instance, Chainlink Reserve added more than 137,004 LINK tokens worth $1.17 million. This took the total holdings to 2.93 million, valued at $25.6 million, with the chart showing steady growth since last year in August.



Source: Chainlink Reserve
The reserve is expected to continue growing, thanks to fees collected from institutions paying for the oracle services.

For example, Multipli will be distributing its $340 million rwaUSD through Chainlink. The stablecoin is backed by tokenized U.S. equities, which brings liquidity into the chain.

Additionally, Polymarket, which had been integrated into the ecosystem, saw $3.5 billion in trading volume. More than 3,000 traders signed up for Data Streams, expanding the revenue streams of the oracle.

Such increased activity from institutions raised revenue generation. These developments suggested the reserve would increase their effort to cut the circulating supply.

Price action aligning with April 2025 lows
The price action chart of Chainlink was consolidating just below the April 2025 lows. Last year, the altcoin consolidated during the second quarter, and towards the end, it started to rally upwards.

These lows led to LINK

Johnny Ng, a Hong Kong lawmaker and a strong supporter of Web3 and digital assets, says that Hong Kong is not trying to “Beat” other countries in crypto; instead, it can act as a global connector between crypto markets and traditional finance across the U.S., Europe, and China.

Ng says that crypto should not be treated as the Zero sum game, meaning Crypto doesn’t belong to one country and is global, which works best when it is connected. He also stated that Hong Kong’s goal is to link East and West, Crypto startups and traditional banks, and innovation and regulations.

Why Hong Kong has a strong advantage
According to him, Hong Kong already has the strong advantages of a common law system that the global investors could understand and the English language court, trusted by the international businesses, with a free movement of money in and out of the city. This helps Hong Kong to build a crypto market that is regulated, safer, and accepted by the global financial institutions.

A key part of Hong Kong’s strategy involves the Greater Bay Area, which connects cities and Chinese hubs such as Shenzhen and Macau. Ng explained that Hong Kong helps to raise money and handle rules, whereas these main cities turn ideas into real products, which makes the region powerful.

Inviting the global crypto firms

Ng pointed out that Vitalik Buterin spent a lot of time in Hong Kong during Ethereum’s early stages, which shows that the region has long supported blockchain innovations. In 2023, during the period of strict enforcement by the U.S. regulations, he invited the major crypto companies like Coinbase to operate in Hong Kong.

In 2026, Hong Kong plans to introduce clearer custody rules and regulate OTC crypto trading with larger trading limits for professional investors. Ng says that the next phase is about the infrastructure, and these step
