Geopolitical tensions took another turn on April 18 as Iran announced it has reasserted control over the Strait of Hormuz — one of the world’s most critical energy corridors.
In response, U.S. President Donald Trump pushed back firmly, stating that Iran “cannot coerce” the United States. Speaking during a White House media briefing, Trump struck a somewhat balanced tone — acknowledging that ongoing discussions between the two countries are “very good” and progressing “very smoothly,” while also warning against any attempt to use the strait as leverage.
“We are talking to them… they want to block the strait again, but Iran cannot coerce us,” Trump said, hinting that further developments could emerge before the end of the day.
Meanwhile, Iran signaled a much tougher stance on the ground. A spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbiya Air Defense Headquarters stated that due to what it described as repeated U.S. violations of commitments, Iran has restored full control over the strait. The area, according to Iranian officials, is now under strict supervision by its armed forces.
This dual narrative — diplomatic optimism paired with military assertiveness — highlights the fragile balance currently shaping U.S.–Iran relations. While both sides are engaged in dialogue, actions on the ground suggest neither is willing to ease strategic pressure just yet.
Given that nearly 20% of the world’s oil supply passes through the Strait of Hormuz, even the slightest disruption or escalation can ripple across global markets.

Congresswoman Biggs discloses six-figure BlackRock bitcoin ETF buy as BTC rebounds

U.S. Representative Sheri Biggs disclosed a purchase of up to $250,000 in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF.

The filing reportedly ranks among the largest bitcoin-related trades reported by an active member of Congress.
Rep. Sheri Biggs has disclosed a purchase of up to $250,000 in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF, one of the largest bitcoin-related trades publicly reported by an active member of Congress.

A House periodic transaction report filed this week shows Biggs’ spouse purchased shares of the fund on March 4 in the $100,001 to $250,000 range through a professionally managed UBS account held in the W.S.B Trust.

The fund, known by its ticker IBIT, is BlackRock’s spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund, which directly tracks the price of Bitcoin.
Unlike an earlier disclosure tied to a similar purchase last year, the latest filing appears to comply with the STOCK Act’s 45-day reporting window. The March 4 trade was disclosed on April 16, 43 days later.

Biggs previously reported another IBIT purchase in the same dollar range tied to a July 2025 transaction. That filing was submitted late as part of a broader batch of delayed disclosures that drew scrutiny over congressional trading transparency, Yahoo Finance reported at the time.

No allegation of wrongdoing has been made in either case, and the latest filing states the account is professionally managed.

Exodus Movement has announced an expansion of its support for the XRP Ledger (XRPL). The long-time self-custodial crypto wallet provider announced the update in collaboration with Ripple.Exodus is deploying a deep native integration of the XRPL ecosystem, giving its millions of users direct access to advanced tools and newly added stablecoin support.The rollout equips users with enhanced in-wallet tools to send and manage XRP directly inside Exodus, while also paving the way for upcoming support of the Ripple USD (RLUSD) stablecoin through its partnership with Ripple, per a Thursday press release.Users now gain greater flexibility to store, send, and swap dollar-pegged value on the XRPL— all while retaining full control of their private keys and avoiding reliance on centralized exchanges.“Expanding XRPL support means more ways to use XRP without sacrificing self-custody or the simplicity of the Exodus experience,” Exodus CEO JP Richardson postulated in a statement. “XRP is already a top asset in our wallet, and partnering with Ripple is a natural next step in making it easier to use every day.” RLUSD is a highly-regulated, enterprise-focused U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin designed with transparency and real-world utility in mind. Since going live in late 2024, its market capitalization has soared to around $1.48 billion, according to CoinMarketCap data.Stablecoin Product Lead at Ripple, Lauren Berta, said that open financial systems should empower users with greater control, adding that RLUSD enhances flexibility in how value is stored and moved.Exodus has long offered support for XRP storage and transactions, during which the payments-focused token has organically become one of the platform’s most prominent assets. According to the Exodus team, XRP consistently ranks among its top coins in terms of daily user activity and in-app swap volume. Notably, earli

A short-selling campaign targeting Wall Street's "tax avoidance business" is now aimed at a multi-billion dollar asset management giant.

According to a recent letter to investors obtained by Bloomberg, short-selling firm Orso Partners has established a short position in Affiliated Managers Group (AMG). AMG is an investment firm managing $813 billion, and its holdings include AQR Capital Management, founded by Cliff Asness.

Orso's logic is straightforward: AQR's core growth engine in recent years-its tax optimization strategy-is facing a direct threat from tightening regulations. Once regulations are implemented, AMG's profits will be the first to be affected.

Following the report, AMG's stock price fell as much as 1.7% to $294.28 that day, completely erasing its earlier 2.9% intraday gain.

How large is this "tax avoidance business"?

The continuous rise in US stocks over the past few years has allowed wealthy investors to accumulate substantial taxable gains. Wall Street subsequently saw the emergence of products called "tax-aware long-short strategies," specifically designed to help high-net-worth clients legally reduce their tax burden.

The operational logic is not complex: hold profitable stocks long-term to defer tax payments, while actively selling losing stocks to "reap the losses," using the losses to offset other gains, thereby reducing the current tax bill
