#The Senate passed a 10-day FISA extension 2026 by voice vote Friday, keeping the surveillance program alive until April 30 after a bloc of 20 House Republicans overnight derailed both a five-year and an 18-month renewal that Speaker Johnson and the White House had spent a week negotiating. Summary Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act was set to expire Monday; the Senate’s rare Friday session approved the stopgap, sending the measure to Trump for signature. A 10-day extension was the last resort after the House failed 197-228 on a procedural vote for the 18-month plan, following an earlier collapse of a five-year extension with revisions. Trump had lobbied hard all week for a clean long-term renewal, posting on Truth Social urging Republicans to “UNIFY” and calling FISA vital to the Iran war campaign. The Senate cleared a FISA extension 2026 stopgap by voice vote Friday morning, buying Congress until April 30 after an all-night collapse on Capitol Hill left two separate long-term renewal attempts in ruins. The measure goes to President Trump for signature before the program’s Monday expiration. Section 702 allows US spy agencies including the CIA, NSA, and FBI to collect foreign communications without a warrant, including those of Americans in contact with targeted foreigners. Intelligence officials have called it the single most important national security tool the country has. “FISA is the single most important national security asset we have in the intelligence field,” said Sen. Angus King of Maine, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee. “It constitutes a very high percentage of the president’s daily brief.” You might also like: NEA explores use of artificial intelligence in nuclear regulation What Collapsed Overnight Johnson entered Thursday evening believing a deal was in hand.

Beaten-down digital asset treasury names lead crypto stock surge as bitcoin hits 
Crypto-linked stocks surged Friday, led by a sharp rally in beaten-down digital asset treasury firms, as progress toward ending the Iran war jolted risk assets, sending bitcoin to a two-month high of $78,000.

U.S. President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post that Iran committed to keeping open the Strait of Hormuz, a key artery for global energy markets.

"Iran has just announced that the Strait… is fully open and ready for full passage," Trump said in a Truth Social post, adding that peace talks between the countries were progressing. Reports that the U.S. is considering unfreezing $20 billion in Iranian assets and Trump's remarks about acquiring Iran's enriched uranium further boosted sentiment.
As the headlines helped calm fears of a prolonged energy shock, crude oil tanked 13% to near $80 per barrel.

Ethereum NFT platform Foundation shuts down after failed acquisition deal.

Foundation, once a leading Ethereum-based NFT marketplace during the 2021 boom, has officially announced its closure after a planned sale to digital art platform Blackdove fell through. The company’s founder stated that the goal of the deal was to ensure long-term sustainability under new ownership, but that is no longer possible.

Since its launch in 2021, Foundation facilitated over $230 million in primary NFT sales, supporting well-known digital artists and high-profile works, including Edward Snowden’s “Stay Free,” which sold for approximately $5 million at the time.

The shutdown reflects the broader decline in NFT market activity following its peak in 2021–2022. Reduced liquidity and falling trading volumes have made it difficult for independent platforms to survive. Several other NFT marketplaces, including Nifty Gateway, MakersPlace, and X2Y2, have either shut down or shifted focus away from NFTs.

Despite the downturn, OpenSea remains the dominant player in the NFT space, holding a majority share of trading activity. Some industry leaders still believe the NFT sector could recover in the future, but current trends show ongoing consolidation and reduced market participation.

Data shows the crypto Fear & Greed Index is still inside the extreme fear territory despite the recovery that Bitcoin and other coins have made.

Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index Is Still Pointing At ‘Extreme Fear’
The “Fear & Greed Index” is an indicator created by Alternative that tells us about the average sentiment present among traders in the Bitcoin and wider cryptocurrency markets. The index takes into account for the data of the following five factors to determine the investor mentality: trading volume, market cap dominance, volatility, social media sentiment, and Google Trends.

To represent the market sentiment, the metric makes use of a numerical scale running from zero to hundred. All values on this scale that lie below 47 correspond to a net sentiment of fear, while those above 53 suggest the dominance of greed among investors. Naturally, the values lying between these two cutoffs imply a neutral mentality.

Besides these three main zones, there are also two ‘extreme’ regions called the extreme fear (25 and under) and extreme greed (above 75). Historically, these two have held significance for the market as they have been where major tops and bottoms have tended to form.

The relationship between prices and sentiment has been an inverse one, however, with tops appearing during extreme greed and bottoms alongside extreme fear.

Recently, the crypto sector has been stuck in the latter of the two, as the below chart shows.


How the Fear & Greed Index has changed over the past year | Source: Alternative
The long stay in the extreme fear zone has been a consequence of the bearish action that Bitcoin and other assets have faced since Q4 2025. In mid-March, BTC’s recovery to $75,000 meant that the market saw a temporary respite from rock-bottom sentiment, with the Fear & Greed Index surging to a peak of 28. After the BTC rally fizzled ou

Bitcoin steadies as Iran reopens Hormuz but Trump keeps crypto‑fuelled oil squeeze


Iran’s move to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz while Donald Trump keeps Iran’s ships under blockade has left oil and Bitcoin trading the ceasefire headline by headline.

Iran’s announcement that it has fully reopened the Strait of Hormuz has eased the worst energy shock fears, but President Donald Trump’s decision to maintain a US naval blockade on Iranian ships and ports has kept oil and crypto markets on edge. Around 20% of the world’s oil normally moves through the strait, making it one of the most important chokepoints for global energy and a key macro driver for Bitcoin’s ($BTC) role as a geopolitical hedge.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on X that the waterway is now “fully open” to commercial vessels, signaling Tehran’s willingness to restore flows even as a fragile 10‑day truce between Israel and Iran‑backed Hezbollah in Lebanon holds. Trump initially echoed that tone, posting that Iran had declared the strait “fully open and ready for full passage” before reversing minutes later and insisting the blockade will continue “UNTIL SUCH TIME AS OUR TRANSACTION WITH IRAN IS 100% COMPLETE.”

Hormuz reopening meets unresolved U.S. blockade

Trump first ordered the blockade earlier this week after Iran partially restricted traffic through the strait, a move Washington framed as a breach of the Pakistan‑brokered ceasefire between the US, Israel and Iran. At the time, Trump said the navy would enforce an “all or none” policy, effectively turning Hormuz into leverage over nuclear talks, tanker insurance and any attempt by Tehran to monetize exports via schemes such as the mooted $1‑per‑barrel crypto‑denominated toll reported in an earlier crypto.news story.

Le Monde reports that direct talks between the US and Iran last weekend were inconclusive, with “
