On Friday, the demand for put options (the right to sell) on the Deribit platform was nearly 2.5 times that of equivalent call options (the right to buy), indicating an increased demand for neutral to bearish strategies in the market. Some of this pessimism can be attributed to soaring energy prices. WTI crude oil prices have remained above $94 since March 12th, a 50% increase from the previous month. Disruptions to oil and gas production and logistics in the Middle East have negatively impacted economic growth expectations and limited the Federal Reserve's ability to significantly cut interest rates due to inflationary pressures.
While net outflows of $254 million over two days are unlikely to signal a shift to bearishness among institutional investors, traders are not convinced that Bitcoin can hold the $68,000 level. Trader sentiment is primarily driven by deteriorating macroeconomic conditions and the uncertainty brought by ongoing conflicts, leading to increased demand for downside protection in derivatives.

President Trump's decision to go to war with Iran, partly influenced by external allies while his own White House team adopted a more restrained stance, highlights how existing checks and balances have been replaced by a "green light" signal in his second term. Those who privately urged Trump to act against Iran include Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, media mogul Rupert Murdoch, and some conservative commentators, according to sources familiar with the matter. The News Corp founder communicated with Trump multiple times, urging him to take action against Tehran. Meanwhile, some of Trump's closest advisors were more reserved about the prospect of armed conflict, including Vice President Vance, Secretary of State Rubio, and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wells. Few, if any, told him to his face that it was an ill-considered decision. Wells reportedly tried to ensure the president was fully briefed on the various options, while Vance urged senior officials to speak frankly with the president and discuss the possibility of war. In a closed-door meeting before the attack, Vance also inquired about the specifics of how a war would unfold. The initiation of this war marks one of the most significant decisions of Trump's second term. The decision has pushed his administration to the brink of domestic and international crisis, shaken U.S. alliances, driven up energy costs, and complicated the Republican Party's prospects in the midterm elections. Despite these factors, Trump remained resolute, stating that the decision on when to end the war would be his alone. This demonstrates the extent of the president's power to act on his own instincts and shows how little opposition he faced within his team, even as he abandoned key campaign promises such as ending overseas wars.

According to Alex Thorn, head of company-wide research at investment firm Galaxy, the recent guidance issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) on establishing digital asset classifications marks "the end of an era" for SEC policy under former Chairman Gary Gensler.

The SEC's guidance, released on Tuesday, establishes a framework for classifying digital assets into five categories: digital commodities, digital collectibles (such as non-fungible tokens (NFTs)), digital instruments, stablecoins, and tokenized securities.

Thorn stated that the new regulatory approach provides much-needed clarity for the cryptocurrency industry over the next 30 months; however, he clarified that the CLARITY for Crypto Market Structure Act must be codified into law to solidify these rules for decades to come.
