Predicting 'When Will Trump End the War'? Here Are the Five Key Points

Based on a Barclays Capital analysis, the article outlines five key factors that will determine the end of the Iran war and its critical impact on global energy markets. Since the conflict began on February 26, 2026, oil prices have surged, with Brent crude up 44%. The war's duration will dictate if oil prices return to a base case of $85/barrel or surpass $110. The five catalysts are: 1. **Military Objectives:** The US aims to destroy Iran's missile capabilities and secure the Strait of Hormuz. The timeline remains uncertain as Iran retains some offensive capacity. 2. **Congressional Funding:** The War Powers Act sets a hard deadline of May 31, 2026, for ending hostilities without congressional authorization, which is unlikely to be granted. 3. **US Casualties:** Rising casualties could further erode the war's already fragile public support, currently at a 41% approval rating. 4. **Gasoline Prices:** The key political threshold is the national average of $5/gallon, a peak seen under President Biden. Exceeding it would increase pressure to end the war. 5. **Trump's Personal Decision:** The President could unilaterally declare victory and end the conflict, but this timing is highly unpredictable. Barclays concludes that the risk to oil prices is skewed to the upside, as current market reactions are less panicked than in previous crises, and the situation reflects a genuine physical supply disruption.

Coinbase Partners with Fannie Mae to Make Crypto Assets a Real 'Down Payment' for Home Purchases

Coinbase has partnered with Better Home & Finance to launch a bitcoin-backed mortgage program supported by Fannie Mae, integrating digital assets into the traditional housing finance system. The product allows eligible borrowers to use Bitcoin or USDC as collateral for down payments without selling their holdings, avoiding potential capital gains taxes while maintaining market exposure. The mortgage is structured as a compliant loan product with standards aligned to traditional Fannie Mae-backed loans. Better originates and services the loans, while Coinbase provides custody and infrastructure support for the crypto assets. The initiative aims to address the barrier of upfront down payment funds, particularly for the 41% of U.S. households that lack sufficient liquid assets despite holding other forms of wealth. Unlike traditional crypto-backed loans, this product minimizes volatility risk for borrowers—no margin calls or additional collateral are required due to price fluctuations. Collateral is only at risk if the borrower is at least 60 days delinquent on mortgage payments. Interest rates are expected to be 0.5 to 1.5 percentage points higher than standard 30-year mortgages. The product reflects shifting wealth patterns, especially among younger Americans—45% of young investors hold crypto, compared to 18% of older adults. It also introduces features like yield generation on USDC holdings to offset mortgage costs. Future plans may include expanding eligible collateral to tokenized stocks, fixed-income products, and real estate assets. Fannie Mae’s involvement signals a move toward broader adoption, positioning digital assets as part of mainstream financial infrastructure.

OpenAI Shuts Down Sora, Disney's $1 Billion Investment Goes Down the Drain, AI Video Market Reshuffles

OpenAI has officially shut down its AI video generation product Sora, including its consumer app, API, and the sora.com domain, as of March 24, 2026, just six months after its public launch. This decision also led to the cancellation of Disney’s three-year licensing agreement and a planned $1 billion investment in OpenAI. The tech community’s reaction highlighted Sora’s lack of real-world adoption, with many questioning whether the product was ever widely used. Competitors like Runway Gen-4, Kling 3.0, and Google Veo are now positioned as the main players in the AI video market. Sora’s shutdown is attributed to high operational costs—estimated at $15 million daily during peak usage—coupled with limited revenue alignment ahead of OpenAI’s expected IPO. Deepfake concerns related to Sora’s content generation features also contributed to its termination. OpenAI will retain Sora’s underlying technology for internal "world simulation" research aimed at robotics field, but no consumer-facing video products are planned. Current Sora users are advised to migrate to alternatives such as Runway, Kling, or Pika. The exit of OpenAI is expected to lead to market consolidation, potential price increases from remaining providers, and greater enterprise opportunities for competitors like Kling. Runway, in particular, may raise subscription prices due to increased demand.
