The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) tightened its monetary policy on Tuesday, responding to rising inflation risks triggered by an escalating conflict in the Middle East. The central bank announced a slight increase in the appreciation rate of the Singapore dollar nominal effective exchange rate (S$NEER) policy band, a move widely anticipated by market analysts. The width of the band and its center level remain unchanged.MAS warned that Singapore's imported energy costs have already climbed and that prices across a broader range of goods and services are expected to rise in coming quarters. The bank revised its core and headline inflation forecasts for 2026 upward to 1.5%–2.5%, from a prior range of 1.0%–2.0%. Despite these pressures, Oxford Economics senior economist Sheana Yue described the situation as not yet a severe inflation scenario, though she cautioned that persistent cost pressures through food prices and wages could trigger additional policy tightening if secondary effects emerge faster than expected.The decision coincided with weaker-than-expected economic data. Singapore's GDP expanded 4.6% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2026, falling short of the 5.9% growth analysts had projected. On a seasonally adjusted quarter-on-quarter basis, the economy contracted 0.3% from the fourth quarter of 2025. The government's trade ministry, which had previously forecast full-year growth of 2% to 4%, is expected to release updated projections in May.To cushion the economic blow of the conflict, the Singapore government announced a support package of nearly S$1 billion, covering cash payouts and fuel vouchers for residents. Unlike most central banks, Singapore manages monetary policy through exchange rate adjustments rather than interest rates, using the slope, midpoint, and width of the S$NEER band as its primary tools.Gold is meant to be a ‘safe haven’ i

Why Is China Blocking Stablecoin Promotion Despite High Market Demand?

China orders brokers and think tanks to stop promoting stablecoins, citing fraud and speculation risks.

Despite the ban, OTC crypto trading in China hit $75B in the first nine months of 2024.

Hong Kong moves ahead with strict new stablecoin rules, aiming to become a digital asset hub.

China has told brokers, think tanks, and financial institutions to stop promoting stablecoins – no research reports, no seminars, no hype.

The orders, issued in late July and early August, are aimed at cooling the growing interest in the sector. Regulators are worried that stablecoins could be used for fraud in mainland China, and that too much excitement could trigger a “herd rush” into risky investments.

Why XRP Has No Role at the Strait of Hormuz, While Bitcoin and Stablecoins In It

Iran is collecting crypto payments from oil tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz — accepting Bitcoin and stablecoins at up to $2 million per vessel. But one major crypto asset is completely absent from this story. $XRP, despite being purpose-built for fast, cheap cross-border payments, has not been mentioned once.

Here is the honest reason why.

What Is Actually Happening at Hormuz Right Now

Since mid-March 2026, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has been operating what is effectively a toll booth at one of the world’s most critical shipping chokepoints. The IRGC charges ship operators up to $2 million per vessel to transit the strait, accepting payment in either Chinese yuan, routed through Kunlun Bank via CIPS, Bitcoin, or possibly $USDT.

Under this system, oil tankers must email their cargo details to Iranian authorities. Iran then charges about $1 per barrel and tells the crew to pay the exact amount in Bitcoin within seconds to get permission to pass.

Iran made this rule official through the Strait of Hormuz Management Plan, approved on March 30–31, 2026. This is the first time a country has used crypto to collect fees at a major global shipping route.

The numbers are huge. The system could bring in up to $20 million per day from oil tankers alone, and as much as $600–$800 million per month if gas shipments are included.

Why Bitcoin and Stablecoin?

Iran did not choose Bitcoin because it is the best payment technology, but because no one can freeze or block it. With decades of sanctions cutting off access to global finance, Bitcoin works as a neutral payment rail.

It doesn’t need approval, has no central issuer, and cannot be seized mid-transfer, making it ideal for cross-border trade when traditional systems are blocked.

Meanwhile, stablecoins like Tether solve a different problem: price stability. They help Iran avoid volatility while m

Bitcoin has retraced back to the $71,000 level, as on-chain data shows profit-taking behavior among investors has once again witnessed a spike.

Bitcoin Realized Profit Crossed $20M/Hour During Rally

In a new post on X, on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has talked about the latest trend in the Bitcoin Realized Profit, which is an indicator that measures, as its name suggests, the total amount of profit that BTC addresses/investors are realizing through their transactions.

Below is the chart shared by Glassnode that shows how the 24-hour simple moving average (SMA) of this Bitcoin metric has fluctuated over the last few months.

As is visible in the graph, the 24-hour SMA of the Bitcoin Realized Profit has seen a couple of spikes of a notable scale during the last few days. The spikes came as BTC recovered from its recent lows and broke back above the $73,000 level. Thus, it would appear that investors took the recovery opportunity to exit with profits.

During the spikes, profit-taking exceeded $20 million per hour. Since this investor is selling, BTC has retraced back below $71,000, indicating that the profit realization likely played a role in the rally topping out.

This is actually a pattern that has been witnessed a few times during the recent consolidation range already. “Every approach to the $70k–$ 80k band faces thin liquidity and profit-taking pressure, capping the bounce,” noted the analytics firm. Given that the latest rally has also been obstructed by profit-taking, it would appear that fresh liquidity capable of absorbing the selling pressure is still absent from the market.

The continued sideways movement from Bitcoin has meant that a chunk of the userbase has remained stuck underwater. As Glassnode has pointed out in another X post, a huge number of addresses on the BTC blockchain continue to be in loss.
