Strait of Hormuz Remains Largely Closed as US-Iran Tensions Escalate Despite Extended Ceasefire: Navy teams are actively clearing explosive mines laid by Iranian forces, describing the operation as part of a broader push to reopen the waterway through which roughly one-fifth of global oil and significant liquefied natural gas volumes normally pass. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports is "growing and going global," with a second aircraft carrier expected to join operations soon. (IBTimes) 2. Iran’s top diplomat visits Russia as part of efforts to end the war: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has arrived in Russia for talks with President Vladimir Putin, as part of efforts to end the United States-Israel war on Iran. (AlJazeera) 3. Palestinian authorities call local elections in a Gaza community and the West Bank a success: The Palestinian Authority, which administers semiautonomous areas of the West Bank but is left out of the U.S.-drafted ceasefire plan for Gaza, has described Saturday’s local election in central Gaza’s Deir al-Balah as a largely symbolic pilot while the authority seeks to politically link the territories. (AP) -US Events- 1. Correspondents' dinner shooting suspect wrote anti-Christian manifesto: On Saturday, Cole Tomas Allen, 31, charged a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton during the White House Correspondents' Dinner, firing a shotgun and wounding a Secret Service agent before being tackled and arrested. Sent to his family 10 minutes before the attack, Allen's manifesto dubbed him the "Friendly Federal Assassin" and detailed plans to kill Trump administration officials. Allen also attended a leftist anti-Trump No Kings protest, was a regular at the shooting range, and was a member of a group known as The Wide Awakes, Heinrich wrote. (GroundNews, Breitbart) 2. King Charles set to meet Trump for the toughest mission of his reign: The monarch lands in the US on Monday for a four-day state visit to mark the 250th anniversary of its independence, declared during the reign of his five-times great-grandfather, King George III. (CNN) 3. Virginia Supreme Court considers whether to block voter-approved US House map favoring Democrats: The case contends that the Democratic-led General Assembly violated procedural requirements by placing the constitutional amendment before voters to authorize mid-decade redistricting. If the court agrees that lawmakers broke the rules, it could invalidate the amendment and render last week’s statewide vote meaningless. (AP) -Regulatory and Legal- 1. Tennessee Becomes Second State to Outlaw Bitcoin, Crypto ATMs: Tennessee has become the second U.S. state to outlaw Bitcoin ATMs, making it a criminal offense in the Volunteer State to own or operate the machines that federal authorities have identified as a vector committing fraud against the elderly. The legislation was co-sponsored by Republican state representatives Cameron Sexton and Jay Reedy. In a March statement, Sexton said the kiosks “have become a gateway for scammers to exploit Tennesseans, especially our seniors.” According to FBI numbers released this month, Americans aged over 60 lost $257 million | 3,287 BTC to scams involving Bitcoin ATMs last year, a 58% increase year-over-year. (Decrypt) (AC-For context, Rep Sexton was a guest speaker at a BV event lately and is an outspoken voice on conservative and freedom-oriented issues. This issue is apparently nuanced and debateable) -CBDCs/World Currencies/Strategic Reserves- 1. The world’s central banks finally see crypto as a real monetary threat to TradFi: The world's central banks stopped arguing about whether stablecoins are risky long ago. Their main concern now is about who will control them and how. The Bank for International Settlements, often called the central bankers' central bank, has raised concerns about stablecoins before, but the language they've used is much sharper now. De Cos warned about runs that could trigger market stress, about dollar-pegged tokens accelerating the dollarization of developing economies, and about fragmented regulatory frameworks that private firms can arbitrage across borders. That's the language of systemic risk, distinct from the investor-protection framing that dominated earlier debates.(CryptoSlate) -Institutional Concerns- 1. Bitcoin leads $1.2B weekly haul for global crypto funds as institutional demand builds: Global crypto investment products drew $1.2 billion in weekly inflows, marking a fourth straight positive week. (TheBlock) 2. Grayscale moves away from Coinbase for new ETF product – Is Wall Street building a post-Coinbase custody map?: Grayscale’s decision to swap Coinbase for Anchorage in a new ETF filing is small on paper and significant in context because it shines a light on how much of Wall Street’s Bitcoin wrapper still depends on one custodian. (CryptoSlate) (AC-A soverign bitcoiners, we prefer self-custody over institutional custody, but that option isn't viable for all financial products. It is good to see more options.) -Economic Indicators- 1. US 10-Year Yield Holds Firm: The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note hovered around 4.32% on Monday, little changed but maintaining last week’s gains as stalled US–Iran peace negotiations kept markets cautious amid ongoing geopolitical tensions. (TradingEconomics) 2. S&P and Nasdaq Close at Record Levels: The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite both finished Friday at record highs, buoyed by optimism that US–Iran peace talks may soon occur in Pakistan. The S&P 500 rose 0.8% to 7,1658, while the Nasdaq climbed 1.6% to 24,837. (TradingEconomics) -Security Concerns- 1. France Charges 88, Including Minors, in Crypto ‘Wrench Attack’ Crackdown: France has recorded 135 crypto-linked incidents since 2023, amid a nationwide surge in so-called “wrench attacks." Six suspects were arrested this month in two separate operations linked to kidnappings in Challes-les-Eaux and Dompierre-sur-Mer; all six are in pre-trial detention. Investigators identified structured criminal networks by tracing repeat offenders across 135 incidents recorded since 2023. (Decrypt) -Technology and Science- 1. Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman head to court in high-stakes showdown over AI: Technology tycoons Elon Musk and Sam Altman are poised to face off in a high-stakes trial revolving around the alleged betrayal, deceit and unbridled ambition that blurred the bickering billionaires’ once-shared vision for the development of artificial intelligence. The trial, which is scheduled to begin Monday with jury selection, centers on the 2015 birth of ChatGPT maker OpenAI as a nonprofit startup primarily funded by Musk before evolving into a capitalistic venture now valued at $852 billion. The trial’s outcome could sway the balance of power in AI. (AP) 2. Musk Warns Technology Degrades Without Constant Effort: In clips amplified by influencer Dustin, Musk explains that the U.S. reached the moon in 1969 with slide rules and basic computers, but after the space shuttle ended in 2011, NASA couldn't send astronauts to orbit for years. He argues technology doesn't improve on its own—it degrades like ancient Egypt forgetting pyramid skills amid complacency. Viewers connect this to bureaucracy and demographics, while critics note Apollo's huge budget share has shrunk, though SpaceX now dominates orbital launches and proves private drive works. (X) (AC-Not a common assertion, tech entropy does require some philosphic and mechanistic understanding in order to drive meaningful progress. It's good to see a debate over something that affects all humanity.) -Bitcoin Community- 1. A long-time developer wants to split Bitcoin blockchain and reassign Satoshi coins. The community is calling it a theft: Paul Sztorc proposes a 2026 hard fork of Bitcoin called eCash, giving BTC holders equivalent tokens and adding Drivechains. A hard fork splits a blockchain into a new network with shared history but different rules, like Bitcoin Cash in 2017. The fork is scheduled for Bitcoin block height 964,000 in August 2026. A coin-splitter tool will be released to help holders cleanly separate their BTC from their new eCash. The new chain will be a near-copy of Bitcoin's existing blockchain, with one critical addition called Drivechains. Drivechains are sidechains tethered to the Bitcoin blockchain, allowing seamless movement of BTC between the main chain and sidechains without changing Bitcoin's base layer. Each sidechain can operate under its own rules and features, essentially allowing developers to build new capabilities on top of Bitcoin without requiring the entire network to adopt those changes.

Hezbollah MP: ceasefire 'meaningless' in light of Israeli attacks: Lebanon's Hezbollah said a U.S.-mediated ceasefire in the war with Israel was meaningless ​a day after it was extended for three weeks, ‌pointing to continued Israeli attacks in south Lebanon and saying the group had the right to respond. "Any Israeli ⁠aggression ​against any Lebanese target, regardless of ​its nature, gives the resistance the right to respond proportionately," MP Fayyad said. (Reuters) (AC- The distinction between Lebannon and Hezbollah must be clear in reporting and understanding of this issue. The ceasefire is with the country, not the Iranian proxy. It seems the country is looking to rid itself of Hezbollah.) 3. Panama Canal says $1 million-plus auction slots reflect temporary surge in demand: The Panama Canal Authority said on Thursday that some ships had recently paid more than $1 million for crossing slots at auction, but ​said the unusually high prices reflected a temporary rise in demand ‌rather than persistent congestion at the waterway. The authority said average auction prices had risen to about $385,000 after the start of the Middle East conflict, from around $135,000 to $140,000 before, as higher traffic boosted demand ​for reservations. (Reuters) -US Events- 1. US special forces soldier arrested after allegedly winning $400,000 on Maduro raid: A US special forces soldier involved in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was arrested and charged for allegedly betting on that operation, netting him $400,000 in profits. Master Sgt. Gannon Ken Van Dyke opened an account in late December on Polymarket, one of the best-known prediction markets. He wagered about $32,000 that Maduro would be “out” by January. The bet was a long-shot. But Van Dyke was involved in the planning and execution of Operation Absolute Resolve, prosecutors allege, and had access to classified information before he placed the bet. (CNN) 2. North Carolina woman, Houston-area teen accused of plot against Congregation Beth Israel: Court documents state that 18-year-old Angelina Han Hicks conspired to "kill as many Jews as possible" by driving through Congregation Beth Israel in Houston.

A juvenile was charged in Harris County, Texas. (Fox26) 3. Trump reclassifies state-licensed medical marijuana as a less-dangerous drug in a historic shift: The order signed by Todd Blanche does not legalize marijuana for medical or recreational use under federal law. But it does change the way it’s regulated, shifting licensed medical marijuana from Schedule I — reserved for drugs without medical use and with high potential for abuse — to the less strictly regulated Schedule III. It also gives licensed medical marijuana operators a major tax break and eases some barriers to researching cannabis.

The US and Iran maintained their blockade on the Strait of Hormuz, although Pakistan signaled that the Irani delegation would be open to talks this weekend. (TradingEconomics) 2. US 10-Year Yield Climbs on Middle East Concerns: The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note rose to around 4.33% on Friday, extending gains for a fifth co session as stalled US-Iran peace efforts and continued disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz kept inflation risks elevated. (TradingEconomics) -Security Concerns- 1. Proposed House Bill Would Require Warrants for Government AI Surveillance: Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie and Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert introduced the Surveillance Accountability Act on Thursday. If passed, the legislation would amend Title 18 of the U.S. Code to codify a broad warrant requirement for government searches, close what supporters describe as the “third-party doctrine” loophole, and give individuals the right to sue the government for Fourth Amendment violations. (Decrypt) -Technology and Science- 1. Meta Will Lay Off 8,000 Employees as AI Focus Intensifies: Meta informed workers of sweeping layoffs Thursday, targeting roughly 8,000 employees—about 10% of its global workforce—while also eliminating 6,000 unfilled positions, as the Facebook and Instagram parent company funnels unprecedented resources into artificial intelligence development.

Senate Republicans Advance $70 Billion ICE, Border Patrol Funding Plan: Budget reconciliation allows the 53-member Republican majority to bypass the 60-vote threshold, requiring only a simple majority.

Pentagon Says Secretary of the Navy John Phelan Exiting Trump Administration: Secretary of the U.S. Navy John Phelan was revealed to be leaving his role with the Trump administration, “effective immediately,” Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell shared. Phelan was reportedly “asked to step down,” an “official” in the Trump administration told the Hill. Phelan’s departure comes after he was sworn into his position in March 2025. (Breitbart) 3. At least 10 people tied to sensitive US research have died or disappeared in recent years, sparking federal investigation: A nuclear physicist and MIT professor fatally shot outside his Massachusetts residence.

Russia Advances Sweeping Crypto Bill With Provisions for 'Circumventing Sanctions': the legislation would classify cryptocurrency as property, enabling legal protection in court proceedings including bankruptcy and divorce cases.

And Bitcoin shows incredible potential as a computer science tool that through the proof of work protocols, actually imposes more cost than just the algorithmic securing of networks and our ability to operate.” “Bitcoin is a reality, it is a valuable computer science tool as a power projection.
