Bitcoin trades at seventy-seven thousand five hundred dollars as geopolitical risk, oil above one hundred dollars, and spiking Treasury yields trigger over six hundred million in forced liquidations. President Trump warns Iran the clock is ticking, crude surges past one hundred eight dollars, and thirty-year Treasuries hit five point one three percent. Strategy doubles down with two billion in Bitcoin buys while Bitcoin Depot files bankruptcy. The Clarity Act advances through Senate Banking, Aave restores Ether borrowing after Kelp DAO recovery, and NextEra confirms sixty-seven billion Dominion merger creating the world's largest regulated utility. Plus: eleven million dollar bridge hack, Iran's Bitcoin insurance scheme for the Strait of Hormuz, and Jump Crypto's Firedancer goes live on Solana mainnet.
