Fresh Hormuz tanker attacks revive oil-shock fears and geopolitical risk for Bitcoin
Three tankers were struck by projectiles in the Strait of Hormuz, according to the British military and regional reporting, reigniting concerns over one of the world’s most important energy chokepoints.

U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs recorded a combined $265.7 million of net inflows for July 6, led by $209.4 million into BlackRock’s IBIT.

Galaxy said it completed Phase I delivery at Helios, providing 133 megawatts of critical IT load to CoreWeave under a 15-year lease.

Bitcoin rebound looks fragile as thin liquidity leaves half the supply underwater

Nearly double what it was a year ago.

No bank approved it. No government cleared it. Nobody granted access.

Highest level in more than 30 years.

One of the world's biggest liquidity providers is becoming more expensive.

That's exactly the kind of macro shift Bitcoin traders should be paying attention to. https://t.co/nboZnCJnYe
