Israeli television channel N12 claimed that Iran’s religious leader Ali Khamenei was killed in the attack. However, this claim has not been independently verified. According to N12, a senior Israeli official claimed that Khamenei had been “neutralized.” Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly addressed the Iranian people, saying, “Your time to take to the streets and overthrow the regime will come soon.” In a public statement made in the evening, Netanyahu reportedly said, “This war will bring true peace,” and stated that the Khamenei compound in central Tehran was the target. On the other hand, there has been no official  confirmation  or denial from Iranian authorities regarding these claims. In an environment where developments in the region are rapidly changing and information flow is limited, the news about Khamenei’s death remains an allegation at this stage. *This is not investment advice. en.bitcoinsistemi.com BLOCKCHAIN AND CRYPTOCU...

Bitcoin  (BTC) rebounded to $69,000 after weeks of selling pressure. This was reflected in altcoins as well, with Ethereum ( ETH ), Solana (SOL), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Cardano (ADA) experiencing double-digit  gains . However, analysts warn that caution is advised regarding the rise. According to them, the rally appears to be a technical bounce triggered by bearish positioning and low  liquidity , rather than strong fundamental catalysts. Speaking to Coindesk, LMAX Group analyst Joel Kruger said caution should be exercised regarding the sustainability of this recovery. Kruger described the movement as a technical recovery in a low-liquidity environment. At this point, Kruger noted that it was not yet accurate to characterize this recovery as the beginning of a sustained uptrend, and that it was too early to do so. Joshua Lim, FalconX’s co-head of global markets, said that some funds have turned to  volatile  altcoins and options following the rally. At...

Donald Trump’s new tariff policies and escalating tensions in the Middle East are increasing uncertainty in global markets, while  Bitcoin  is going through a critical juncture. Strategist James Lavish stated that markets hate uncertainty, and that Trump’s “unpredictability” strategy has put pressure on risk assets like Bitcoin. Lavish said, “Bitcoin is currently acting like a risk asset; we have to accept that fact.” He also warned that markets might turn to “safe havens” such as gold and treasury bonds in response to this uncertainty. Dave Weisberger, former  CEO  of CoinRoutes, argued that the legal and political complexities created by the taxes would generate a wave of economic uncertainty. Weisberger also noted that uncertainty in trade agreements could reduce risk appetite in the business world. Bitcoin’s recent performance and the possibility of a fifth consecutive monthly close in the red have become a topic of discussion among experts. Bloomberg...

OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger confirmed that any mention of  Bitcoin  or other cryptocurrencies on the project’s Discord server can lead to removal. Summary OpenClaw enforces blanket ban on all  crypto  mentions in Discord. Rule follows $CLAWD scam that briefly hit $16M market cap. User banned for Bitcoin timing reference later reinstated. A user was blocked Saturday for referencing Bitcoin  block  height as a timing mechanism in a multi-agent  benchmark .

The attackers promoted a Solana-based  token  called $CLAWD that surged to approximately $16 million in  market capi...

The IMF has called for China to slash state support for industry in half as international concerns mount about overcapacity in the world’s second-largest economy. The fund estimated that  China  spends about 4 per cent of its GDP subsidising companies in critical sectors, and said it should reduce that by 2 percentage points in the medium term. China’s industrial policies “are giving rise to international spillovers and pressures” and have combined with weak domestic demand to make China “more reliant on manufacturing exports as a source of growth”, the fund said. “Industrial policy has enabled tech innovation in some sectors, but overall the impact on the economy has been negative,” said Sonali Jain-Chandra, mission chief at the IMF for China and Asia Pacific, pointing to “resource misallocation” and “overspending”.  The fund has previously called on China to scale back its industrial policies but has not estimated by how much. The recommendations in an IMF r...

Poland preparing ‘reparations’ money grab suit against Russia – FT Poland is preparing a lawsuit against Russia for what it describes as  “reparations”  for the legacy of  “Soviet influence,”  mirroring its earlier demand for €1.3 trillion ($1.36 trillion) in compensation from Germany over crimes committed during World War II, the Financial Times has reported.   In September 2022, Polish President Andrzej Duda signaled that Warsaw might also pursue similar compensation claims against Moscow. Russia has repeatedly dismissed such demands as blatant Russophobia and political extremism. Bartosz Gondek, head of an institute commissioned by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk to investigate alleged  “historic Russian crimes,”  told the outlet on Tuesday the inquiry would be far broader than its previous work on Nazi atrocities. Speaking to the FT, Gondek said it was  “premature”  to say whether the compensation sought from Russia wou...

The minutes from the Federal Reserve’s latest interest rate meeting indicated that further rate cuts may become more likely if  inflation  declines as expected. According to the minutes, some members believed that monetary policy easing could continue if the downward trend in inflation persisted, while the majority thought that inflation might fall at a slower pace than generally anticipated. At its January meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) voted 10 to 2 to keep the policy rate unchanged at 3.50–3.75 percent. Board members Christopher Waller and Stephen Miran called for a 25 basis point rate cut. The committee also removed the phrase “increased downside risks to employment” from the previous three statements. This change was interpreted as a partial improvement in the perception of risks to the labor market. Data released since the January meeting indicate that growth in the US economy is accelerating, inflation is slowing, and the labor market is b...

Russia could begin blocking foreign  cryptocurrency   exchange  websites as early as summer 2026, according to experts cited by RBC. The move may align with the government’s plan to introduce new  crypto  regulations by July 1, bringing  digital  asset trading under formal state supervision. At present, cryptocurrency trading in Russia operates mostly outside direct government control. Daily trading  volume  is estimated at around 50 billion rubles, highlighting the scale of crypto activity in the country.

Bitcoin  BTC$67,846.00 is back below $68,000, making the earlier bounce to above $70,000 look weaker. The largest  cryptocurrency  briefly tried to reclaim the level on Monday, only to be pushed down toward $67,000 as sellers emerged around the breakout zone. It was trading near $68,000 early Wednesday, roughly  flat  on the day but now sitting under what had been short-term support. That shift matters. The $68,000–$70,000 range had acted as a floor through the first half of February. Losing it increases the risk that rallies are sold rather than bought, and a clean break under $67,000 would put $65,000 and possibly $60,000 back in focus. Bitcoin, Ethereum and BNB are all down as much as 3% over seven days, while smaller tokens such as  Zcash 's ZEC and Cosmos' ATOM have posted  gains  of as much as 20% in the past week. Historically, when majors lag, the rest of the market struggles to sustain upside momentum. "The decline of the...

The unprecedentedly pessimistic outlook for  Bitcoin ’s technical indicators has sparked heated debates within the  cryptocurrency  and macroeconomic circles. Leading strategists who gathered for the “Macro Monday” program were completely divided on the future of Bitcoin. The debate centered on whether Bitcoin is a “store of value” or a “ bubble  about to burst.” Bloomberg Senior Commodities Strategist Mike McGlone painted a rather pessimistic picture for Bitcoin and the  crypto  market in general. McGlone placed Bitcoin in the same category as thousands of other crypto assets, arguing that there is an “unlimited supply of cryptocurrencies” in the market, which will lead to a decline in value. The strategist, stating that Bitcoin’s performance in 2024 is “the best point it can reach,” claimed that the market is entering a crash similar to the Tulip Mania in history and that the price could fall to the $10,000 level.
