Crypto markets shed $80B after fresh US strikes on Iran

Crypto markets shed around $80 billion in value over 24 hours after the US reportedly carried out fresh strikes on Iran, pushing total crypto market capitalization to its lowest level since mid-April. The strikes reportedly targeted an Iranian military site and drones near the Strait of Hormuz, while Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps reportedly said it retaliated by attacking a US airbase in Kuwait. Bitcoin fell 3.5% on the day to $72,646 on Coinbase, its lowest level since April 13, while Ether dropped below $2,000. Analysts framed the selloff as a renewed geopolitical risk trade, with traders watching oil prices, inflation risk, Fed policy expectations and thinning crypto liquidity.

BlackRock Bitcoin ETF sees near-record outflows as BTC dips below $75K

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust posted its second-largest daily outflow on record as Bitcoin fell below $75,000 and US spot Bitcoin ETFs extended an eight-day redemption streak. IBIT saw $527.8 million in net outflows on Wednesday, just below its record $528.3 million outflow in January, while total US spot Bitcoin ETF withdrawals reached $733.4 million for the day. The latest outflows pushed US spot Bitcoin ETFs negative year-to-date, with about $596 million in net withdrawals, while cumulative outflows over the eight-day streak reached roughly $2.6 billion. The pullback has renewed concern over weakening institutional demand, with analysts warning that $70,000 could become the next key Bitcoin support level if selling pressure continues.

BIS Project Agorá shows tokenized payments can settle in seconds

The Bank for International Settlements released a report on Project Agorá, an experimental cross-border wholesale payments prototype involving seven central banks and more than 40 regulated financial institutions. The BIS said the system can settle cross-border wholesale payments in seconds once liquidity is locked, using tokenized central bank reserves and commercial bank deposits to reduce credit and settlement risk through atomic settlement. The project uses a two-layer blockchain architecture and aims to preserve the two-tier banking system while making international transactions faster, cheaper and more transparent. Project Agorá is now moving toward real-value testing, though implementation timelines, governance, cybersecurity and liquidity-saving mechanisms still need further work.

Why the ABA says stablecoin yields could drain US bank deposits

The article explains why the American Bankers Association sees yield-bearing stablecoins as a potential threat to US bank deposits. The ABA argues that once stablecoins offer returns comparable to savings accounts or money market products, they begin competing directly with banks for rate-sensitive deposits, especially large balances and funds held mainly to earn yield. That could hit smaller and community banks harder because they rely more heavily on local deposits to fund lending, while larger banks have broader access to wholesale funding.

The piece also lays out the opposing view from policymakers who argue the overall effect on credit may be limited because money backing stablecoins remains inside the financial system through reserves such as bank deposits or short-term Treasurys. The core divide is whether regulators should focus on system-wide capital flows or on where funding sits inside the banking sector. The article frames yield as the key accelerant: stablecoins may already be useful for payments, but once returns are added, they start looking more like bank-account competitors.
