Ahead of the negotiations between the U.S. and Iran this weekend, oil prices have risen but remain below $100 per barrel. Emmanuel Belostreino, head of global crude oil and geopolitical market data at Kpler, stated, "The outcome of the negotiations, especially whether a viable shipping navigation agreement can be formed, is a key variable in determining whether the current backlog situation can begin to ease."In early European trading, both WTI and Brent crude oil continued to rise, currently reported at $99.7 per barrel and $97.6 per barrel, respectively. Navigation in the Strait of Hormuz remains largely frozen, and supply disruptions keep the market tense. Iran's attacks on Saudi Arabia's main export route (the East-West pipeline) have resulted in a daily reduction of approximately 700,000 barrels in the pipeline's delivery capacity.

Michael Barr, a member of the Federal Reserve, stated that the development of stablecoins must be built on strict regulation and warned that without effective constraints, it could replay the "long history of problems caused by private currencies."In his speech, Barr pointed out that although the GENIUS Stablecoin Act has provided an initial regulatory framework for the industry, the key lies in subsequent enforcement, including ongoing monitoring of reserve assets and mechanisms to prevent illegal uses. He emphasized that stablecoins can only be truly considered "stable" if they can maintain par value redemption in various market conditions. The liquidity and safety of reserve assets are particularly critical during market pressures or when the issuer's own risks increase. Additionally, Barr noted that stablecoin issuers have the incentive to increase yields for profit, which may lead them to take on higher risks in reserve asset management, thus posing a potential threat to financial stability.

Currently, the regulatory issues surrounding stablecoins remain one of the significant points of divergence in U.S. cryptocurrency legislation and have, to some extent, affected the progress of related bills.

According to Forbes, although the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) lifted the retail ban on cryptocurrency exchange-traded notes in October 2025, actual access remains subject to multiple restrictions.Bitcoin ETNs are classified as "restricted retail market investments," requiring investors to go through processes such as risk warnings, suitability tests, and cooling-off periods, and they do not benefit from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme protection. In addition, major banks like HSBC and Barclays have imposed limits on transfers to cryptocurrency exchanges, with some banks even directly blocking related transactions.The head of European financial institutions at Bitwise Asset Management stated that the FCA's "same risk, same regulation" principle is too vague, conflating Bitcoin with speculative tokens, which forces investors to turn to offshore platforms with weaker regulations.Starting from April 2026, cryptocurrency ETNs cannot be included in mainstream ISA tax-free accounts and can only be held in innovative finance ISAs, further restricting tax-advantaged holding channels. Critics point out that regulatory measures intended to reduce risk are instead pushing investors into higher-risk environments, contrary to the original intent of consumer protection.

Lombard and Bitwise Asset Management announced a partnership at the Digital Asset Summit in New York, offering a solution for institutions to earn yields and collateralize BTC lending without moving assets out of custody, targeting the scale of BTC assets under institutional custody.Bitwise will develop yield strategies that combine DeFi lending with tokenized real-world assets, while the decentralized lending protocol Morpho will provide the infrastructure for BTC collateralized lending. The platform uses Bitcoin-native tools such as partially signed transactions and time locks to verify collateral, allowing positions to be represented on-chain without transferring or re-collateralizing the underlying assets.Phillips stated that Bitcoin Smart Accounts can simultaneously reduce custody, cross-chain bridge, and counterparty risks. This solution is aimed at high-net-worth individuals, asset management firms, and corporate treasuries, with plans to launch in the second quarter of 2026 and will add more custodians and protocols to expand coverage.Lombard estimates that approximately $500 billion in BTC is under institutional custody; DefiLlama data shows that the total locked value of BTC in DeFi is about $2.93 billion, with a market cap of approximately $1.4 trillion; as of the time of writing, Babylon Protocol's total locked value is about $2.8 billion, and Lombard's is approximately $744 million.

According to Jinshi reports, analysts at Barclays Bank pointed out in a report that although the Middle East conflict has driven up energy prices and supported the dollar exchange rate, the risk premium for the dollar has not decreased. The market still demands a higher premium for dollar assets to compensate for the increased uncertainty of U.S. policies. Analysts stated that it is reasonable to expect a certain degree of weakening of the dollar in the short term.
