② Morgan Stanley Bitcoin ETF inflows reach $30.6M on first day

Decrypt report: Morgan Stanley Bitcoin ETF attracted $30.6M on its debut day. Institutional demand for Bitcoin products continues, providing medium- to long-term buying support for BTC.

③ Oil prices approaching $100 again, Houthi plan encounters obstacles

Barrons: Trump’s Houthi opening plan faces technical hurdles, US crude oil prices approaching $100/barrel again. Reuters: Chicago grain prices rise with oil, awaiting crop data guidance. Inflation expectations are reinforced again.

④ Solo BTC miner hits a probability of once in 300 years, wins $222K block reward

The Block: A solo BTC miner hit a block reward with extremely low probability, a once-in-300-years luck event, continuing to draw attention to the security and decentralization of the BTC network.

⑤ Barrons: Bullish bets on BTC at $80,000 dominate the market, Iran ceasefire risks

Barrons special warning: If the fragile Iran ceasefire breaks down, it could "crush" the crypto market. Meanwhile, CoinDesk reports: BTC whales and options traders are heavily betting on a rebound to $80,000 — supply tightening expectations dominate the market, with fierce bulls and bears.

⑥ European/African crude oil prices hit new records, supply-demand imbalance persists

Reuters: Despite ceasefire agreements, European and African crude oil prices remain at record highs. Iran states the Strait of Hormuz is open to all ships but requires coordination with authorities — "technical restrictions" like mines create uncertainty in actual navigation. OPEC+ production increases are insufficient to fill the supply gap.
