US targets Irans crypto sector, cites over $100M in oil-linked payments

The US Treasury has expanded its Iran sanctions framework to cover the countrys digital asset sector, citing more than $100 million in crypto payments allegedly used to facilitate Iranian oil sales.　　On Monday, the Treasury said the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) issued sectoral sanctions determinations covering digital assets, technology, gold, aviation and shipping. The agency also sanctioned nearly 60 entities, individuals and vessels across nuclear, missile, cyber and oil networks.　　The digital asset determination allows OFAC to sanction foreign individuals and companies that operate in or provide services supporting Irans digital asset sector. The Treasury said Iran increasingly uses crypto as a “tool of choice for sanctions evasion,” including for transactions linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and government insiders.　　It alleged that UAE-based Ukrainian broker Ivan Obukhov processed over $100 million in crypto payments since 2023 to facilitate oil sales on behalf of the IRGCs Quds Force. OFAC sanctioned Obukhov and his UAE-based company, Foscom FZE.　　US widens crypto enforcement against Iran　　The sector-wide measure follows a series of US actions against named crypto exchanges and wallets linked to Iran. In January, OFAC sanctioned UK-registered Zedcex and Zedxion, marking its first Iran-related designations of digital asset exchanges.　　On June 3, the

Galaxy puts Coldcard hack losses at 1,789 BTC, with 87% unmoved

The vast majority of Bitcoin stolen in the Coldcard hack remains unmoved, according to researchers tracking one of the largest hardware wallet exploits.　　Galaxy Research has attributed the theft of 1,789.28 Bitcoin from 8,865 addresses to the Coldcard hack, according to a Monday X post by Alex Thorn, Galaxys head of research. The funds were worth $114.7 million at the time of theft.　　Thorn said attackers have not spent 1,561 Bitcoin, or 87.3% of the attributed losses. The funds remain in attacker-controlled collection or holding addresses, including all Bitcoin stolen during the first three attack waves.　　Some Bitcoin stolen in later attacks has since moved through CoinJoin transactions, peel chains and other obfuscation methods, Thorn added.Source: Alex Thorn　　The latest tally draws partly on 221 victim reports covering 790.72 Bitcoin in losses, or 44.2% of the total Galaxy attributed to the hack. The median loss per report was 1.04272 Bitcoin, meaning more than half of the reported cases involved losses exceeding 1 Bitcoin.　　The largest stolen holdings remain visible onchain in attacker-controlled addresses. Galaxy has shared the identified attacker addresses with crypto exchanges, compliance companies and law enforcement in hopes that the funds can be frozen if they reach centralized intermediaries.

Thailand moves closer to Bitcoin, Ether ETFs with draft rules

Thailands Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has advanced its framework for locally listed spot Bitcoin and Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) from proposed principles to draft regulations while revising its approach to foreign digital asset custodians.　　The regulator said Monday it is seeking feedback on two consultation papers. One contains draft regulations for Thai crypto ETFs, while the other proposes principles governing the qualifications of foreign digital asset custodians engaged by mutual and private funds investing in digital assets.　　During the initial stage, asset managers could establish passive ETFs tracking Bitcoin (BTC) or Ether (ETH), the only two eligible crypto assets.　　The draft regulations follow an April consultation on the frameworks broader principles. The SEC said most respondents supported the framework but provided feedback on custody arrangements, prompting the regulator to revise its proposed approach.　　The framework forms part of Thailands ambition to become a global digital asset hub for institutions.　　Bitcoin and Ether ETFs would trade on Thai stock exchange　　Under the proposed rules, Bitcoin and Ether ETFs would trade exclusively on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET). Each ETF would track a single crypto asset and would need to maintain average net exposure of at least 80% of its net asset value to that asset

Thailand advances spot Bitcoin and Ether ETF rules with 80% exposure floor

Thailand has moved its planned spot Bitcoin and Ether exchange-traded fund framework into the draft regulation stage, setting an 80% minimum exposure requirement while keeping domestic digital asset custodians as the primary custody option.　　Thailands Securities and Exchange Commission said on Aug. 24 that it had opened two public consultations covering draft rules for locally established crypto ETFs and revised qualification standards for foreign digital asset custodians serving mutual and private funds.　　The latest proposal advances a framework first put out for public comment in April, when the regulator sought views on the main principles governing crypto ETFs, investment management and custody. Most respondents supported the plan, according to the SEC, although feedback on custody arrangements led officials to revise part of the original approach.　　During the first stage, asset management companies would be allowed to establish passive ETFs tracking only Bitcoin or Ether. Each fund would follow a single cryptocurrency, limiting the initial framework to the two assets the regulator currently considers sufficiently liquid and widely accepted for the product.　　The SEC will accept comments on both consultation papers until Sept. 20 before proceeding with the regulatory process.　　Thailand crypto ETFs would need at least 80% exposure　　Under the draft rules, locally established crypto ETFs

Solana (SOL) Overtakes XRP With $20 Million Upside on ETF Market

Solana has significantly outperformed XRP on the ETF market. Daily inflows of about $20 million, according to the most recent fund-flow data, certainly reflect the growing demand among institutional investors.　　Two breakthrough, but different magnitude　　As both assets attempt significant technical breakouts, the difference between them is certainly growing. In contrast to XRP, which only recorded $13.82 million in one-day net inflows, Solana products recorded roughly $33.49 million, according to the ETF data provided.　　XRP/USDT Chart by TradingView　　For the session, that puts SOL ahead by about $19.67 million. However, the longer-term data paint a more nuanced picture. Solana has about $1.22 billion in cumulative net inflows, whereas XRP ETFs have amassed about $1.57 billion.　　Additionally, compared to Solanas $1.21 billion in ETF net assets, XRP has about $1.44 billion. Consequently, rather than winning the entire ETF race, Solana is winning the most recent round. Nevertheless, given SOLs price movement, current demand seems especially pertinent. Solana broke through its major moving averages and shot up from the mid-$70 range to about $100.　　Most significantly, SOL is currently trying to establish itself above the psychologically significant $100 threshold after clearing the long-term average at $89.45. During the breakout, volume increased significantly, lending the move more legitimacy.　　Is Solana

In briefOFAC has issued a sectoral determination covering digital assets, letting it sanction any person worldwide who operates in that part of Irans economy.It is one of five determinations issued at once, and builds on earlier ones covering Irans financial and petroleum sectors.Among nearly 60 designations, one shadow fleet broker is accused of processing more than $100 million in crypto payments for the IRGCs Qods Force.　　The U.S. Treasury has given itself the power to sanction anyone in the world operating in Irans digital asset sector, part of a campaign announced Monday that Secretary Scott Bessent has dubbed Economic D-Day.　　The Office of Foreign Assets Control issued five sectoral determinations under Executive Order 13902, covering digital assets, technology, gold, aviation and shipping.

Saylor argues Bitcoin can absorb Wall Street without changing

None of these layers necessitate staking, changes in the protocol, or any new currency imitating Bitcoin. Essentially, they work under known capital market schemes that have already been used for mortgages, municipal bonds, and preferred stocks.　　“Bitcoin remains Bitcoin. The world builds on top.”　　— Michael Saylor, Bitcoin, Digital Credit, and Digital Money, June 16, 2026　　Its a distinction that is worth noting. A bond is different from the building it finances, just the same way as a preferred security is different from the underlying equity. Saylor uses the same principle to claim that a Bitcoin-backed income product can be less volatile than BTC since a “junior equity” layer would absorb more risk. According to Strategy, the common stock of the company (MSTR) is referred to as a “junior tranche”.　　The plumbing shows up in the SEC filing　　This goes beyond theory. Strategy informed on June 29, 2026, that its board had approved a “Digital Credit Capital Framework,” which was later explained in its SEC filing. This framework is made up of five components:ComponentWhat Strategy authorized or changedUSD Reserve policyMaintain a minimum reserve equal to at least 12 months of expected preferred-stock dividends and interest obligations.STRC dividend policyRevise the variable dividend policy for STRC, including

Former Banker Says the Real AI Trade Isn't Chips, It's Electricity: 4 Stocks to Watch

Analyst and former banker Felix Prehn published a thread on August 24 arguing that most retail investors missed the 500% to 1,000% gains already seen in Palantir, Intel, and Seagate.　　He now points to four companies sitting at what he calls the true bottleneck of artificial intelligence: electricity.　　This article is not financial advice. Stock prices are volatile, past performance does not guarantee future results, and readers should conduct their own research or consult a licensed advisor before making any investment decision.　　Why Power Companies Became the New AI Trade　　Prehns thesis centers on a structural shortage rather than a speculative narrative. Big Tech companies are signing long-term contracts to secure nuclear and other generation capacity, even as hundreds of billions of dollars pour into chips and data center construction.　　If you missed Palantir at $20, Intel at $45 or Seagate at $95, youre not alone.　　Each stock ran 500-1000% in the next 12 months, and most retail investors missed it.　　I went hunting for the next stocks that could go on a similar run as these, and came across these 4:????　　— Felix Prehn ????

GBP/USD holds near highs: Focus turns to key events later this week

GBP/USD is holding at 1.3627 on Tuesday. In the final full week of August, the pair remains near its highest level since mid-February. Sterling is being supported by dollar weakness following the US Treasurys unexpected decision to at least double its purchases of long-term government bonds.　　Investors are also awaiting details of new sanctions against Iran. The highlight of the week will be Fed Chair Kevin Warshs speech at Jackson Hole on Friday, which could shape expectations for the future trajectory of US interest rates.　　In the UK, money markets continue to price in one Bank of England rate hike before year-end and a further 25-basis-point move by early 2027. July inflation accelerated to 2.9% – the highest since March – while core inflation came in above expectations at 2.6%.　　Further support for the pound is coming from strong domestic data: PMIs point to a pick-up in business activity, while consumer confidence climbed to a two-year high in August. At the same time, high inflation remains the key risk, potentially fuelled by a protracted conflict with Iran and elevated energy prices.　　Technical analysis　　On the H4 GBP/USD chart, the market has nearly reached the local upside target at 1.3672 and is forming a narrow consolidation
