South Korean police asked Binance to freeze about 470 million KRW worth of Solana tokens stolen from Upbit. But Binance only locked down 17%, around 80 million KRW, after a 15-hour delay, saying they needed more verification. The partial freeze has sparked criticism amid the ongoing probe into the massive hack. This highlights tensions between global exchanges and local authorities in crypto crime responses, as Upbit pushes to recover the rest.

Even so, U.S. shares have trailed many overseas benchmarks in 2025 for dollar-based investors. Kaveh said investors are struggling to price the tariff path because the effects can cut two ways: either squeeze company margins or get passed through to consumers and lift inflation. “If you have a situation where tariffs are going to push prices up, and the weaker dollar potentially can increase inflation, that would cause the Fed much more of a challenge to cut rates,” he added.
