After a day of more fluctuations prompted by the quickly developing situation in the Middle East, bitcoin’s price aimed at $70,000 minutes ago as Trump addressed the war and the Strait of Hormuz.

His words sent shockwaves through other financial fields as well, especially with oil, as the CFDs on WTI Crude Oil plunged to under $90 per barrel after skyrocketing to $120 earlier today.

The POTUS’s indication that the war is pretty much completed comes in a rather intriguing time, as Iran just chose a new Supreme Leader – Mojtaba Khamenei, who is the son of the former. Trump repeatedly outlined that he is not happy with the choice, calling it a big mistake.

At the same time, reports continue to emerge that several countries in the region, including the UAE and Turkey, keep intercepting more drones and missiles from Iran.

While also addressing the situation in the Middle East, President Trump reportedly added that the US is mulling taking over the Strait of Hormuz, which has been essentially closed for days, thus reducing the amount of transported goods, mostly oil.

As mentioned above, oil prices dumped again following Trump’s latest remarks after reaching a multi-year peak this morning. Gold and the S&P 500 went on a run, with the former tapping $5,140/oz, while the latter climbed above 6,800.

Bitcoin quickly jumped from $68,000 to $69,600 (on Bitstamp) but was stopped there and now trades around $69,000 again. Ethereum has jumped past $2,000, while SOL is above $85.

Coinbase Issues Cryptocurrency Call to US Justice Department: “Solve Urgent Problems!”

Coinbase Issues Cryptocurrency Call to US Justice Department: “Solve Urgent Problems!”

The post Coinbase Issues Cryptocurrency Call to US Justice Department: “Solve Urgent Problems!” appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the United States, stated that there should be uniform cryptocurrency regulation in the country. At this point, Coinbase sent a letter to the US Department of Justice requesting that federal regulators prevent state regulations from conflicting with national crypto policies and ensure uniform regulatory clarity. Coinbase’s request comes after the state of Oregon filed a lawsuit against Coinbase for unregistered securities, despite the SEC withdrawing its lawsuit against the cryptocurrency exchange. Coinbase states that although the country’s top regulator, the SEC, withdrew its lawsuit, states are filing lawsuits in defiance of the SEC’s decision. In the letter, addressed by Coinbase Legal Counsel Paul Grewal, he stated: “Despite the Trump administration’s positive regulatory efforts, crypto companies are being negatively impacted by states’ flawed interpretations of securities laws and their divergent actions. If Oregon can sue us for services that are legal under federal law, we have a problem. It has long been clear that the current patchwork of state laws is not only inefficient, but also slows innovation and harms consumers. At this point, the Justice Department should take steps to address the pressing issues by calling on Congress to step in and enact comprehensive and uniform regulations.” Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield filed a lawsuit against Coinbase last April, alleging that Coinbase was promoting the sale of unregistered cryptocurrencies to individuals in Oregon. *This is not investment advice.
