    Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Plan Delayed by Treasury-Commerce Dispute

    The Trump administration’s plan to create a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve has been delayed by disagreements between the Treasury and Commerce departments over which agency should oversee it.

The delay matters because it postpones implementation of a key digital asset initiative. The Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel is working with both agencies as the White House evaluates the final structure for the reserve and a separate Digital Asset Stockpile.

    Oil Prices Today Crash Below $68.50

    U.S. oil prices fell below $68.50 per barrel for the first time in four months, returning to levels seen before tensions between the U.S. and Iran escalated. The decline has effectively erased the geopolitical risk premium that had lifted prices during the conflict. Lower oil prices could help ease inflation by reducing energy and transportation costs, potentially giving the Federal Reserve more flexibility on interest rates if broader inflation continues to cool.

    KOSPI Index Falls as Samsung and SK Hynix Lead Semiconductor Selloff

Market participants will watch whether institutional allocations continue to grow, particularly as Bitcoin’s market value remains well below gold’s roughly $27 trillion market capitalization.
