Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran wants a complete, comprehensive, and permanent end to the war, not a temporary ceasefire, Japan's Kyodo News reported. In a phone interview, Araghchi described the U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran as illegal acts of aggression without any just cause, adding that he hopes the world will unite in opposition. He stated that while several countries have already started to push for a ceasefire, Iran is only considering a solution that ends the war at once. Araghchi said Iran will not accept a temporary truce and demands a complete end to the war, which must include guarantees that Iran will not be attacked again and compensation for the damages it has suffered.

Morgan Stanley recently submitted a second amended S-1 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch a spot Bitcoin ETF under the ticker MSBT.

Ashish Birla, CEO of Evernode, a digital asset treasury (DAT) firm focused on Ripple (XRP), has stated that the cryptocurrency's price is not rising despite a surge in on-chain activity because it is not yet functioning as a large-scale liquidity bridge. He explained that the kind of sustained utility demand that would drive XRP's value would come from banks and corporations using it for working capital. While Birla acknowledged positive signs of growing institutional use, he noted that this growth is currently being overwhelmed by traffic from individual retail users. He emphasized that although millions of retail transactions look excellent for network health and adoption metrics, a sustained, large-scale price increase requires the backing of substantial capital from institutional investors.

Harvard University professor Kenneth Rogoff warned in a recent Nikkei interview that the U.S. dollar's dominance is facing a serious crisis. He pointed to an abnormal market phenomenon where the dollar's value is falling while Treasury yields are rising, suggesting that central banks are selling off their dollar assets. Rogoff argued that the deteriorating credibility of U.S. Treasurys and the compromised independence of the Fed are decisive factors. "Interest costs on U.S. debt now exceed defense spending, yet politicians are numb to the debt," he said, adding that President Donald Trump's pressure for rate cuts and the Department of Justice's investigation into Chairman Powell are undermining market confidence. He highlighted that the dollar's share of foreign exchange reserves has fallen to 56%, its lowest level since 1994, and predicted that a multi-polar currency era will emerge in the next four to five years, with the yuan, euro, and crypto assets sharing the market.
