Odaily reported that both WTI and Brent crude fell over 2% on Wednesday, as U.S. President Donald Trump once again claimed that the war with Iran would soon end. However, due to ongoing supply disruptions in the Middle East, investors remain cautious about the outcome of the peace talks. Emril Jamil, Senior Oil Research Analyst at London Stock Exchange Group, said that benchmark oil prices have softened on the possibility of a deal as the market weighs geopolitical risks. But even if a deal is reached, there may still be some upside for oil prices, as supply is unlikely to return to pre-war levels immediately. Toshitaka Tazawa, an analyst at Fujitomi Securities, said that with the U.S. stance changing almost daily, investors are closely watching whether the U.S. and Iran can truly find common ground and reach a peace agreement. Given the possibility that the U.S. may strike Iran again, and that even if a peace deal is reached, crude oil supply will not quickly return to pre-war levels, oil prices may remain elevated.

Odaily reports that according to Binance Research, illicit cryptocurrency transaction volume accounts for less than 1% of total transaction volume. Over $75 billion in illicit cryptocurrencies is currently stranded on-chain. Binance's research report indicates that as money laundering success rates decline, this figure is expected to grow by 28% by 2025. The vast majority of illicit cryptocurrencies are held in downstream addresses, typically one or two hops away from the main chain, but remain traceable. Mixers have an upper daily processing limit of approximately $10 million—this method is nearly ineffective against mechanisms such as KYC, KYT, stablecoin freezes, and permanent on-chain records. Despite the significant absolute volume of illicit transactions, it still accounts for less than 1% of total transaction volume.

Odaily星球日报讯 Wintermute 最新报告称，全球市场叙事已由“何时降息”迅速转向“是否需要加息”，受通胀压力回升及宏观数据偏热影响，加密市场动能降温。比特币自短暂升破 83000 美元后回落，主要山寨币周内普遍录得两位数跌幅。报告指出，此轮上涨主要由永续期货市场空头挤压驱动，而非现货买盘支撑；同期比特币衍生品未平仓合约一个月增加 100 亿美元至 580 亿美元，现货成交量却降至两年低点。尽管现货 ETF 近期净流入 6.23 亿美元、交易所比特币储备降至 7 年低位，但仍不足以对冲短期宏观风险。（Finance Feeds）
