24H Hot Tokens and News Highlights | Iran Says Strait of Hormuz Currently Impassable; Iran's Supreme Leader Vows to Retaliate Against US and Israel (July 13)
- Core View: The market showed divergence on the day, with mainstream tokens on CEXs generally experiencing slight declines, while some small-cap tokens and Meme coins performed actively. Geopolitical risks (Iran situation) and regulatory dynamics (US CBDC ban taking effect, advancement of digital asset bills) constituted the market's focus.
- Key Elements:
- Among the top ten tokens by CEX trading volume, only WLD (+3.75%), ZEC (+2.53%), and TRX (+0.18%) recorded gains, while the rest saw slight declines, maintaining an overall subdued trend.
- Iran announced that the Strait of Hormuz is temporarily impassable; the US military subsequently denied its control over the strait, stating it remains open for transit. Geopolitical tensions are escalating.
- The US "21st Century Housing Development Act" has taken effect, including a clause prohibiting the Federal Reserve from issuing a CBDC. The CFTC Chairman publicly supported the "CLARITY Act," calling for legislation to clarify the regulatory framework for digital assets.
- The potential listings or IPOs of SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic could have a combined valuation exceeding $4 trillion, potentially creating the largest exit wave in US VC history.
- On-chain detective ZachXBT accused addresses associated with the LAB team of suspected market manipulation, leading to token prices dropping over 54% within 48 hours; Robinhood Chain's DEX trading volume surpassed $1 billion in its first week of launch.
