Iran's Strait Passage Fees Drop Significantly
According to Lloyd's List, some vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz are now paying over one hundred thousand dollars for an Iranian passage permit, a significant drop from the initial $1 million to $2 million per vessel at the start of the conflict.

Glassnode Co-founder: Bitcoin Bottom Zone Appears, High-Probability Bottom Between $46K-$54K
Rafael, co-founder of Glassnode, notes that Bitcoin, currently around $62,000, has fallen nearly 50% from its all-time high and has entered a valuation cluster zone where bottoms have historically occurred. He judges the high-probability bottom zone to be between $46,000 and $54,000, with a rare "sell-off tail" below $35,000-$40,000. Notably, this correction of about 50% is significantly smaller than the 77-85% corrections of previous cycles, making the higher bottom zone more likely.
