24H Hot Coins & News Headlines｜Iran Says Hormuz Strait Currently Impassable; Iran's Supreme Leader Vows Retaliation Against US and Israel (July 13)
- Key Insight: The market showed divergence on the day. Major CEX tokens generally experienced slight declines, while some small-cap tokens and Meme coins performed actively. Geopolitical risks (Iran situation) and regulatory developments (US CBDC ban taking effect, digital asset bill progressing) constituted the market's key focal points.
- Key Elements:
- Among the top ten tokens by CEX trading volume, only WLD (+3.75%), ZEC (+2.53%), and TRX (+0.18%) rose, while the rest saw minor declines, indicating an overall flat trend.
- Iran announced the temporary closure of the Strait of Hormuz to passage, but the US military subsequently denied Iran's control, stating the strait remains open; geopolitical tensions have escalated.
- The US "21st Century Housing Development Act" has taken effect, including a provision prohibiting the Fed from issuing a CBDC. The CFTC Chairman publicly supported the "CLARITY Act," calling for legislation to clarify the digital asset regulatory framework.
- The potential IPOs of SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic could have a combined valuation exceeding $4 trillion, possibly creating the largest exit wave in US VC history.
- On-chain sleuth ZachXBT accused addresses linked to the LAB project team of market manipulation, causing the token's price to drop over 54% in 48 hours. Robinhood Chain's DEX trading volume surpassed $1 billion in its first week.
