Israel’s Finance Ministry has put a weekly price tag on the country’s widening war with Iran, estimating that the economy could take a hit of more than 9 billion shekels (equivalent to $2.93 billion) a week if emergency limits on activity remain in place.

Ripple is sharpening its argument that it can help institutions move value across traditional rails, stablecoins, and blockchain networks.
On March 2, DTCC’s National Securities Clearing Corporation updated its MPID directory to add Ripple-owned “Hidden Road Partners CIV US LLC” for its first trade. The entry appears under the OTC column.

Crypto promised diversification beyond Bitcoin. For years, the pitch was simple: spread risk across blockchains, decentralized applications, and layer-1 protocols.
In practice, that diversification often collapsed when Bitcoin stumbled. Ethereum, Solana, and other major altcoins routinely fell harder than BTC during drawdowns, leaving portfolios concentrated on the same directional bet, just with...
Most people only see IPOs after the price resets at the open. Institutional investors and select clients receive allocations at the offering price, while everyone else waits for the exchange to start trading and buys at the market price.
The gap between those two prices, the “IPO pop,” can be substantial.
Circle's IPO last year was priced at $31 and opened at $69, then closed at $83.23,...
Bitcoin slid to $63,030 after US-Israel strikes on Iran triggered a risk-off cascade across markets. From there, BTC rallied to $74,000 intraday on Mar. 4, a roughly 17% rebound.
As of press time, Bitcoin trades at $73,613, up 7.7% in the past 24 hours. The move recaptured much of the selloff, but whether it holds depends on a handful of levels and liquidity signals that on-chain data identifies...
Kraken has cleared a regulatory hurdle that crypto firms have chased for years: direct access to the Federal Reserve’s core payments infrastructure.

The US...

Bitcoin rose above $70,000 today for the first time since early February, extending a rebound that is starting to look less like a brief relief rally and more like a market trying to reverse momentum after months of heavy selling.
CryptoSlate data showed Bitcoin gaining over 7% on the day, lifting the flagship digital asset to its highest level in almost a month. The move came amid renewed...
Tether has landed a Big Four accounting firm’s name on a reserve report tied to its US strategy.

The South Korean stock market (KOSPI) closed near 5,094 after falling 12.06% in a single session today.
The index had already fallen 7.24% the prior session, taking the two-day slide to roughly 18.4% on a compounded basis. South Korean equities did not fall alone, but the magnitude set Korea apart in a global risk-off window.
