Dalam pernyataan publik yang mencolok, CEO Coinbase Brian Armstrong mengungkapkan bahwa bank-bank besar AS sedang aktif berusaha untuk merusak agenda pro-kripto Presiden. Menurut Armstrong, lembaga keuangan tradisional sedang melawan di balik layar saat inovasi blockchain semakin cepat di seluruh sistem keuangan AS.

Ini penting jauh melampaui aksi harga jangka pendek.

Kripto tidak lagi hanya tentang grafik atau spekulasi — ini tentang inovasi, kebebasan finansial, dan daya saing global. Armstrong menekankan bahwa aset digital mewakili kesempatan sekali dalam satu generasi bagi Amerika Serikat untuk mempertahankan kepemimpinannya dalam keuangan global. Namun, alih-alih menerima pergeseran itu, bank-bank warisan tampaknya fokus pada perlindungan sistem yang ketinggalan zaman yang bergantung pada perantara, biaya tinggi, dan kontrol terpusat.

Ini menandakan pergeseran signifikan di papan catur Timur Tengah.
Laporan menunjukkan bahwa Arab Saudi telah secara resmi memberitahukan Washington dan Teheran bahwa pesawat militer AS tidak akan diizinkan menggunakan ruang udara atau wilayah Saudi untuk serangan terhadap Iran. Ini lebih dari sekadar sinyal diplomatik — ini memperkenalkan hambatan strategis besar untuk setiap potensi operasi militer.
✈️ Ruang Udara = Leverage Strategis
Dengan menutup langitnya, Riyadh segera meningkatkan biaya, kompleksitas, dan risiko dari setiap aksi kinetik langsung. Setiap misi yang menargetkan Iran sekarang menjadi lebih lama, lebih terbuka, dan secara operasional jauh lebih berbahaya.

Bitcoin (BTC) started the week on a positive note, briefly climbing above the $92,000 level during early Monday trading as optimism returned to the broader crypto market. The flagship cryptocurrency reached an intraday high of $92,406 before losing momentum and pulling back to around $90,600 at the time of writing.
Despite the retracement, BTC remains marginally higher over the past 24 hours. However, rising selling pressure suggests the price could slip into negative territory if bullish momentum fails to recover. With key inflation data on the horizon, markets remain cautious, and volatility is picking up across risk assets.
At the same time, macro uncertainty is intensifying as tensions between the Federal Reserve and the White House escalate—an unusual development that markets are watching closely.

Report Finds Government Pressure Behind Most Debanking Cases
A recent report from the Cato Institute suggests that the majority of debanking cases in the United States stem from government pressure rather than independent decisions by financial institutions. This finding challenges the popular narrative that account closures are primarily driven by political or religious bias within banks.
According to the report, debanking generally falls into three categories. The first is political or religious debanking, where accounts are closed due to the beliefs or affiliations of the account holder. The second is operational debanking, which occurs for standard business or risk-management reasons. The third—and most prevalent, according to Cato—is government debanking, where federal authorities pressure banks to sever ties with certain customers.
Cato Institute analyst Nicholas Anthony noted that public records reveal multiple instances in which government officials intervened, directly or indirectly, to influence how banks manage customer relationships. Unsurprisingly, crypto firms feature prominently in the report. Industry executives have repeatedly highlighted difficulties in accessing banking services, fueling speculation that informal regulatory pressure has played a significant role.

Trump–Powell Feud Escalates as DOJ Probe Emerges
In a major escalation that has raised concerns over the Federal Reserve’s independence, Fed Chair Jerome Powell confirmed that the US Department of Justice has served the central bank with grand jury subpoenas and threatened potential criminal charges.
In a video statement released on Sunday, Powell said federal prosecutors are investigating his June Senate testimony related to the $2.5 billion renovation of the Fed’s headquarters. He described the probe as politically motivated, arguing that it stems from dissatisfaction over interest rates remaining higher than President Donald Trump would prefer.
According to Powell, the threat of criminal action is a consequence of the Fed setting monetary policy based on its mandate rather than political pressure. President Trump, however, downplayed the investigation, claiming he had no knowledge of it—while simultaneously criticizing Powell’s leadership and the cost overruns tied to the renovation project.
The unprecedented nature of the situation has injected fresh uncertainty into financial markets, particularly for risk assets sensitive to political interference in monetary policy.

Tether Freezes $182M USDT Across Tron Wallets
Tether has frozen approximately $182 million worth of USDT across five Tron-based wallets within the past 24 hours. The wallets reportedly hold balances ranging between $12 million and $50 million each. While the company has not disclosed the specific reasons behind the freeze, the move has drawn significant attention.
One possible explanation is suspected illicit activity. The action follows recent Chainalysis data indicating that stablecoins accounted for 84% of all illicit crypto transaction volume by the end of 2025. Separate data from AMLBot shows that Tether froze roughly $3.3 billion in assets between 2023 and 2025, blacklisting more than 7,200 wallets during that period.

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Analysis
Bitcoin opened the week with bullish momentum, pushing to an intraday high of $92,406 early Monday. However, buying strength faded as sellers regained control, dragging the price back toward the $90,400–$90,600 range. Momentum remains fragile, and BTC is marginally lower during the ongoing session.
Market sentiment weakened as the Trump–Powell conflict intensified, following reports that the DOJ had issued subpoenas to the Federal Reserve and threatened a criminal indictment. Powell’s public remarks, in which he described the action as politically motivated, added another layer of uncertainty to an already tense macro environment.
While political instability typically weighs on risk assets, some analysts believe Bitcoin could ultimately benefit from the situation. According to Bitunix analysts, questioning the credibility of the dollar and the independence of central banks tends to strengthen the narrative around decentralized assets.
They noted that if political interference in monetary policy becomes structural rather than temporary, Bitcoin’s role as a non-sovereign risk asset could become increasingly attractive. Bitcoin analyst Will Clemente echoed this view, arguing that the current environment aligns closely with Bitcoin’s original purpose—particularly as geopolitical risks rise, metals rally, and sovereigns diversify reserves.
Data from Matrixport also points to a gradual improvement in crypto investor sentiment. The platform highlighted that the moving average of its Greed & Fear Index is forming a base, a condition that has historically coincided with Bitcoin entering a bottoming phase.
From a technical perspective, BTC ended last weekend up 0.99% at $91,494 before surging 2.60% on Monday to reclaim the $93,000 level and peak near $93,870. Selling pressure returned midweek, with BTC dropping nearly 3% on Wednesday and briefly dipping to $89,200 on Thursday before stabilizing. Price action remained mixed over the weekend, with BTC now consolidating below key resistance as traders await the next macro catalyst.
