According to a report by The New York Times, prior to the military strikes against Iran, Trump and his advisors downplayed the impact of Iran's economic war through the Strait of Hormuz, believing that oil prices would fall after a brief rise. Now, the severity of this miscalculation has become glaringly obvious. After a closed-door briefing to lawmakers on Tuesday, Connecticut Democratic Senator Christopher S. Murphy stated on social media that the administration has "no plans" for the Strait of Hormuz and "doesn't know how to safely reopen it." According to interviews conducted by the newspaper, some officials within the US government are pessimistic due to the lack of a clear strategy to end the war. However, they are cautiously avoiding expressing this directly to the president, who has repeatedly declared the military operation a complete success. (Jinshi)

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Arthur Hayes recently stated on a podcast that while he is bullish on Bitcoin in the long term (predicting it will reach $250,000 by the end of 2026), he will not buy any Bitcoin until the Federal Reserve (Fed) eases monetary policy and restarts its "printing press." Hayes pointed out that although the market generally believes war is good for Bitcoin, in reality, it is "money printing that is good for Bitcoin." He is concerned that the ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East could lead to a large-scale sell-off in US stocks and Bitcoin, and could even trigger a chain reaction of liquidations, causing Bitcoin to fall below $60,000. Currently, Bitcoin is priced at approximately $69,926, a 45% drop from its all-time high (ATH) of $126,000 reached last October. He emphasized that the best time to buy is only when the Federal Reserve reintroduces liquidity to support military spending or alleviate market pressure. (Cointelegraph)

Odaily Planet Daily reports that cryptocurrency trading platform Gate has announced the official launch of Skills Hub, part of its Gate for AI product matrix. This feature allows users and developers to configure trading strategy modules (Skills) for their AI Agents without writing code, enabling one-click access to Gate's spot, perpetual contract, and market data capabilities. This upgrades AI from simply "analyzing" to a fully capable intelligent trading assistant that can make judgments and execute trades. Simultaneously, it helps users perform market scanning, position sizing assessments, arbitrage opportunity identification, and risk analysis, forming a complete trading chain of "research—judgment—execution—monitoring." Skills Hub has a wide range of use cases; for example, it can monitor market conditions and set stop-loss orders, automatically executing corresponding strategies when abnormal funding rates are detected. Users can also have AI analyze position sizing timing, obtain reports, and confirm orders. Compared to existing industry solutions, Skills Hub's advantage lies in its support for both spot and perpetual contract trading capabilities, its ability to perform multi-dimensional market analysis, and its completion of the "analysis—judgment—order placement" closed loop, building institutional-level trading capabilities. By packaging market analysis, strategy evaluation, and risk modeling capabilities into modular tools, Skills Hub works in synergy with MCP's core capabilities to form a complete AI capability system that is "usable and smarter".
