Iran droht Ländern, die auf der Seite der USA stehen
Mohsen Rezaei sagte, Teheran werde zuerst versuchen, die Nachbarn davon zu überzeugen, sich dem US-Druck nicht anzuschließen Der Iran hat gedroht, die Interessen derjenigen Länder anzugreifen, die sich der US-Wirtschaftskampagne gegen Teheran anschließen. Der Sekretär des Obersten Nationalen Sicherheitsrats des Iran, Mohsen Rezaei, sagte, dass Teheran, falls die Sanktionen aufrechterhalten werden, die Ölexporte nicht nur durch die bereits geschlossene Straße von Hormus blockieren, sondern im Allgemeinen aus dem gesamten Persischen Golf heraus blockieren könne. Das berichtet Press TV. Laut Rezaei strebt Teheran keine Ausweitung des Krieges an, betrachtet jedoch die Beteiligung anderer Staaten am wirtschaftlichen Druck der Vereinigten Staaten als direkte Bedrohung für seine eigenen Interessen. Er forderte die Nachbarländer und andere Länder der Welt auf, sich nicht der amerikanischen Wirtschaftskampagne gegen den Iran anzuschließen.

Hungary repeals strict rules on crypto transactions The Hungarian parliament has repealed special requirements for verification of cryptocurrency transactions that were in force at the national level. The law was passed on July 31 and came into force on August 7.
According to Bitcoin.com, the previous rules provided for criminal liability for transactions with crypto assets without the necessary validation. In certain circumstances, the penalty could reach eight years in prison.
The abandonment of these norms should bring Hungarian legislation into line with the European MiCA regulation, which became fully operational on July 1. Lawyers pointed out that the additional Hungarian requirements duplicated the provisions of pan-European legislation and created obstacles for crypto companies to operate in the EU single market. #Hungary #crypto #EU
There is a high probability that Solana (SOL) will not only return, but also consolidate above the $100 mark. Crypto analysts consider the $100 level as a key psychological resistance and a point of local accumulation. Key growth factors: Network fundamentals: Total value locked (TVL) in the Solana DeFi sector exceeds $1.3 billion, and speed and low fees support high user activity. Institutional interest: Growing futures trading volume and the potential for the release of spot Solana-ETFs in the future create a strong inflow of capital. General market condition: The price of SOL is closely correlated with Bitcoin and the general bullish trend of the cryptocurrency market. Main risks: Technical failures or network scalability issues. Increasing regulatory pressure on altcoins. General macroeconomic factors (US Federal Reserve interest rate changes). Considering the risks and conducting your own analysis (DYOR) is mandatory for every investor before making any financial decisions.
