There’s a lot going on tonight, so let’s focus on the two biggest stories.

$XRP just gave everyone a nasty scare: a decade-old bug hidden in the ledger could theoretically have created billions of XRP out of thin air. The team rushed out a patch and said it had never been exploited. The thought of something like this “almost appearing from nothing” is enough to send a chill down your spine. Technically, the issue was handled promptly, but the damage to confidence is hard to gauge.

$BNB is unsettling too. Bloomberg reports that the Justice Department is investigating whether Binance violated its 2023 settlement agreement, in a case involving Iran sanctions and $61 million. No wrongdoing has been alleged so far, but the words “possible renewed criminal prosecution” are enough to keep the market digesting this for a while.

$SOL is genuinely good news: the number of on-chain tokenized stock wallets has topped 1 million, with monthly trading volume reaching $4.4 billion. Moving stocks on-chain has a lot more substance than most altcoin narratives.

The macro picture is even messier: Trump and Putin struck a diesel deal, a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico shut down 72% of crude production, and tanker attacks in the Strait of Hormuz hit a wartime high. With oil prices throwing a wrench into the works, don’t expect risk assets to get any peace.

Keep a close eye on the broader market at the U.S. open. Geopolitical tensions and regulatory uncertainty are both in play, so volatility is likely to be high tonight.
