Trump trades between 10-day truce and massive war with Iran
Qatar, Egypt, Pakistan and other mediators urged the United States and Iran to initiate military operations for ten days. During this hour, the parties can resume navigation through the Hormuz channel and try to understand the long-term rules for the passage of ships.
The Trump administration is reviewing the proposal and has urged Israel not to close its diplomatic window. Recently, the United States transferred dozens of civilians and refueling pilots to the region, preparing for a possible large-scale military campaign with Israel.
Neither Washington nor Tehran have yet accepted the truce. According to Axios, Trump may continue to strike for several more days in response to the death of the American military, first seriously considering the proposal of the mediators.

Most people who hold Bitcoin for years just sit on a cold wallet and wait. They do nothing. I think it’s fine, because gold also isn’t being spun every day. I understand this logic too. When an asset seems valuable, you don’t really feel like moving it again and again. But somehow things turn out strange.🤔 The asset sits as dead weight, while so much is already being built around it. I don’t want to sell. And we definitely don’t want to give up control. And then Babylon appears. You stake your BTC, and it goes nowhere. It stays on Bitcoin, under your keys. It simply helps secure other networks and brings in a little something as well. This isn’t about suddenly becoming a deFAI/DeFi. Rather, what’s being said is that you can remain a HODLer and at the same time step out of total passivity a bit. A small step. But it’s exactly these kinds of steps over time that change how you even look at your Bitcoin.@BabylonLabs_io #baby $BABY
The US Senate has less than two weeks to pass the CLARITY bill before the start of the August recess of Congress. On July 22, 2026, Republicans first released the full text of the document, which is intended to establish comprehensive rules for the cryptocurrency market. Grayscale emphasized that if the document is not approved before the August recess, its further consideration may be complicated by political struggle ahead of the US midterm elections.
CLARITY Act approaches a decisive stage The company noted that the bill enjoys bipartisan support and is designed to create a single regulatory framework for cryptocurrency capital markets.
One of the main controversial issues remains the so-called ethics provisions, which limit the ability of government officials to issue or promote digital assets while in office. The Republican version of the document already contains these rules, but Democrats insist on their revision.
At the same time, most other provisions of the bill do not cause significant controversy. In particular, the document provides for:
protection of developers of non-custodial software, which is important for the development of the DeFi sector; strict requirements for KYC/AML procedures; additional mechanisms for combating illegal financial transactions. Grayscale emphasized that the CLARITY Act will create “a strong legal framework for software developers, token issuers, investors and other market participants,” which, in turn, will help accelerate the spread of public blockchain technology.
In addition, analysts noted that even in the event of a delay in the adoption of the CLARITY Act, the development of public blockchains will continue thanks to such trends as stablecoins and asset tokenization. However, without the law, market participants will have to continue to rely mainly on regulatory clarifications rather than long-term legislative certainty.
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 The US and Saudi Arabia have signed a civil nuclear cooperation agreement, Reuters reports.
The agreement allows Riyadh to build nuclear reactors using US technology, as well as to enrich uranium and reprocess nuclear waste.
According to Reuters, the document has already been signed by US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright and Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman.
The agreement must now be reviewed by the US Congress. It will enter into force unless lawmakers block it within 90 days of the legislative session. Meanwhile, some nuclear non-proliferation experts have expressed concern, fearing the deal could increase the risk of a nuclear arms race in the Middle East.
