Iran says it still controls the Strait of Hormuz and is setting conditions for reopening the strategic waterway.
Iranian officials say reopening could depend on an end to the war, removal of sanctions and other demands from Tehran. Iran has also discussed a possible navigation corridor with Oman.
Meanwhile, Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has called on Muslim countries—particularly Gulf states—to unite against what he describes as their common enemies.
⚠️ Why markets should care: The Strait of Hormuz is a critical global energy route. Continued disruption could keep pressure on oil prices, inflation and global risk assets — including crypto. The International Maritime Organization says the situation remains rapidly evolving and continues to monitor shipping and seafarer safety.
The next major catalyst: Will Hormuz reopen, or will tensions escalate further? 👀
🇮🇷 IRAN ARMY CHIEF: “ENEMY FAILED TO ACHIEVE ITS GOALS”
Iranian Army Commander Major General Amir Hatami says the opposing side failed to achieve its strategic objectives during the recent wars, despite attempts to damage Iran’s missile and drone capabilities.
According to Iran’s official news agency IRNA, Hatami said Iran’s Armed Forces continued launching missiles and drones until the final moments of the conflict and claimed Iranian air defenses also damaged enemy aircraft and strategic equipment.
🔥 Hatami’s key message:
“The enemy failed to achieve any of its objectives.”
He argued that under military logic, an aggressor achieves victory by accomplishing its objectives; therefore, Iran considers preventing those objectives a defensive victory.
⚠️ Important: These are claims from Iran’s military leadership and represent Tehran’s official position. Battlefield damage, losses and the overall strategic outcome remain independently disputed/not fully verified. $BTC $GOOGL.US $SPACE
🚨🇺🇸 HISTORIC MOVE FROM CALIFORNIA: POLITICAL MEME COINS UNDER PRESSURE
California lawmakers have made a major move targeting political meme coins. 🪙⚠️
📌 AB 2409 • Senate passed: 40–0 • Assembly passed: 78–0 • Would restrict public officials from issuing meme coins • Would also restrict qualifying politician-linked meme coins from being listed for California residents • Key restrictions are scheduled to take effect in 2027
This could become a major regulatory turning point for political meme coins and the wider crypto market. 👀
🔥 Political tokens are entering a completely different regulatory era.
ZKC has already pumped +71% and printed a 0.0734 high. Right now price is around 0.0667, so the smart move is to WAIT FOR THE RETEST rather than entering after the vertical candle.
📌 BULLISH PLAN: 🟢 Retest support successfully 🟢 4H bullish confirmation candle closes 🟢 Volume returns on the bounce ➡️ Then LONG 🚀
🚀 0x PROTOCOL ($ZRX ) — THE ONCHAIN LIQUIDITY POWERHOUSE
The 0x Protocol ($ZRX ) is evolving far beyond a simple DEX infrastructure project.
0x provides onchain routing infrastructure that aggregates liquidity across 150+ sources, helping applications find efficient execution across multiple blockchain ecosystems.
🔥 Why 0x matters: • 💧 150+ liquidity sources • ⛓️ Multi-chain trading infrastructure • ⚡ Smart order routing for better execution • 🌉 Cross-chain swap infrastructure • ⛽ Gasless transaction support • 🏗️ Used by major Web3 applications
And the ecosystem is still expanding.
📢 Latest official development: 0x announced support for Ondo tokenized stocks on August 26, 2026, bringing aggregated liquidity to tokenized U.S. equities.
Official 0x data currently highlights 211M+ transactions and $180B+ volume processed through its infrastructure.
💎 THE BIG PICTURE
As more assets move onchain, liquidity becomes increasingly fragmented across chains and protocols.
0x is positioning itself as the routing layer connecting that fragmented liquidity.
$ZRX is definitely a token worth keeping on the radar. 👀🔥
🐋 Jiang Zhuoer SOLD 50% of his ETH spot position during the market decline.
Meanwhile, ETH spot ETFs still recorded around $102M in inflows, showing that institutional demand hasn't completely disappeared — but capital is becoming more selective.
🇺🇸 FED ALERT: Fed Chair Kevin Warsh delivered a hawkish Jackson Hole message, highlighting that inflation remains well above the Fed's 2% target.
This combination is creating a dangerous short-term setup:
After a massive +45% daily move, $PROM is looking heavily extended. Price is trading well above the Bollinger upper band, while $7.89 is the immediate resistance/high.
📉 My SHORT idea:
🔴 Entry: $7.10–$7.40 on rejection
🛑 SL: $8.05
🎯 TP1: $6.45
🎯 TP2: $5.50
🎯 TP3: $4.90
I would NOT short blindly here. Wait for a clear rejection/failed breakout around $7.20–$7.90 and confirmation before entering.
⚠️ After such a vertical move, volatility can be extreme. Manage risk carefully. Binance notes that technical indicators can produce false signals, so confirmation matters.
PROM is the native token of the Prom network, which currently operates as a scalable network based on Polygon CDK. $SKR
ZK is showing a strong 4H breakout structure. Price has pushed above the key $0.0485–$0.0495 resistance zone, turning it into an important potential support area.
📌 Key Levels
🟢 Entry: $0.0490–$0.0500 on successful retest
🎯 TP1: $0.0550
🎯 TP2: $0.0620
🛑 SL: Below $0.0465
📈 Chart projection: ~+24.5%
The setup is simple: Breakout → Retest → Hold → Continuation 🚀
⚠️ No blind entry. Wait for confirmation that the breakout zone holds as support.
ZKsync officially describes $ZKP as the native asset of the ZKsync network, with a fixed maximum supply of 21B ZK.
BTC is currently trading around $78,248 after a strong recovery from the $76,888 low.
Price is consolidating near the upper Bollinger Band (~$78,444), while the middle band around $78,048 is acting as immediate support.
A clean breakout above $78,330–$78,450 could open the way for further upside. But rejection from this zone may trigger a retest toward $78,050 → $77,650.
