NEW: 🇧🇴 Bolivia plans to include USDT on its national payment system.
The proposal comes against the backdrop of Bolivia's long-term dollar shortage, following forced abandonment of the official exchange rate mechanism in early 2026.
Bolivia lifted its ban on cryptocurrencies in 2024, and President Rodrigo Paz Pereira has been pushing for the integration of digital assets since taking office at the end of 2025.
Multinational corporations such as Toyota, BYD, and Yamaha have begun accepting USDT payments for car purchases in Bolivia.
BREAKING: 🇪🇺 European Central Bank warns stablecoins are draining bank deposits.
European banks are losing the payments war in installments. First came mobile apps, which took their fees and transaction data, then digital payments and startups took even more control.
Executive board Piero Cipollone says When users use mobile payments, banks typically pay higher fees than those associated with debit cards and often do not receive any information about the payment, so they lose both fees and data.
Cipollone is worried that stablecoin adoption may render cash deposits irrelevant. Mobile payments cost banks fees and data; stablecoins could cost them the deposit base they rely on to make loans.
BREAKING: Elon Musk lost $40,500,000,000 in net worth today as SpaceX shares plunged more than 5% to close at $123.99, their lowest close since the IPO.
THE U.S.-IRAN CONFLICT COULD COST OVER $100 BILLION
According to WIRED, U.S. intelligence officials estimate the military campaign could ultimately cost more than $100 billion, with confidential congressional estimates putting the bill near $80 billion already.
The White House has also requested $88 billion in additional funding as the conflict continues.
If the war drags on, the impact won't just be military. Higher defense spending, elevated oil prices, and persistent inflation could keep pressure on the global economy and complicate the Fed's path toward lower interest rates.
INSIGHT: SPACEX HAS NOW LOST OVER $1 TRILLION IN MARKET VALUE
📉 Down ~45% from its June peak 💰 Over $1 trillion in market cap erased 🐻 Now one of the most heavily shorted stocks on Wall Street, with roughly 30% of its public float sold short (about $25 billion in bearish bets) 🚀 Starship Flight 13 was scrubbed after engine issues 🔓 Upcoming insider lock-up expirations are adding more selling pressure
The long-term story remains intact, but Wall Street is focused on execution.
BREAKING: Meta Platforms is in talks to lease computing power to Anthropic in a potential deal worth as much as $10 billion over two years, the New York Times reported on Friday.
Anthropic had proposed the deal in June and Meta is considering it, the report said.
The Claude Code creator would pay Meta in monthly increments over the two-year period, although the terms remain subject to change, NYT reported, adding that both companies would have the option to exit the agreement early.
The talks align with reports earlier this month that Meta has been quietly building a cloud business out of its excess AI computing capacity.
Such a deal would help Meta diversify beyond its core advertising business by generating new revenue while competing directly with CoreWeave and Nebius, as growing adoption of advanced tools drive up the need for computing capacity.
BREAKING: ASML to pay employees a one-time €20,000 bonus as AI-driven demand continues to surge.
The total value of the package is estimated at roughly €900 million, making it one of the largest single employee payouts in European tech history.
All 44,500+ global employees, regardless of their rank, role, or geography are qualified for the bonus.
The shares vest on January 1, 2030. To receive the payout, employees must remain with ASML for the entire nearly four-year period, effectively functioning as a long-term retention tool.
The stock has surged more than 137% over the past year driven by its monopoly on lithography systems amid the AI boom.
ASML holds a near 90% monopoly on lithography systems and is the world's sole supplier of Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) machines, which are completely indispensable for manufacturing advanced AI chips (like those used by Nvidia, AMD, and Google).
ASML has raised its full-year 2026 revenue guidance for the second time this year, targeting €43 billion to €45 billion (up from a prior estimate of €36 billion to €40 billion).
$HOME just broke yesterday’s “final bottom” and immediately listed a newer one at $0.00668. Renovations are going terribly. 👀💀
Price is near $0.00703, down 21.54% in 24H, after ranging between $0.00668 and $0.00906. Turnover reached 17.3B HOME and roughly $135.5M USDT, heavy activity, but mostly the kind generated when holders discover urgency.
The chart has now erased almost 88% from the $0.05952 peak and remains buried beneath:
MA(7): $0.01199 MA(25): $0.01566 MA(99): $0.02104
That staircase is pointing downward, while the failed rebound near $0.015–$0.016 has created another ceiling full of trapped buyers.
The first requirement is brutally basic: defend $0.00668–$0.0070 and reclaim $0.0090. Only then can HOME attempt $0.010–$0.012.
Lose $0.00668, and the chart enters fresh-price-discovery territory, where “support” becomes whatever number frightened traders agree to post next.
I could not verify a fresh official announcement that clearly caused this sell-off. The recent background still includes Rocket Perps, reportedly directing part of revenue toward HOME buybacks and June’s 750M-token unlock, equal to roughly 19.8% of the previously circulating supply. Product demand may help eventually; released supply appears less interested in waiting.
Is $0.00668 genuine capitulation…
or just the newest floor in a house where every room has a trapdoor? 📉
BREAKING: SpaceX (SPCX) hits a record low of $122. The stock has plunged more than 45% from its all-time high of $225.64, reached on June 16, wiping out nearly $1.35 trillion in market capitalization.
