Odaily reports that the Turkish Foreign Minister stated: "There are indications that Israel is still seeking to attack Iran."

According to Politico, citing three sources familiar with the matter, the Trump administration is weighing new measures to push for regime change in Cuba, including a complete blockade of oil imports from the Caribbean nation. Two of the sources said the escalation was pushed by some within the administration who are critical of the Cuban government and has the support of Secretary of State Rubio. No decision has yet been made on whether to approve the move, but they added that it could be included in a package of options presented to Trump aimed at forcing the Cuban government to step down. Blocking crude oil shipments to Cuba would go further than Trump stated last week, when he said the U.S. would block Cuba from importing oil from Venezuela, which has previously been Cuba's main crude oil supplier.

According to CryptoQuant, an on-chain data analytics firm, Bitcoin holders have recently begun realizing net losses, marking the first time this has happened since October 2023 and signifying a significant shift in the on-chain profit structure. CryptoQuant's latest report indicates that the market has shifted from a "profit-taking" to a "loss-realization" phase over the past 30 days. Data shows that since the beginning of 2024, Bitcoin's realized profit momentum has been weakening, with profit peaks occurring in January 2024, December 2024, July 2025, and October 2025, reflecting a gradual decline in upward price momentum. The report states that since December 23, 2025, Bitcoin holders have accumulated losses equivalent to a maximum of 69,000 BTC. CryptoQuant believes this trend is highly similar to the on-chain pattern during the bull-to-bear market transition of 2021–2022, potentially suggesting that the current bull market is nearing its end. Julio Moreno, head of research at CryptoQuant, said that the realized profit and loss calculation is based on on-chain transaction data and market prices. The price at the time of each Bitcoin transfer is compared with the price of the previous transfer to calculate the corresponding profit and loss.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that crypto asset management firm 21Shares has launched a new Dogecoin (DOGE) ETF, further pushing the meme currency into the traditional financial system. The ETF began trading on Nasdaq on Thursday under the ticker symbol TDOG. 21Shares stated that this is the latest addition to its crypto ETF product line, having previously launched ETFs for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP. The company also emphasized that it is the only ETF issuer endorsed by the House of Doge, an organization under the Dogecoin Foundation. Despite this, overall market demand for meme ETFs remains relatively restrained. Data shows that the first Dogecoin ETF in the US launched last September, and its cumulative trading volume to date is approximately $200 million, indicating that Wall Street's interest in allocating to memes remains limited. 21Shares stated that TDOG aims to provide investors with a compliant, physically backed investment channel for DOGE, lowering the barrier to entry through the ETF format; the Dogecoin Foundation stated that the product will help promote the further adoption of Dogecoin in mature financial structures.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that the FBI has arrested former Olympic snowboarder Ryan Wedding in Mexico City. The US accuses him of operating a transnational drug trafficking organization and extensively using cryptocurrencies and stablecoins for drug money settlements and laundering. FBI Director Kash Patel stated that Wedding will be extradited to the United States and face multiple charges, including cocaine trafficking and murder. Wedding has been on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list since 2025, with a reward of up to $15 million. US prosecutors allege that the criminal network, in cooperation with the Sinaloa Cartel, smuggled hundreds of kilograms of cocaine from Colombia through Mexico and California to the United States and Canada. The US Treasury Department previously stated that the organization used multiple blockchains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tron, Solana, and BNB Chain, for fund transfers, involving stablecoin payments and exhibiting characteristics of multi-chain money laundering. In 2024, the US Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) imposed sanctions on Wedding, his associates, and shell companies, and froze multiple encrypted addresses. Prosecutors also accused him of ordering the murder of an informant and planning multiple acts of violent retaliation related to drug trafficking. (The Block)
