Sky co-founder Rune's leveraged positions have recently experienced significant losses. According to Odaily, data from Hyperbot indicates that Rune's sevenfold leveraged short position on the Nasdaq 100 was closed 16 hours ago. Currently, he holds long positions valued at approximately $518,000, including a 20-fold leveraged long position in WTI crude oil futures and a sevenfold leveraged position in Brent oil. Additionally, Rune maintains a 20-fold leveraged short position on the S&P 500, valued at $159,000. At present, all of Rune's positions are in a loss state, with the total value dropping to around $678,000, reflecting a floating loss of approximately $61,000 and an investment return rate of -22.68%. Rune initially entered these positions last month when oil prices were rising, achieving a floating profit exceeding $1 million. However, recent fluctuations and declines in oil prices have turned these positions from profit to loss.

U.S. Vice President Vance announced that after 21 hours of negotiations, no agreement was reached with Iran, which refused to abandon its nuclear weapons program. According to BlockBeats, U.S. President Donald Trump had previously warned that failure in talks would lead to 'total destruction' of Iran. The ongoing conflict has caused volatility in the crypto market for weeks, compounded by tariff disputes, with Bitcoin dropping below $70,000 earlier this month. Analysts had predicted that a successful agreement could push Bitcoin to $80,000, while a breakdown might see it fall to $65,000. On the bullish side, data from on-chain wallets indicate that the largest Bitcoin holders, known as whales, have continued to buy during the peak of geopolitical turmoil rather than sell. Their reasoning is that if the conflict escalates, disrupting oil supplies from the Persian Gulf, rising oil prices and inflation could delay Federal Reserve rate cuts, benefiting scarce assets like Bitcoin and gold. Conversely, Peter Schiff, a gold trader and long-time Bitcoin skeptic, argues that as tensions rise, investors will flee Bitcoin for gold. Schiff predicts a Bitcoin 'collapse,' asserting that gold is the only true safe haven during wartime, and suggests that insiders may be profiting from market fluctuations driven by conflict news. If Trump follows through on his 'total destruction' threat, both stock and crypto markets are likely to experience simultaneous sell-offs. In terms of future developments, Vice President Vance maintained a firm stance at a press conference but did not rule out further negotiations. The Iranian parliamentary speaker demanded a ceasefire in Lebanon and the unfreezing of assets before engaging in formal talks. For Bitcoin traders, the next 72 hours hinge on two critical issues: whether a ceasefire agreement can be sustained and if Trump will escalate the conflict. Meanwhile, whale wallets continue to buy at current prices, indicating that some large investors are betting on stabilization of the situation.

WLFI co-founder Zach Witkoff has responded to recent criticisms on the X platform regarding the WLFI project. According to Odaily, Witkoff clarified several points to address misconceptions. Firstly, he emphasized that WLFI should not be confused with the Trump meme coin, as they are entirely unrelated. He also stated that WLFI has no connection with 'fight fight fight' or CIC Digital Company. Witkoff highlighted that early investors purchased WLFI at prices of $0.015 and $0.05, with the current price standing at $0.08. He further explained that the project's primary product is not transaction fees but a stablecoin that generates returns through holding government bonds. This stablecoin ranks as the second-largest compliant stablecoin by trading volume and market capitalization, which he described as a significant achievement. Witkoff advised critics to conduct more thorough research before writing extensive posts on the matter.

In response to the recent concentrated criticism of the WLFI project by Platform X, WLFI co-founder Zach Witkoff stated: "You lack a basic understanding of the facts here. There's a lot to refute, but I'll start with a few basic facts: 1. You're conflating the WLFI project with Trump meme coins—they're completely unrelated; 2. WLFI has no affiliation with 'Fight Fight Fight' or CIC Digital; 3. Our early holders bought in at $0.015 and $0.05, and today's price is $0.08; 4. We don't primarily offer 'transaction fees.' Our primary product is a stablecoin that generates yield through holding government bonds. Our stablecoin is the second-largest compliant stablecoin by trading volume and market capitalization, which is no small achievement. You should try to do some more research before writing a long tweet."
