According to a report by US financial media Semafor, US officials revealed that Israel informed the US this week that its ballistic missile interceptors are running low as the conflict with Iran intensifies. The report states that Israel's interceptor stockpile was already low when it entered the current war, having been heavily depleted during last summer's conflict with Iran. Israel's long-range defense systems have been under immense pressure from Iranian attacks. CNN previously reported that Iran is adding cluster munitions to its missiles, which could exacerbate Israel's depletion of its stockpile. A US official stated that the US was aware of Israel's insufficient interceptor capabilities months ago: "This is something we anticipated and were prepared for." The official emphasized that the US's own interceptor stockpile is not similarly low. It remains unclear whether the US will seek to sell or share its own interceptors with Israel, a move that would put pressure on domestic supplies. Missile defense assets have been included in previous US military aid to Israel. (Jinshi)

The Basel III regulations, which dictate bank capital requirements, are slated for an update in 2026. If Bitcoin (BTC) receives a lower risk rating in these revised rules, it could lead to a significant influx of liquidity into BTC, as noted by market analyst Nic Puckrin. According to Cointelegraph, the current Basel rules assign BTC and similar digital assets a 1,250% risk weight. This means banks must hold reserve assets at a 1:1 ratio to back any Bitcoin on their balance sheets, making it nearly impossible for banks to hold BTC or offer related services. Puckrin highlighted that the Federal Reserve has proposed a plan for implementing these rules in the U.S., with a 90-day public comment period. Even a slight improvement in BTC's treatment could enable banks to integrate BTC into the financial system. In February, executives from several crypto treasury companies advocated for reforming the Basel rules to allow more accommodating risk weights for digital assets, which would enable banks to engage in the blockchain economy. The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) proposed the current capital requirements for cryptocurrencies in 2021, placing crypto in the highest risk category. While BTC and crypto carry a 1,250% risk weight, investment-grade corporate bonds have a risk weight of up to 75%, according to Jeff Walton, chief risk officer at Bitcoin treasury company Strive. In contrast, gold, government bonds, and physical cash have a 0% risk weight, leading Walton to argue that risk is mispriced. The Basel capital requirements act as a subtle method of restricting the crypto industry, more so than efforts to debank crypto companies under Operation Chokepoint 2.0, according to Chris Perkins, president of investment company CoinFund. Perkins explained that this approach suppresses activity by making it prohibitively expensive for banks to engage in these activities. The ongoing debate highlights the challenges and potential changes facing the integration of digital assets into the traditional financial system.
