Last Friday, Dell triggered an AI trading surge, pushing all three major U.S. stock indices to new highs. The S&P 500 extended its nine-week winning streak, the longest in over two years, while the Nasdaq rose nearly 25% over the past two months. At the same time, President Trump announced that he would make a final decision regarding the Iran conflict, causing oil prices to fall, U.S. Treasuries to rise, and the U.S. dollar to weaken. Both the 10-year Treasury yield and the U.S. Dollar Index hit two-week lows. Over the weekend, U.S.-Iran negotiations failed to reach an agreement on schedule, extending talks by another week. As a result, Bitcoin’s rebound momentum could not be sustained, failing to hold above the $74,000 level. In the short term, BTC remains range-bound, fluctuating between $73,000 and $74,000.

The CFTC released 24/7 trading guidance and approved Kalshi to launch a perpetual futures product referencing Bitcoin spot prices, marking a move toward a fully localized, around-the-clock crypto derivatives market in the U.S. Clearer regulatory frameworks are expected to attract U.S. users and liquidity that previously flowed offshore, while enhancing institutional participation, capital efficiency, and risk management capabilities. With multiple firms planning to launch CFTC-regulated perpetual contracts within the next 30 days, the U.S. market may enter a new cycle of derivatives expansion. Meanwhile, the crypto market rebounded overall. HYPE surged on continued inflows into the Hyperliquid ETF, reaching new all-time highs; BNB and the broader BNB ecosystem strengthened, driven by Binance’s upcoming products and securities tokenization expectations; XLM rose sharply after integrating with DTCC’s tokenized securities platform, reflecting ongoing market focus on trading infrastructure, derivatives, and asset tokenization sectors.

U.S.-Iran Situation: After meeting with advisors on Friday, President Trump revised the proposed U.S.-Iran agreement, extending the negotiation timeline by another week. He tightened provisions intended to end the Iran conflict, including modifying Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile handling and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz clauses. The memorandum provides a 60-day negotiation window, with the U.S. committing to fully unfreeze $12 billion in Iranian assets, while Iran would gain exclusive authority over vessel passage through the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated at the Shangri-La Dialogue that military action would resume if negotiations fail.
