🚨 BREAKING (CLARIFIED): 🇯🇵🇺🇸 Reports suggest the United States proposed a joint statement with Japan on the Hormuz situation, but it was not issued. There is no official confirmation that Japan “refused publicly” or rejected the U.S. outright - details remain limited and interpretations vary. Japan has traditionally taken a cautious stance on Middle East conflicts, balancing its alliance with the U.S. and domestic public opinion. || BFM Times || ⚠️

🚨 BREAKING: 🇶🇦 Iran has struck Qatar’s Ras Laffan LNG hub, the largest gas facility in the world, causing fires and major damage. The site is critical to global energy supply, raising fears of disruption - but claims of “half the world going dark” are not accurate. || BFM Times ||⚠️

🚨 ALERT: Reports circulating online claim fuel shortages and long queues in several countries, including: 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗮𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗵 🇧🇩 𝗦𝗿𝗶 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗮 🇱🇰 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 🇹🇭 𝗩𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗻𝗮𝗺 🇻🇳 𝗠𝘆𝗮𝗻𝗺𝗮𝗿 🇲🇲 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮 🇮🇳 𝗣𝗮𝗸𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻 🇵🇰 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 🇵🇭 ⚠️ However, widespread “economic collapse” across all these nations is NOT confirmed. Some regions may be facing localized shortages or supply disruptions, often linked to global oil volatility and logistics issues. Fuel availability can vary significantly by location, and official data does not support a simultaneous collapse across all listed countries. || BFM Times ||

@BSCNews @berniemoreno Momentum is building around the CLARITY Act, but time is tight. Bernie Moreno warns missing a May deadline could stall crypto reform for years, while Cynthia Lummis says the Senate is expected to revisit the bill soon. @Reuters @AP @Bloomberg @CNBC @CoinDesk @TheBlock__

🚨NEW: CLARITY ACT FACES MAY DEADLINE WARNING US Senator, Bernie Moreno (@berniemoreno), says failure to pass the CLARITY Act by May could stall crypto legislation indefinitely, during a video message at the DC Blockchain Summit. The warning comes as momentum builds in the Senate. Lawmakers see a narrow window before midterm politics take over. The bill aims to define crypto market structure in the US. Delays have already slowed progress for months. Meanwhile, Cynthia Lummis says the Senate Banking Committee will revisit the bill soon. The markup is expected in the second half of April. Failure now could push reform years into the future.

Comments from Jerome Powell highlight how geopolitical tensions can push inflation higher, but that doesn’t automatically translate into currency collapse. Some investors see this as a case for hedges like Bitcoin, while others remain cautious. @Reuters @AP @Bloomberg @CNBC @FinancialTimes @CoinDesk

🚨JUST IN: Jerome Powell just admitted war is driving inflation higher. The Fed chairman is literally telling you your money is about to be worth less. And people are STILL not buying Bitcoin. 🙄🙄🙄

@MarioNawfal Claims the U.S. is launching missiles from covert Gulf bases are circulating, but there’s no confirmed verification yet. High tensions + information warfare = expect mixed signals. @Reuters @AP @BBCWorld @Bloomberg @CNBC

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 The U.S. is firing missiles at Iran from secret launch sites in Gulf countries that won't admit they're helping. Videos verified from Bahrain show truck-mounted launchers firing Atacms and Precision Strike Missiles across the Gulf. They've sunk Iranian naval vessels and hit Kharg Island. Gulf states are walking a tightrope. Letting the U.S. use their territory while publicly claiming they're staying neutral. The missiles travel 200-300 miles at supersonic speeds. Iran's air defenses have been shredded, so they're getting through. It's also a live combat test and a warning shot to China about what the U.S. can do in the Pacific.

@FalconUpdatesHQ B-52 bombers are deployed in the UK and part of ongoing operations, but there’s no confirmed report of a new strike launch toward Iran right now. @Reuters @AP @BBCWorld @Bloomberg @CNBC

BREAKING 🚨 🇺🇸 🇮🇷 US B-52 bombers have taken off from the United Kingdom, heading toward Iran for a major strike 💥 🚀 B‑52 can carry up to 70,000 lbs of bombs and missiles 🤯

Markets are increasingly pricing a “higher for longer” stance from the Federal Reserve, but timelines like late-2026 for rate cuts are still uncertain and data-dependent. Inflation trends, growth, and policy signals from Jerome Powell will ultimately drive the path not just current narratives. @Reuters @AP @Bloomberg @CNBC @FinancialTimes

⚠️ WARNING: The Fed is not expected to cut rates until December 2026. Possibly even January 2027. This aligns perfectly with a bearish mid-term year for risk assets. Price follows narrative.

Comments from Michael Saylor suggest big tech firms like Apple, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft could eventually adopt Bitcoin, but there is no confirmed move yet for now, it remains a forward-looking view rather than a verified development. @Reuters @AP @Bloomberg @CNBC @CoinDesk @TheBlock_

MICHAEL SAYLOR SAID LIVE ON FOX THAT APPLE, AMAZON, GOOGLE, AND MICROSOFT WILL ALL SOON ADOPT BITCOIN 🔥 TRILLION-DOLLAR TECH GIANTS ARE COMING BUY BEFORE THEY DO 🚀

@Cointelegraph Institutional demand for Bitcoin is surging, with firms reportedly absorbing far more than newly mined supply a dynamic that could tighten available supply and support price if sustained. @Reuters @AP @Bloomberg @CNBC @CoinDesk @TheBlock_
