News Digest: Geopolitics, Regulation, and a $50M Hack

Three big stories this morning, and they're all pulling in different directions.

First, the macro: Bitcoin is holding around $67,5k after a report that Trump may de-escalate the Iran conflict. This is a classic 'risk-on' headline that lifted equities and knocked oil down. It's a reminder that in this environment, crypto is still a macro satellite.

Second, the regulatory push: The US Labor Dept. is moving toward allowing crypto in 401(k) plans. This is a long-term bullish structural story, but it's grindingly slow. Don't expect a price pop today.

Third, the black eye: A $50M hack from 2021 just saw charges and $31M seized. It's a good enforcement story for the 'legitimacy' narrative, but also a stark reminder of the sector's persistent security risks. The Fear & Greed Index at 11 says it all.
