Kiyosaki Says Iran’s Yuan Oil Deal Threatens Petrodollar

Tech　　Kiyosaki Says Irans Yuan Oil Deal Threatens PetrodollarRobert Kiyosaki called Irans yuan oil trade a historic financial shift.Iran reportedly accepts yuan payments linked to Strait of Hormuz tolls.Analysts say the US dollar still dominates global oil and reserve markets.　　Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, is sounding the alarm over Irans decision to accept Chinese yuan as payment for oil, describing it as the most significant financial development in modern history.　　“Iran began accepting payment for oil in Chinese yuan. This is the biggest news in world financial history and no one is explaining it,” Kiyosaki wrote on X, urging followers to listen to a Ray Dalio podcast that he said offers concrete steps to avoid becoming a victim of what he described as a massive change in money.　　The backdrop is the ongoing US-Iran conflict that began in February 2026. Iran has been charging ships up to $2 million per tanker for transit through the Strait of Hormuz, with payments reportedly settled in yuan.　　Iran has been accepting yuan from China since 2012 to circumvent US sanctions, so the mechanism itself is not new. What is new is the formalisation of toll charges through the strait and the geopolitical context of

Euro rises against Canadian Dollar due to lower oil prices, risk-on mood

Finance　　Euro rises against Canadian Dollar due to lower oil prices, risk-on mood　　EUR/CAD extends its winning streak for the fourth consecutive day, trading around 1.6080 during the European hours on Monday. The currency cross is gaining ground as the commodity-linked Canadian Dollar (CAD) struggles due to lower oil prices, a direct result of Canadas status as the largest crude exporter to the United States (US).　　Crude oil prices have dropped as supply fears ease, driven by rising optimism over a potential US-Iran agreement. Reports indicate that the United States and Iran are close to signing a deal involving a 60-day ceasefire extension. Under this proposed agreement, the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened, and Iran would clear mines it deployed in the waterway to allow ships to pass freely. In exchange, the United States would lift its current blockade on Iranian ports.　　Meanwhile, traders are awaiting speeches from European Central Bank (ECB) policymakers later this week, including President Christine Lagarde, for fresh market impetus. The ECB has hinted that rising energy prices might push this years inflation forecasts upward, supporting the case for a potential interest rate hike this year. While the case for the ECB to raise interest rates in June is

The Gen Z Crypto Scam Epidemic in Australia

Crypto　　The “Gen Z” Crypto Scam Epidemic in Australia　　A sobering report from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), released this morning, highlights a massive spike in sophisticated trading scams targeting younger demographics.　　Financial regulators are sounding the alarm as “Generation Z” investors are increasingly being funneled into fake, high-tech-looking trading platforms via social media chat groups, particularly on platforms like WhatsApp.　　The Anatomy of the Scam　　Unlike the “clunky” scams of the past, these platforms are visually indistinguishable from legitimate institutional brokerages, showing real-time price movements that are entirely synthetic. Scammers are posing as high-profile crypto influencers or financial experts to build artificial trust.　　According to the reports, victims are often enticed to deposit more capital under the guise of “withdrawal fees” or “taxes” once they attempt to cash out their “fake” profits.　　ASIC boss Alan Kirkland issued a blunt warning today: “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” The rise of these scams is being linked to the sheer volume of unregulated investment advertisements that younger users encounter online.　　This development is forcing a broader conversation in the industry about the responsibility of platforms to filter fraudulent content, even as crypto becomes more deeply integrated into the mainstream financial ecosystem.

Dogecoin Price Prediction: DOGE Near a Defining Cycle Moment

Tech　　Dogecoin Price Prediction: DOGE Near a Defining Cycle Moment　　Dogecoin is back near a long term support area that has marked major cycle bottoms before. Two analysts now point to the same idea: DOGE may be building a base, but it still needs a clear breakout to confirm a stronger move.　　Dogecoin Monthly Setup Points to Solid Base as Trader Expects Larger Move　　Dogecoins monthly setup is drawing attention after Trader Tardigrade said DOGE has formed a solid base again.　　The post does not give exact price levels, but the main idea is clear. The analyst is pointing to a long term base structure, which usually means price has spent time moving sideways after a wider pullback.　　Dogecoin Monthly Base Chart. Source:　　A base can matter because it shows where sellers may be losing control. If DOGE continues to hold that area, buyers could use it as a foundation for the next larger move.　　Trader Tardigrade also said “something big is happening” and claimed a “massive surge” is coming. That is a bullish view, but the setup still needs confirmation from price action.　　The stronger signal would be a monthly breakout above the range. Without that breakout, the chart remains in a base building phase rather than a

South African Rand: SARB tightening and fiscal risks – BNY

Finance　　South African Rand: SARB tightening and fiscal risks – BNY　　BNYs Bob Savage argues that South African Reserve Bank (SARB) is likely to lead emerging market tightening as South Africa reverses its easing path and hikes the repo rate back to 7.0%. The report notes improving inflows and mining-related support for South African Rand (ZAR), but stresses that higher U.S. yields and Fed policy set the bar, requiring more forceful Emerging Markets (EM) moves to maintain credibility and stabilize South African government bonds (SAGBs).　　SARB leads EM rate reversal　　“A shift in the Feds policy stance has reset the benchmark for emerging market central banks. On the back of surprise hikes in Asia to defend currencies and avoid excessive outflows, there are many candidates in EM that can follow, especially if fiscal performance is also under pressure, or other idiosyncratic factors come into play. Turkey is seen as a candidate, especially with growing reserve stress, but South Africa is likely to take the lead this week as it reverses course and hikes the repo rate back to 7.0%.”　　“This marks a sharp reversal from the easing path the SARB had established before the conflict, which had been reinforced by a lower inflation target and

Vitalik’s smaller Ethereum Foundation tests ETH holders’ demand for execution

Ethereum　　Vitalik‘s smaller Ethereum Foundation tests ETH holders’ demand for execution　　With at least nine senior Ethereum Foundation (EF) members having left in 2026 and years of community frustration over EF-linked ETH sales, Vitalik Buterin posted his perspective on the Foundations direction.　　For Buterin, the EF should become smaller, more opinionated, and less central to Ethereums future.　　He said this reflects his view alone and that the board is expanding while his own power within the organization continues to decrease, which he described as what he wants.　　The dispute now centers on Ethereum Foundation ETH sales, treasury discipline, and whether outside groups can take over the growth functions holders want EF to own.　　That framing puts Buterin directly at odds with a vocal segment of ETH holders who want the Foundation to behave more like a growth-oriented institution, competing harder against Solana, building the ETH-as-asset narrative, coordinating business development, and stepping up execution.QuestionETH-holder demandVitaliks answerWhat should EF be？Growth-oriented institutionOne node among manyWhat should EF optimize for？ETH value, adoption, executionCROPS: censorship resistance, open source, privacy, securityWhat should EF do with ETH？Stop or reduce sellingSell less by becoming narrowerWho handles BD and asset narrative？EF should coordinate itOutside organizations should step inWhat is the risk？Ethereum under-competesEthereum becomes too centralized

XRP Price Eyes Shift as Binance Reserves Hit 3-Month Low

That distinction remained important for XRP crypto sentiment. A reduction in bearish bets usually lowered downside pressure, but it did not automatically confirm a fresh rally. Sustainable upside typically required rising open interest alongside stronger spot demand.　　The analyst added that bearish positioning appeared to be ending gradually. However, leveraged long participation had not yet accelerated enough to confirm renewed bullish momentum.　　Derivatives activity across crypto markets also cooled during the past several weeks. Lower leverage levels reduced liquidation risk but weakened breakout strength. XRP price therefore remained trapped between fading bearish pressure and absent bullish expansion.　　Meanwhile, on-chain behavior hinted at a longer holding trend among some investors. Falling exchange reserves historically aligned with accumulation phases, though reduced trading activity could produce similar readings. That uncertainty prevented traders from treating the reserve drop as a direct bullish signal.　　Binance Reserve Trends Shifted Market Liquidity Outlook　　Binance reserve trends often acted as liquidity indicators because the exchange handled large XRP trading volumes globally. When reserves declined steadily, fewer tokens remained available for rapid distribution into the market.　　This shift occurred while broader XRP crypto participation stayed relatively subdued. Spot volumes remained lower than levels recorded during earlier volatility periods, and derivatives traders appeared cautious after months

Hyperliquid price rallies over 40% in a week, can bulls push higher?

After consolidating near the upper trendline throughout April and early May, bulls forced a vertical breakout above channel resistance near $50, triggering an accelerated momentum move toward the current $64 region. The breakout also invalidated previous bearish divergence concerns that had emerged earlier this quarter.　　The 50-day moving average currently sits near $44 while the 200-day moving average remains around $34.5, highlighting the strength of the ongoing trend structure. HYPE continues to trade substantially above both key support levels, a setup that typically signals strong bullish continuation conditions.　　Momentum indicators have also turned decisively bullish. On the daily timeframe, the MACD histogram remains deeply positive while the MACD line continues expanding above its signal line after a strong crossover earlier this month. Expanding histogram bars suggest buying momentum has not yet fully exhausted itself despite the steep rally.　　Derivatives positioning also points toward elevated volatility ahead. According to CoinGlass liquidation heatmaps, large leveraged short liquidation clusters are concentrated between $65 and $66.7. A decisive breakthrough in this region could trigger forced liquidations from overleveraged bears, potentially accelerating upside momentum in a short squeeze scenario.　　Hyperliquid liquidation heatmap | Source: CoinGlass　　Beneath current prices, notable liquidity pockets have formed near $61 and $60.5, creating important short-term

Cardano Price Prediction: Hoskinson Takes Governance Into His Own Hands as ADA Wedge Nears Its Limit

Price reclaimed the top of its descending channel after Fridays scare, which had briefly threatened a drop to the lowest levels since March. That bounce held, but the chart is not clean yet. The Parabolic SAR sits at $0.2635, well above current price, keeping the daily bias bearish. A retest of the 50-day moving average near $0.2538 is the next logical step if bulls maintain momentum through the week.　　Multiple Fair Value Gaps are stacked between $0.29 and $0.37, with Fibonacci confluence at the 0.5 level ($0.29245), 0.618 ($0.3094), and 0.705 ($0.3220). None of those matter unless ADA first clears $0.25 and reclaims $0.2754, which aligns with the 0.382 Fib and prior structure resistance.　　ADA Key levels for May 26:Resistance: $0.2500, $0.2635 (SAR), $0.2754 (0.382 Fib)Support: $0.2400 (wedge lower trendline), $0.2200 (macro floor)　　Cardanos Real Problem Right Now: Urgency, Not Fundamentals　　Criticism circulating this weekend called out Cardano‘s $128M TVL, $1.3M daily DEX volume, and 17,000 active addresses as proof the chain is overvalued at a $9B market cap. The TVL figure is misleading, Cardano’s staking model means locked value never shows up in standard TVL counts, and by staked assets alone it would rank among cryptos highest.
