US sanctions Persian Gulf Strait Authority in an attempt to discourage Tehrans dominance

The United States (US) Treasury Department said on Wednesday that it has sanctioned the Persian Gulf Strait Authority, the body Iran has set up to manage the Strait of Hormuz, the conduit for about a fifth of the global oil supply. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said, “The Iranian militarys latest attempt to extort global maritime trade is proof that Economic Fury has left the regime desperate for cash.” This move by Washington could lead to de-escalation in the US-Iran negotiations towards a permanent ceasefire.　　Additional Information　　The authority is a body Iran has set up to manage requests for passage through the Strait of Hormuz.　　Tehrans grip on the strait has sent the world economy into turmoil.　　It closed the strait after the US and Israel launched its war against Iran on February 28.　　Anyone cooperating with the authority may be providing support to and receiving services from Irans Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and may be sanctioned, the Treasury said in a statement.　　The Persian Gulf Strait Authority published a map last week reaffirming Tehrans claims to a wide stretch of water on either side of the choke point.　　Market reaction　　There seems to be a positive response to oil prices after Washingtons fresh sanctions.

Kraken rolls out Bitcoin vault product for holders to earn yield

Crypto exchange Kraken has launched a non-custodial Bitcoin product, giving a 2.5% yearly yield, adding to the companys yield product offerings amid a rising investor demand for crypto reward products.　　Kraken unveiled the product on Wednesday with the support of crypto yield infrastructure provider Veda, which said the offering seeks to remove “the headaches that come with wrapping Bitcoin, moving assets, or managing a crypto wallet.”　　Krakens offering comes as Bitcoin (BTC) holders demand for yield products has risen, but have seen limited development as the Bitcoin blockchain does not have mechanisms for users to generate yield compared to blockchains such as Ethereum and Solana.　　“Many Bitcoin holders on Kraken have made it clear they want simple ways to earn on the Bitcoin they already plan to hold,” Kraken Earn product director John Zettler said in a statement.　　Source: Kraken　　About 10 hours after the launch, Veda said the Bitcoin yield product had passed $30 million worth of Bitcoin deposits from 4,000 unique wallets.　　Krakens three stablecoin yield products that it launched in January have exceeded around $245 million in customer deposits and generated over $2.2 million in yield since launching on Jan. 26.　　Related: Coinbase, Apex Group tokenize Bitcoin Yield Fund on Base　　Kraken‘s product generates yield

Galaxy, SharpLink Launch $125M Ethereum Yield Fund in DeFi

Galaxy has announced plans to create a new $125 million institutional on-chain yield fund. This initiative is called the Galaxy SharpLink Onchain Yield Fund. It deploys capital directly into decentralized finance protocols. The fund focuses specifically on Ethereum-native yield strategies and active DeFi participation.　　The partnership is important beyond the investment itself. Thats a sign of changing times when it comes to institutional crypto investing. It used to be as simple as large financial enterprises buying and holding crypto assets. However, it has now become a more complex operation.　　The Structure of the $125 Million Fund　　Both companies have committed to a combined $125 million investment. SharpLink plans to contribute approximately $100 million from its existing Ethereum treasury operations. At the same time, Galaxy Digital expects to add another $25 million to the fund while managing it.　　Galaxy will oversee capital deployment into various DeFi opportunities across Ethereums ecosystem. The strategies will include liquidity provisioning, decentralized lending markets, staking optimization, and yield aggregation mechanisms.　　SharpLink will maintain long-term exposure to ETH while receiving passive income from staking. This approach shows how crypto treasury companies seek new options. They want to convert token reserves into financial assets for active management and passive income.　　Why Institutions are Moving

Ethereum Price Prediction: ETH Faces $1.8K Risk Unless Bulls Reclaim This Critical Level

Ethereum is trading at $2,080 and grinding lower into a zone where the technical picture is bleak on the surface, but quietly building something more interesting beneath the surface.　　The 100-day moving average sits just above as a lost reference point; the ascending channel floor is on the verge of a breakdown, yet the 4-hour chart is sketching out what may be a genuine bullish reversal pattern.　　Whether it develops into something real or simply unwinds into another leg lower is the central question heading into June.　　Ethereum Price Analysis: The Daily Chart　　On the daily chart, the price has continued to drift lower since the mid-May rejection from the $2.4K area. ETH is now trading at $2,080, with the 100-day moving average sitting just above at approximately $2.2k, which is close enough to be relevant but is acting consistently as resistance. The ascending white channels lower boundary is barely holding, and the RSI has deteriorated into the 35–40 range, indicating selling pressure without yet reaching an oversold extreme.　　The $1.8K demand zone is now the primary downside reference, sitting roughly $280 below.　　This distance could be covered quickly if the channel floor were to fail. A recovery above the 100-day moving average, on the other

Ethereum Is a Giver, Not a Taker: David Hoffman Explains ETH Exit

David Hoffman said Ethereum succeeded technologically, but ETH may no longer see a meaningful structural rerating higher from current levels.　　Bankless co-founder David Hoffman said he sold his Ether holdings because he believes the long-standing “ETH is money” thesis has already largely played out. Despite this, he remains strongly bullish on Ethereum as a network.　　According to Hoffman, the decision did not come lightly, given that he built his career, business, community, and identity around Ethereum.　　Ethereum Chose the Hard Path Unlike Bitcoin　　In his latest tweet, Hoffman stated that the “ETH is money” thesis depended on Ethereum succeeding across multiple layers of coordination, including decentralized leadership, governance, Layer 2 ecosystems, roadmap execution, and technological development.　　Hoffman described Ethereum as “not Bitcoin,” and said that Bitcoin simplified its blockchain to maximize the value of BTC, while Ethereum pursued a more ambitious path by expanding utility across decentralized applications, finance, tokenization, and infrastructure. He even went on to add that Ethereum achieved part of that vision and earned the market capitalization it currently has, but said the opportunity for ETH to be significantly rerated higher by the market now appears to be closing.　　The Bankless co-founder also explained that the broader “strong version” of crypto, which focused

AI Chatbots Could Quietly Pull Users Away From Reality, Researchers Warn

A new study argues the term “AI psychosis” oversimplifies how chatbots affect mental health.Researchers say AI systems can reinforce unhealthy beliefs through constant affirmation and emotional validation.The paper introduces “existential drift,” describing how AI interactions may gradually reshape a persons sense of reality.　　As AI chatbots become more emotionally responsive, conversational, and personalized, researchers warn that those same traits could reshape how some users experience reality itself.　　A new preprint study, “Rethinking AI Psychosis: Misnomers, Conceptual Limits, and Existential Drift,” examines concerns that AI chatbots may reinforce delusions, paranoia, and emotional dependency in vulnerable users.　　“There has been a proliferation of media reports about so-called AI psychosis in the last year,” the researchers wrote. “Not surprisingly, this has prompted growing academic work on the ways in which AI chatbots such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Replika might aggravate or even induce psychosis, typically understood in terms of users acquiring or maintaining delusional beliefs.”　　The study out of the University of Copenhagen and the University of Exeter argues fears around “AI psychosis” may oversimplify the issue, suggesting chatbots amplify existing vulnerabilities while gradually reshaping how users relate to reality and other people.　　“If AI interaction were capable of inducing psychosis de novo, we might expect to see
