Gold: Geopolitics support demand but cap prices – Commerzbank

Finance  Gold: Geopolitics support demand but cap prices – Commerzbank  Commerzbanks strategists report that Gold has faced pressure from higher Oil prices and shifting US rate expectations, even briefly dipping below USD 4,500. While World Gold Council (WGC) data show robust investment and central bank demand, they warn that a prolonged Hormuz blockade raises downside risks, with only cautious upside on any Middle East détente.  Investment demand offsets macro headwinds  “The gold price has come under renewed pressure following the rise in oil prices, as this has also pushed US interest rate expectations higher. In March, the market temporarily shifted from expecting rate cuts to even pricing in a possible rate hike. As a result, gold at times fell below USD 4,500 per troy ounce.”  “The longer the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz continues, the greater the downside risks for gold are likely to become. Conversely, the market is likely to react only very cautiously with gold purchases to any rapprochement between the US and Iran in the negotiations, as signals in this direction have recently tended to be disappointed rather quickly.”  “And the outlook? Fundamentally, the WGC sees gold demand as well supported by geopolitical factors. These will drive central bank purchases, demand for

WLFI token falls 18% as governance vote branded a scam

The vote has already passed the required number of votes by 657%.  The proposal will keep 17 billion early supporter WLFI tokens from being tradeable for another two years. After this, a two-year “linear vest” will take place, where the tokens will be gradually unlocked for the market.  This means some early investors will have to wait another four years to see the entirety of their WLFI tokens unlocked.  Yes votes were also practically coerced into voting, as WLFI stated that token holders voting against “will continue to be locked indefinitely,” and restricted to just governance vote participation.  The vote wasnt well-received  In the WLFI forum, theres a mix of support and discontent over the two-year locking schedule and two-year vesting period.  Some outright called WLFI a “scammer.” This response was also common across X in response to WLFIs announcement.  Indeed, some users implied that the vote wasnt democratic and that it was already predetermined. One user mocked the project for suggesting it was “community governance.”  As crypto trader White Whale said, “Proposal: agree with our absurd plan or lose your tokens forever.”  Users mocked the vote for coercing mechanics.  One of WLFIs biggest former supporters, Tron CEO Justin Sun, is now suing the firm over its blacklisting of his

Sports Betting with Bitcoin in 2026: Sites, Features, and Limits

Bitcoin has moved from a niche payment method to a standard option across online sportsbooks. In 2026, it plays a defined role: fast settlement, global access, and reduced reliance on banking systems. At the same time, it introduces its own constraints—volatility, network fees, and platform-specific limits.  This guide breaks down how Bitcoin betting works, what features matter, where platforms differ, and what limits to expect.  How Bitcoin Sports Betting Works  The core flow is simple:Deposit BTC to a sportsbook walletPlace bets priced either in BTC or converted fiat valueSettle wagers after the eventWithdraw BTC back to your wallet  Most platforms such as Dexsport abstract the blockchain layer. Deposits are credited after confirmations, while withdrawals depend on internal processing plus network conditions.  Two models dominate:Wallet-based betting – connect a crypto wallet or deposit directlyAccount-based betting – create an account and use BTC as a payment method  The difference matters for custody and privacy.Key Features That Matter in 20261. Transaction Speed and Finality  Bitcoin remains slower than newer chains. Typical confirmation times range from 10 minutes to an hour depending on network congestion. Some platforms credit deposits after 1–2 confirmations; others require more.2. Fees  BTC transaction fees fluctuate. During peak demand, they can rise sharply. Many sportsbooks absorb deposit fees

Solana news: Germany’s AllUnity expands EURAU to Solana as euro stablecoins gain traction

AllUnity, a joint venture backed by DWS, Flow Traders and Galaxy Digital (GLXY), took its euro-backed stablecoin, EURAU, to the Solana blockchain, extending the tokens reach to a high-speed network often used for payments and trading.  EURAU, which debuted last July on Ethereum, is fully reserved and issued under a regulated e-money framework aligned with the European Unions MiCA rules, the company said in an emailed statement. By adding Solana, AllUnity aims to offer faster settlement and lower transaction costs for euro-denominated transfers.  The setup allows businesses and developers to move euros onchain in seconds. Payments firms, for example, could send cross-border payouts to contractors in real time instead of waiting days for bank transfers, and the same mechanism can also support trading, lending or treasury management using a stable euro unit.  The move reflects growing interest in non-dollar stablecoins, especially in Europe, where firms seek digital assets that meet regulatory standards. While U.S. dollar tokens dominate the $300 billion stabelcoin market, euro-pegged tokens have seen rapid growth, doubling since the start of 2025 to almost $1 billion.  The S&P projected the market could reach 570 billion euros ($672 billion) by 2030. French Finance Minister Roland Lescure called for more euro-denominated stablecoins and urged
