According to U.S. financial media outlet Semafor, U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest move to avoid escalating military actions against Iran comes as Washington views talks between Iran and Oman—previously seen as a rare, productive negotiation channel—as deadlocked. A U.S. official and a White House official stated that the U.S. government believes the Iran-Oman talks collapsed several weeks ago. The talks had raised the possibility of a toll agreement for the Strait of Hormuz, a development that frustrated Trump. The Omani Embassy did not respond to the U.S.’s assessment of its negotiations. However, Trump still describes the situation with Iran as “very good” and remains optimistic that economic pressure can force Tehran to return to the negotiating table, even though he has halted future talks for the foreseeable future. Last night, Trump posted on social media threatening to launch an “economic war” against Iran, saying the U.S. will impose sanctions on any country that does business with Tehran. (Jin10)

Whale codenamed "First Set 10 Big Goals" has once again cut losses by significantly reducing its short positions in Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). The cumulative reduction amounts to 1,169.625 BTC and 24,684.515 ETH.

According to monitoring from TradingBeats, the "BIT-linked whale" that once faced an unrealized loss of roughly $88.5 million has finally seen ETH prices rebound to near its cost basis, without selling a single one of its 120,000 ETH. As of press time, the whale’s four addresses collectively hold approximately 120,000 ETH, with a position value of around $271 million and an average entry price of $2,261.23. With ETH’s rally, the position was fully unlocked this morning, and amid a minor pullback, it now carries an unrealized loss of roughly $108,000. The entity has held its position since completing entry, repeatedly topped up its margin, and weathered the nearly $88.5 million paper loss to wait for a price rebound. Its latest liquidation price has fallen to around $1,195.95. Including the roughly $4.9 million in cumulative funding fees paid since opening the position, the whale has not yet fully recouped its costs; however, on a price basis, the unrealized loss has almost been completely erased.
