Putin's Threat Lands: Britain Left Reading the Silence
Against that backdrop, a Euronext Growth Paris-listed firm called Capital B issued over 13 million shares to raise fresh capital — using the proceeds, per a CoinDesk filing, to add 376 BTC to its corporate treasury.
Putin's Threat Lands: Britain Left Reading the Silence
The Federal Reserve may raise interest rates into an economy already absorbing an active war in the Middle East — and crypto markets are not waiting to find out which way the decision falls. Bitcoin dropped sharply on Wednesday as renewed US-Iran exchanges, now in their seventh month, sent risk assets retreating across the board, according to Yahoo Finance. Gold fell alongside stocks. The pattern, according to analysts cited by CoinDesk, resembles what traders call the "Bart Simpson" formation — a sharp rise followed by an equally sharp collapse — with XRP tracking a near-identical curve.
The macro picture underneath the price action is straightforward and grim: any Fed rate increase at this moment, with oil markets absorbing Iran war risk and European bond spreads already under pressure, would arrive into conditions that have not been seen simultaneously since 2008. Some observers quoted by CoinDesk called it a mistake that would compound an existing shock rather than correct one.
Against that backdrop, a Euronext Growth Paris-listed firm called Capital B issued over 13 million shares to raise fresh capital — using the proceeds, per a CoinDesk filing, to add 376 BTC to its corporate treasury. Someone, at least, is buying.
The number that anchors this moment: Bitcoin had been above $95,000 as recently as August. It is not there now.
When war and rate fear arrive together, the exit door gets narrow fast.
