Iran continues to harbor a deep distrust of the United States and does not understand why the U.S. broke off talks during the last negotiations in Pakistan, CNN reported, citing an Iranian source. It remains unclear whether Iran's latest proposal is sufficient to bring both sides back to the negotiating table. The source indicated that Tehran might consider resuming negotiations if the U.S. lifts its blockade on Iranian ports and Iran, in turn, fully reopens the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. has maintained that Iran must unconditionally allow all vessels to pass through the strait, but it has not been confirmed if Iran's latest proposal includes this concession.

Ark Invest, led by Cathie Wood, has made a bold prediction in its annual 'Big Ideas' report, forecasting that Bitcoin's market capitalization will reach $16 trillion by 2030. This represents a more than 10-fold increase from its current level of around $1.5 trillion, implying a compound annual growth rate of 63%. The report identifies the full-scale entry of institutional investors as the key driver for this growth. It analyzes that the launch of spot ETFs, inclusion in corporate treasuries, and adoption as a national reserve asset will accelerate, firmly establishing Bitcoin as a new institutional asset class. Specifically, the report estimates that if Bitcoin captures 40% of the total gold market's value as 'digital gold,' this scenario alone could add approximately $10 trillion to its market cap. In this process, Ark Invest projects that the price per BTC will surpass $730,000, with the total cryptocurrency market size expanding to $28 trillion.
