According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin’s monitoring, the whale that opened roughly $187 million in high-leverage long positions on the early morning two days ago, betting on a rebound, has had some of its positions liquidated. The whale’s long position of 4,890 ETH, valued at around $11.74 million, was liquidated at $2,356 during today’s 5 AM early morning dip. This liquidation price exactly matches the low point of ETH’s recent early morning flash price pin, and this liquidation may have helped drive the formation of that low.

Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, and Morgan Stanley all viewed tokenization as a business growth opportunity during their third-quarter earnings calls, though none provided specific revenue projections for the sector. Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon noted that tokenization, decentralized finance (DeFi), and prediction markets could drive more products, trading activity, new clients, and distribution channels. The bank is exploring expanded use of Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) tokenization services to cut costs, automate trades, and enhance the efficiency of asset transactions, though its related business remains small for now. Wells Fargo has already leveraged tokenized deposits to process cross-border payments, with funds reaching recipient accounts in as little as two minutes, though transaction volumes remain low at present. Wells Fargo CFO Michael Santomassimo stated that the technology could help the bank expand its cross-border payment business without building out an extensive network of international branches. The bank is also exploring tokenized securities, real-world assets (RWA), and crypto trading services for wealth management clients, though it has not announced a launch timeline. Morgan Stanley CFO Sharon Yeshaya noted that tokenization can speed up and simplify asset transfers, though clients still require investment advice. The bank views the space as a new business opportunity, and did not announce any new products during the calls.

According to Iran's Press TV, Iranian Foreign Minister Alagzi announced that Tehran has put forward a seven-day specific plan aimed at restoring normal navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, with the next steps now in the hands of the United States. Speaking at the 52nd Council of Foreign Ministers meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) held in Baghdad on Saturday, Alagzi stated that Iran has submitted the proposal via Qatar. If necessary conditions are met, Iran is ready to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume normal maritime passage within seven days. Alagzi noted that Iran remains committed to ensuring navigation security in the strategic waterway, adding that the disruption to maritime traffic stems from military aggression by the United States and Israel, as well as subsequent restrictive measures imposed by Washington. “Security cannot be restored by repeating the same actions,” he said. “One cannot bomb a country, threaten to destroy it entirely, impose a blockade, and then expect navigation security to return to normal.” According to Alagzi, maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz recovered to around 60% of pre-conflict levels within two weeks, but subsequent U.S. measures and military operations hindered the implementation of the relevant agreement.
