JUNE 20 – Per Axios, a U.S. official says that U.S. envoy Wietkoff is heading to Switzerland. The official notes that Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, is already in the country. Separately, sources indicate Iranian Foreign Minister Aragchi plans to travel to Switzerland on Saturday, though his plans could still change. Aragchi has informed several foreign ministers that a ceasefire in Lebanon is critical for Iran and “decisive” for U.S.-Iran negotiations. Iranian officials emphasize they want the ceasefire to be fully implemented before their team travels to Switzerland. A source adds that negotiations may not start until no earlier than Monday, though the overall schedule remains subject to change. (FXStreet)

On June 20, Axelar Network announced it has identified a security incident involving assets transferred from the Axelar Chain to Secret Network via the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol, leading to the theft of approximately $4.67 million in tokens. Axelar says the issue is limited to the ICS-20 smart contract on Secret’s end within the Cosmos IBC connection linking the two blockchains—this contract is used exclusively for bridging assets from Axelar to Secret. In response, Axelar’s emergency committee immediately disabled its Secret and Secret-SNIP connections, and the project is reaching out to relevant cryptocurrency exchanges and law enforcement authorities. The incident is confined to assets bridged from Axelar to Secret via IBC; other IBC connections, Secret-native tokens, additional Axelar integrations, and the core Axelar protocol remain unaffected. The team is preparing a detailed post-incident analysis report.

June 20: JPMorgan Wealth Management is teaming up with Cboe to roll out all-or-nothing options contracts that let clients place binary bets on the S&P 500 Index’s performance, per The Wall Street Journal. People briefed on the matter say these contracts differ slightly from prediction-market offerings from platforms like Kalshi or Polymarket—those platforms trade futures, not options. Still, the binary options work the same way: if the index finishes above or below the target level, the contract pays out a fixed cash sum; if not, it pays out zero. JPMorgan Wealth Management expects to make these contracts available to clients over the next few months, according to the same sources.

On June 20, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that roughly 700 ships are currently transiting the Strait of Hormuz. He insisted Iran has 60 days to reach an agreement, otherwise the U.S. will take actions that Tehran won’t be pleased with. However, Trump added that he believes the situation won’t escalate to that point. “Remember, if we do that, then oil flowing through the Strait of Hormuz will immediately halt,” he said. “Those operators of ships worth billions of dollars won’t tolerate missiles flying over their heads, nor will they want waters full of sea mines,” he noted, per Golden Finance.

WASHINGTON, June 20 (AP) — President Donald Trump’s approval rating stands at 37% in the latest AP-NORC poll, holding steady from the prior month and showing no meaningful shift following the U.S. and Iran’s preliminary agreement to end their war. The survey, conducted June 11 to 17 among roughly 3,040 U.S. adults, has a margin of error of ±2.8%. Trump’s approval rating for his handling of the Iran conflict also remains stable, staying at 34%. Still, 53% of respondents say the U.S. has been “too aggressive” in its military actions toward Iran. That figure is 6 percentage points lower than in March, though it still represents a clear majority of those polled. Even with the preliminary ceasefire between the two nations and short-term economic relief including falling oil prices, the public retains significant skepticism about the conflict’s stated objectives and the effectiveness of related policies, the poll finds. Since the U.S. military launched actions against Iran in Feb

**June 20, 2026** In the first quarter of 2026, total global space launch mass hit roughly 647,000 kilograms, representing an 18% year-over-year increase. SpaceX led all operators with 556,000 kilograms—more than 13 times the amount of the second-place competitor—cementing its status as the source of around 86% of the world’s total launch capacity. Elon Musk commented on the milestone, stating: “Once Starship achieves a per-hour launch cadence, SpaceX’s orbital mass delivery will be approximately 100 times that of all other operators combined, even if those operators triple their current launch frequency.” While Starship hasn’t yet entered high-frequency commercial operation, SpaceX already holds overwhelming dominance via its Falcon rocket series. Analysts point out that once Starship is fully operational at scale, the global space landscape will undergo a historic transformation.
