Trump Suggests Pence Teaming Up with Rubio for 2028 Presidential Election

June 4 — Sources cited by Al Arabiya report that the agreement to unfreeze Iran’s frozen funds is in its final stages, with the primary hurdle being the disposal structure for a portion of those assets. A proposal to establish a special fund to hold Iran’s frozen overseas assets is currently under discussion. Separately, Trump has informed the mediator that he opposes releasing funds to Iran prior to the formal signing of the agreement. The special fund framework could allow for gradual, internationally supervised fund disbursement, potentially bridging the divide between U.S. concerns over Iran gaining immediate access to cash and Iran’s demand for tangible economic relief. Giuseppe Dellamotta, an analyst at U.S. financial website InvestingLive, stated that the dispute over frozen assets has been a recurring theme throughout the entirety of the negotiation process. Recent weeks’ reports indicate Iranian negotiators have been pushing to unfreeze billions in assets held abroad — parti

June 4 Per data from the Japan Exchange Group, overseas investors net sold roughly ￥395 billion (about $2.5 billion) worth of Japanese stocks in the week ending May 29—ending an eight-week stretch of net purchases. The selloff came as the tech-heavy Nikkei 225 index crossed the 65,000-point threshold for the first time, fueled mainly by AI-linked stocks including SoftBank, Rakuten, and Murata Manufacturing. The Nikkei’s rapid climb has stoked overheating concerns among some market participants, prompting them to lock in profits. Pelham Smithers, Managing Director at UK-based stock research firm Pelham Smithers Associates, noted: “More and more people think AI is forming a bubble. We project that around 70% of Japan’s stock market growth in 2026 will come from AI-related stocks.” He added that as caution grows, some global investors “are looking to exit Japan and shift funds to markets like Europe, where AI is less of a focus.” --- Click the link below to join the Dunchat B

On June 4th, Treehouse announced that its on-chain reference rate TESR (Treehouse Ethereum Staking Rate) has been integrated with Euler to launch DeFi’s first fixed-rate borrowing market anchored to a benchmark reference rate. Users can borrow WETH by posting tETH or wstETH as collateral. The borrowing interest rate is locked in at the start of each monthly cycle, set based on TESR’s 30-day consensus rate, and remains fixed for the entire period—this eliminates the uncertainty caused by volatile borrowing rate swings. The initial live markets for this service include tETH/WETH and wstETH/WETH. Oversight of the market is handled by KPK, a specialized DeFi treasury management firm, which takes charge of professional management and risk control to deliver institutional-grade security and liquidity. Treehouse noted that this move gives DeFi users a new fixed-rate borrowing option, aimed at reducing exposure to fluctuating borrowing cost risks and further advancing the growth of the on-c
