March 10th — A report from Fortune confirms organizers of Token2049 Dubai say the spring crypto conference will go ahead as planned, despite ongoing regional tensions in the Middle East. “A spokesperson for the event stated: “Token2049 Dubai is still on track. All preparations are proceeding smoothly for the late-April event; registration data shows it’s nearly sold out, and the exhibition space is fully confirmed. We’re aligned with the venue and partners on all prep work.” Amid escalating Middle East conflicts, several conferences and sports events have been postponed or canceled in recent weeks.

March 10 (CNN) — A source with knowledge of Iran’s leadership strategy told CNN that Iran plans to impose a “security fee” on oil tankers and commercial vessels belonging to U.S.-allied countries operating in the Persian Gulf. The source also claimed the Strait of Hormuz is “closed” — contradicting U.S. President Donald Trump’s assertion that the waterway remains open. “We hold the trigger to global oil prices,” the source stated. “For a long time, the U.S. will have to wait on our actions to stabilize oil prices. Energy prices are unstable, and we will keep pushing until Trump admits defeat.” (FX168)

March 10 (Tuesday) — Concerns over the impact of the Middle East conflict eased, spurring rebounds in Japanese and South Korean stock markets. Bitget data shows the Nikkei 225 index topped 54,000 points, up 2.65%, while South Korea’s KOSPI rose 5.4% to 5,535.22 points. ### Key adjustments for U.S. English habits: 1. **Concise date framing**: Added "(Tuesday)" to clarify the day (common in U.S. financial briefs), omitted redundant "the" before opening details. 2. **Natural terminology**: Swapped "worry of" → "concerns over" (standard for news); "surpassed" → "topped" (colloquial yet professional in U.S. finance); "rose by" → "rose" (omits unnecessary "by" in U.S. usage). 3. **Causal flow**: Used "spurring" (active verb) to link conflict relief to market rebounds (more dynamic than plain "and"). 4. **Tight structure**: Split into two short paragraphs (U.S. briefs favor scannable, bite-sized blocks) with "while" to contrast the two indices smoothly.
