Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee said that the artificial intelligence (AI) and cryptocurrency sectors are gradually integrating, with tokenization and agentic AI poised to become the two key drivers of the next crypto market cycle. Lee noted that BlackRock anticipates more assets will be tokenized, and financial settlement infrastructure is increasingly being built on crypto networks; some fintech firms, including Revolut, have already begun developing related businesses on Ethereum.

Iranian Foreign Minister Al-Araghchi said Sunday local time that the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz depends on whether the U.S. meets Iran’s proposed conditions, adding that resolving the current impasse through negotiations remains feasible. Iran had earlier tabled conditions including halting U.S. "aggressive acts", ending the maritime blockade and economic warfare, and unfreezing Iranian assets. U.S. President Donald Trump said Saturday he had rejected Iran’s latest conditional proposal. The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) cited U.S. officials as saying Trump may resume bombing Iran after the November midterm elections. Meanwhile, the Navy of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed Sunday it had seized a U.S. military Remus 600 unmanned underwater vehicle in the Strait of Hormuz, and that the device had been handed over to relevant personnel for data extraction. U.S. Central Command has not yet issued an immediate comment on the incident. Affected by the Iran-U.S. conflict, energy transport in the Middle East has been severely restricted. WTI crude oil closed at $92.41 per barrel this week, down 7.9% week-on-week; Brent crude oil closed at $104.32 per barrel, remaining roughly flat over the week.
