100 13-04-2026 Oil prices through the roof. Dialogue between Hormuz and the crypto world fails: Tron, ETH, BTC.

Here is an updated summary of the most recent events as of April 13, 2026, based on the provided sources: Geopolitical Escalation: Naval Blockade and Failed Negotiations

• Naval Blockade Begins: The U.S. Central Command (Centcom) announced that the United States will begin a total blockade of maritime traffic entering and leaving Iranian ports today, Monday, April 13, 2026, at 10:00 AM ET. The blockade applies impartially to vessels from all nations but will not impede freedom of navigation for ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz to non-Iranian ports.
• Diplomatic Collapse: This measure follows the failure of peace negotiations in Islamabad, Pakistan, where Vice President J.D. Vance spent 21 hours attempting to reach a consensus. The talks collapsed primarily because Iran refused to commit to not seeking nuclear weapons in the long term.
• War Rhetoric: President Donald Trump stated that U.S. forces are "locked and loaded" to finish what remains of Iran if necessary. In response, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, warned that if the U.S. tests their determination, they will be given "an even greater lesson".

Market Reactions and Digital Assets

• Surging Energy Prices: Oil and gas prices reacted sharply to the blockade announcement. Brent crude rose by as much as 9.1%, approaching $104 per barrel, while European natural gas futures spiked nearly 18%.
• Bitcoin and Volatility: Bitcoin (BTC) dropped below the $71,000 mark as war risks increased. Conversely, the RAVE token saw a speculative surge of over 3,400% in a week, which some analysts view as a sign of a market bubble.
• Real-World Assets (RWA) and Stablecoins: Tokenized U.S. Treasuries reached a record $13.53 billion, led by funds from Circle (USYC) and Blackrock (BUIDL). Additionally, the total market capitalization of stablecoins hit an all-time high of $318.6 billion.

Regulatory Disputes and Project Controversies

• CFTC Authority: CFTC Chairman Mike Selig reaffirmed the agency's "exclusive regulatory authority" over prediction markets, including those for sports and politics. He argued that states cannot override federal oversight in the derivatives market.
• World Liberty Financial (WLFI) vs. Justin Sun: A public dispute has erupted between the Trump-linked DeFi project WLFI and TRON founder Justin Sun. Sun accused WLFI of hiding a "backdoor" function in its smart contracts that allows for the freezing and confiscation of tokens. WLFI dismissed these claims as "baseless" and threatened Sun with legal action, stating, "we’ll see you in court". Amid this controversy, the WLFI token has fallen 83% from its all-time high.
• Security Breach: On April 13, an attacker exploited a vulnerability in the Hyperbridge protocol between Polkadot and Ethereum, minting 1 billion DOT tokens. However, due to low liquidity, the hacker was only able to extract approximately $237,000 in ETH.

Global Political Changes

• Hungary Elections: Viktor Orbán has lost power in Hungary after 16 years. The opposition party, Tisza, led by Peter Magyar, won the parliamentary elections with over 52% of the vote. Magyar plans to prioritize reactivating cooperation within the Visegrád Group and recovering frozen Hungarian assets from the EU.
