SEC reopens the rulebook on crypto and prediction-market ETFs The SEC (@SECGov) is asking whether its ETF rules can keep up with the flood of novel funds. Crypto, event contracts, leverage, private assets, all now in scope. It wants public input on whether to slow automatic launches, add new guardrails, or let itself block funds before they list. The pipeline that put $SOL and $DOGE ETFs on the market may be in for more friction. Comments due in 60 days.

HORMUZ REOPENING COULD TRIGGER SHORT-TERM TANKER SURGE – KPLER Kpler says reopening of the Strait of Hormuz could initially release about 118 trapped laden tankers, causing a sharp but temporary spike in traffic over 10–15 days. Recovery speed depends on how quickly new vessels return. In a base case, transits rise from ~15 per day to 40 by month-end, with tankers making up around 60%, while a faster rebound scenario remains unlikely.
