Vietnam becomes regional crypto leader with new digital asset law

Daily top performer — Pendle (PENDLE)



The S&P 500 rose 0.94% Monday as investors shrugged off Middle East tensions, turning attention to the Fed and retail sales data. Gold rebounded near $3,380 as Israel-Iran tensions and trade fears boosted safe-haven demand. A dovish Fed outlook could push prices toward $3,500 despite a stronger US Dollar. The Coindesk Indices, which tracks the broader crypto market, rose 1.54%, with Bitcoin and Ether up 3.19% and 6.80%, respectively in the past 24 hours.
