Washington sanctions crypto platforms linked to Iran for the first time

News Brief
For the first time, the U.S. has slapped sanctions on crypto platforms linked to Iran—a move that's rattled markets and escalated geopolitical friction. As Middle East conflicts intensify and regulators crack down harder, Bitcoin is tumbling. What does this mean for your portfolio and worldwide stability? Washington's targeting of Tehran-connected digital currencies isn't merely about account freezes anymore; rather, it represents a fundamental transformation in governments weaponizing financial instruments against rivals. Crypto, once believed untouchable by state control, now finds itself directly targeted. Consequently, traders are absorbing serious blows, with prices gyrating unpredictably and anxiety proliferating rapidly. Many investors question whether their assets remain secure and if additional nations will adopt similar tactics. Beyond immediate financial impacts, I believe this could fundamentally alter how countries deploy economic leverage, potentially destabilizing markets further while clouding crypto's trajectory.

For the first time, the United States targets crypto platforms linked to Iran, triggering a shockwave in the markets and a geopolitical escalation. Bitcoin free fall, Middle East tensions, and tightened regulation: what are the risks for investors and global stability?

‘Alien Earth’ Composer Jeff Russo Dives Into Score For FX Series

The post ‘Alien Earth’ Composer Jeff Russo Dives Into Score For FX Series appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. FX’s Alien: Earth — Pictured: Timothy Olyphant as Kirsh. Courtesy of Patrick Brown/FX The following contains certain spoilers for Alien: Earth! When it came time to marry picture and music for FX’s Alien: Earth, series creator Noah Hawley did what he’s done for close to 20 years: call up Jeff Russo. “[He] said, ‘I’m adapting the Alien IP, for television. What do you think, musically?’” Russo recalls over Zoom. “We started talking and I began writing music for it. It seemed like…not a foregone conclusion, but a conversation that was being had.” A founder of Tonic and a previous member of Low Stars, the composer has scored all of Hawley’s film and television projects since The Unusuals (2009). “Everything I’ve learned about making music for storytelling, I learned by doing with him,” Russo adds. “He really knows what he wants. And when you have a confident filmmaker that is also open to artistic collaboration, it’s the best of all the worlds.” The first small screen translation of the nearly 50-year-old franchise known for straddling horror, sci-fi, and action genres, Alien: Earth takes place two years before the events of the 1979 original and nearly six decades before Aliens. “We talk a lot about trying to figure out what the underlying property is making our audience feel,” Russo explains. “Trying to create a unique narrative and way of telling the story, but at the same time, making the audience feel that same feeling. In this case, there’s that feeling of dread. There’s that tense, eerie feeling created with such a deft hand in Alien. And then [came Aliens, which was] such a great action piece. So how are we going to take those two ideas and sort of mix them together, have that be something unique and different, while eliciting the…
