BITCOIN $68,206 | GOLD $4,480

1. Blackstone posts first credit loss in three years
-- Reuters: flagship private credit fund recorded monthly loss; eighth major institution flagging systemic stress in two weeks.
-- Contagion chain now Goldman, BlackRock, PIMCO, BofA, Davidson Kempner, UBS, Blackstone; war burning $1.9B/day with zero Fed cuts at BTC $68,206.

2. Houthis expected to open Red Sea front within days
-- Kann News: Iran and Hezbollah pressuring Houthis to attack US and Israeli shipping, adding eleventh nation to conflict.
-- Would threaten second major chokepoint alongside Hormuz at 100%; oil defying record 400M-barrel release at $98.23.

3. Gold crash hits $708 below war peak, worst in decades
-- Down to $4,480 from $5,188 twelve days ago; every legacy haven broken simultaneously during ten-nation war.
-- BTC $68,206 approaching $65K structural floor but still sole major asset retaining any war gains since Feb 28.

4. BTC slides to $68.2K, $65K final support in sight
-- Down $7.8K from Monday's $76K war-era high; post-Powell hawkish hold and global tightening compounding pressure.
-- Every prior war drawdown held above $65K; ETF 30-day inflows at highest since October and Fed stealth Treasury purchases provide structural floor.
