The global financial landscape continues to transform at a dizzying pace. And Bitcoin, once seen as a risky bet, has gradually established itself as an asset of choice for large institutional investors.

As the global economy wavers between geopolitical uncertainties and monetary adjustments, one asset continues to attract the attention of investors: Bitcoin.

Uncertainty is palpable as investors eagerly await the release of the second quarter GDP and speeches from Fed officials, which could provide important clues about the health of the American economy and the future direction of the markets.

North Korea, traditionally isolated on the international stage, seems to be intensifying its efforts to align with economic blocs like the BRICS, amid growing ties with Russia. This strategy could have major implications, not only for Pyongyang's diplomacy but also for global geopolitics. The notable absence of North Korea at the United Nations General Assembly in favor of a BRICS event in St. Petersburg is a warning sign.
