Good morning!!!

* Cuba granted a license to the Spanish firm Bagalso Internacional S.L. to manage digital remittances. The company will be able to deposit funds onto prepaid cards and deliver cash at the counter, acting as a bridge to inject foreign currency into the banking system.
* The SEC expects to approve in the "coming weeks" an exemption that will ease the framework for tokenized assets under supervision.
The agency maintains that tokenized securities remain subject to the same laws, although it seeks to enable a regulated testing environment for issuers.

* COINBASE HAS ONCE AGAIN REJECTED THE SENATE'S COMPROMISE ON STABLECOIN YIELDS.
Coinbase rejects the latest draft of the CLARITY Act, warning that the proposed rules could limit how yields for stablecoins are structured across the industry.
Current regulations prohibit passive yields, while allowing rewards based on activity under a broader standard of "economic equivalence."
Without the backing of Coinbase, the bill faces an uncertain future and could stall indefinitely if it is not approved before May.

* Trump HARDENS HIS TONE AGAINST IRAN:
"I don’t know if I am willing to negotiate with Iran."
"Iran is begging for a deal, not me. The OLD leaders of Iran are DEAD for not achieving a deal."
"I’m not sure if we can or want to reach an agreement with Iran."
"Iran must reach an agreement or face ongoing attacks from the US."
* Ripple, along with the CENTRAL BANK of Singapore, is testing its stablecoin RLUSD in the bank's system to eliminate manual and slow processes.
If all goes well it would be a good time to accumulate $XRP as I always say: you have to buy the rumor, not the news because it's already too late!!! #Xrp🔥🔥
* THE US PLANS THE FINAL STRIKE IN IRAN (GROUND FORCE AND MASSIVE BOMBINGS), ACCORDING TO AXIOS.
Trump threatens with a post to Iran: "take it seriously soon, before it's too late."
"Once that happens, there will be no turning back, and the consequences will be dire."
This comes less than 24 hours before THOUSANDS of extra American troops arrive in the Middle East and the 6 WARSHIPS.
