Bitcoin soars to new all-time high as US lawmakers focus on pro-crypto legislation
by Naharnet Newsdesk 14 July 2025, 17:44 Bitcoin continued its rapid climb and hit another all-time high Monday as U.S. lawmakers begin a week focused on passing pro-crypto legislation. Data from CoinMarketCap showed bitcoin climbed above $123,000 early Monday, up from about $108,000 only a week ago. The world's oldest and most popular cryptocurrency is currently the fifth most valuable asset class in the world at $2.4 trillion, giving it a higher market cap than Amazon. The enthusiasm for bitcoin comes as the U.S. House is set to take up several pieces of cryptocurrency-related legislation in what's been dubbed "crypto week" in Congress. Lawmakers have been under pressure from President Donald Trump and the big-spending crypto lobby to pass legislation quickly. That includes a bill passed last month by the Senate that would regulate a type of cryptocurrency known as stablecoins. The House is also set to take up a cryptocurrency market structure legislation that is far more sweeping. Trump, once a skeptic of the industry, has vowed in his second term to make the U.S. the global capital of crypto. Meanwhile, he and his family have moved aggressively into nearly every corner of the industry: mining operations, billion-dollar bitcoin purchases, a newly minted stablecoin and a Trump-branded meme coin. The crypto industry has rapidly become a major player in Washington after feeling unfairly targeted by the Biden administration. The industry spent huge amounts on last year's elections and has been spending heavily on lobbying and other influence efforts this year. Bitcoin has seen a significant rebound since April, when it briefly dipped below $75,000. Spot bitcoin ETFs are becoming increasingly popular since launching last year and several publicly traded companies have made using debt and stock sales to buy bitcoin their primary business strategy. Created in response to the 2008 financial crisis, bitcoin has taken a highly volatile path to mainstream acceptance. Its backers say the asset is like a "digital gold" that can act as a hedge against central bank and government malfeasance. Only 21 million bitcoins will ever be created. "Bitcoin's price is finally catching up to what's been building under the surface," said Adam Back, CEO of the crypto company Blockstream. "This is institutional demand aligning with bitcoin's fundamentals, and a fixed supply doing what it was designed to do."

Aoun vows to preserve Lebanon's 'territorial integrity'
by Naharnet Newsdesk 6 hours President Joseph Aoun on Monday pledged to preserve Lebanon's territorial integrity, in the wake of the storm of controversy sparked by U.S. envoy Tom Barrack's latest remarks about Lebanon and Syria. 'Lebanon's territorial integrity is a national principle that is enshrined in the constitution and protected by the Lebanese Army and the will of the Lebanese who have offered sacrifices throughout the years to preserve it,' Aoun said. "After my election as president, I took an oath to preserve the country's independence and territorial integrity and mistaken are those who think that he who has taken two oaths to defend a unified Lebanon might break his oath for any reason or might accept any similar proposals,' the president added. As for the thorny issue of Hezbollah's arms, Aoun reiterated that 'the decision to monopolize arms in the hands of the state has been taken, in line with the Taif Accord.' 'This matter, alongside having the decisions of peace and war in the hands of the state, are among the main components and essential principles of any state,' the president added. Barrack has warned in an interview with the UAE's The National newspaper that Lebanon risks being swallowed by regional powers unless it acts to address Hezbollah's arms and implement reforms. 'You have Israel on one side, you have Iran on the other, and now you have Syria manifesting itself so quickly that if Lebanon doesn't move, it's going to be Bilad Al Sham again,' he said, using the historical name for the Syria region. 'Syrians say Lebanon is our beach resort. So we need to move. And I know how frustrated the Lebanese people are. It frustrates me,' he added. Barrack later clarified that his remarks were not a 'threat to Lebanon.' 'My comments … praised Syria's impressive strides, not a threat to Lebanon. I observed the reality that Syria is moving at light speed to seize the historic opportunity presented by @POTUS's (U.S. President Donald Trump's) lifting of sanctions: investment from Türkiye and the Gulf, diplomatic outreach to neighboring countries, and a clear vision for the future,' Barrack said in a post on X. 'I can assure that Syria's leaders only want co-existence and mutual prosperity with Lebanon, and the United States is committed to supporting that relationship between two equal and sovereign neighbors enjoying peace and prosperity,' Barrack added.
