During Asian trading hours, oil prices continued their decline from Monday, with WTI falling below the $90 mark, briefly approaching $85, a drop of over 10% from its high in two trading days. In the early morning, oil prices rebounded sharply after Trump declared a response to the downing of a US military aircraft by Iran, narrowing the losses by the close. Crude oil prices have seen significantly increased volatility this week, and many uncertainties remain. Foreign media statistics show that US President Trump has declared an agreement "imminent" 37 times, but no agreement has been reached to date. Besides geopolitical factors, supply and demand are also negatively impacting the market. Oil prices have already fallen back to around $90, and the potential for further significant declines in the short term is relatively limited. If US-Iran negotiations do not proceed smoothly, oil prices still have a high probability of rebounding.1. U.S. stock indexes closed mixed.

Lawsuit accuses troubled crypto lender Celsius Network of fraud

On Thursday, a former investment manager at Celsius Network filed a lawsuit against the cryptocurrency lender, alleging that it had frozen client funds and had rigged the price of its own cryptocurrency token using user contributions.


According to the lawsuit, Celsius engaged in "gross mishandling of client deposits" in order to enrich itself and deceived plaintiff KeyFi Inc, controlled by former manager Jason Stone, into delivering services worth millions of dollars while refusing to pay for them.


The complaint was filed in Manhattan's New York state court and demands both specific compensation and punitive damages; Celsius has not yet responded.


Stone's charges come after Celsius decided on June 12 to halt transfers and withdrawals for its 1.7 million clients due to "extreme" market circumstances.


Later, the Hoboken, New Jersey-based business recruited consultants to discuss a potential debt restructure that would include declaring bankruptcy.


While the cryptocurrency hedge fund went into liquidation late last month, the crypto lender Voyager Digital Ltd filed for bankruptcy protection this week.


Celsius guaranteed retail consumers disproportionate returns, up to 19% yearly.


However, Stone said that Celsius had trouble paying investors because it neglected to hedge its bets, leading to "severe" losses when the value of several currencies changed.


He also claimed that Celsius had a $100 million to $200 million hole in its records that it "could not completely explain or rectify" because certain deposits were recorded on a U.S. dollar basis even though clients were paid in bitcoin or other digital currencies.


The case filed on Thursday claims that Stone produced $838 million in profit for Celsius and KeyFi before expenses and overhead from August 2020 to March 2021 while mostly operating without a formal agreement, with KeyFi being entitled to 20% of net profit.


When it became apparent that the hedging difficulties "may be financially ruinous" for Celsius and harm KeyFi's image, Stone claims he ended the connection in March 2021. However, Stone claims that Celsius has refused to accept his resignation.


KeyFi Inc. v. Celsius Network Ltd. et al., New York State Supreme Court, New York County, is the name of the case.
