Brazil's Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (CPI) on Organized Crime rejected Senator Alessandro Vieira's (MDB-SE) final report on Tuesday (April 14), which proposed indicting three Supreme Federal Court (STF) justices and the Attorney General.

Bitcoin briefly surged above $89,000 following softer-than-expected U.S. inflation data on December 18, 2025, but quickly reversed course amid skepticism about the figures.

Altcoins like XRP and Ethereum also fell, with $550 million in liquidations triggered.
