According to Fox News, Kate Middleton has unexpectedly withdrawn from her scheduled appearance at Royal Ascot on June 18, 2025 (source: Fox News Twitter). While this event primarily affects the entertainment and public sectors, high-profile royal news often triggers shifts in UK market sentiment, especially among trading sectors sensitive to public confidence like retail and luxury goods. Historically, major royal events and announcements have also influenced British pound (GBP) volatility and attracted attention from global crypto traders seeking arbitrage opportunities between GBP and stablecoins such as USDT. Traders should closely monitor GBP and UK-centric crypto pairs for short-term volatility as headlines circulate (source: Fox News).
