| Anchorage Digital under investigation by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for possible transnational money laundering According to a report by Barron's, citing people familiar with the matter, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's El Dorado Task Force has recently contacted several former employees of Anchorage Digital Bank to investigate its business compliance issues. The task force is mainly responsible for transnational money laundering and financial crime cases, and the specific content of the investigation has not yet been made public. Anchorage is the only federally chartered crypto bank in the United States. In 2022, it was issued a consent order by the OCC for anti-money laundering and bank secrecy law compliance issues. A company spokesperson responded that the relevant reports were "based on speculation" and said it would cooperate with any formal investigation. Anchorage provides custody services for BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF, with custody assets exceeding US$50 billion in 2024. Its clients include Coinbase, BitGo, and Cantor Fitzgerald. (Cointelegraph) |
| The number of US crypto lobbying groups has increased sharply, and the industry is worried about resource duplication and reduced efficiency As the US cryptocurrency policy environment becomes increasingly active, more than 12 major lobbying organizations are active in Washington, including the Digital Chamber, the Blockchain Association, and the Crypto Innovation Council (CCI). Recently, new organizations such as the Solana Policy Institute (SPI) and the National Cryptocurrency Association (NCA) have also been added. Although industry leaders generally believe that "there is strength in numbers", some former policy advisers are concerned that multiple organizations have a high degree of overlap in membership, funding, and goals, which may lead to waste of resources and excessive bombardment of policymakers. The Stand With Crypto movement led by Coinbase and the supportive political action committee Fairshake are also promoting policy changes. Last year, it invested more than $100 million to support pro-crypto candidates. As the new Congress advances a number of key crypto bills (covering market regulation, stablecoins, DeFi, proof of reserves, etc.), leadership changes have occurred in multiple organizations, such as Kristin Smith leaving the Blockchain Association to join the Solana Policy Institute, and Perianne Boring, founder of the Digital Chamber of Commerce, also withdrew from daily management and only retained a board position.

| Mantra CEO: OM token recovery is a top priority, but it’s still early days Mantra CEO John Mullin responded to community concerns after the sharp drop in OM tokens, saying that the project is driving the recovery of tokens, and the repurchase and destruction plan is still in the early stages of development. He emphasized that restoring OM tokens is the top priority, and denied the allegations that the team controls 90% of the token supply and major investors are selling, calling the relevant claims "baseless" and has issued a community transparency report to clarify. Mullin pointed out that the current largest holder of OM on the exchange is OKX, accounting for 14% of the circulation, or about 130 million tokens. He also mentioned that the $109 million ecological fund established with strategic investors will continue to invest in supporting ecological development. Regarding the recent transfer of 38 million OMs to Binance cold wallets, he said it was a return operation after the end of the staking plan. In addition, Mullin revealed that part of the liquidation came from an unnamed exchange that stopped maintaining collateral positions, triggering chain selling pressure. (Cointelegraph) |

| South Korea blocks 14 cryptocurrency exchanges from Apple App Store The Financial Services Commission (FSC) of South Korea announced on April 11 that the apps of 14 crypto exchanges including KuCoin and MEXC were blocked in the Apple App Store due to unregistered operations. Previously, the Google Store had blocked 17 unregistered platforms on March 26. The FSC stated that these platforms are suspected of serving Korean users as overseas unregistered virtual asset operators, posing risks of money laundering and user losses. The Financial Information Analysis Unit (FIU) will continue to promote the banning of websites and applications of such platforms. According to FSC regulations, unreported virtual asset service activities are criminal offenses, punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine of 50 million won (about US$35,000).

In the first quarter of 2025, the network's dApp fee income reached US$1.014 billion. Coinbase's Layer2 network Base ranked second, with dApp fee income of US$193 million, reflecting a certain growth, but still a gap compared with Ethereum. BNB Chain's dApp fee income was US$170 million, and Arbitrum's ecosystem fee income was US$73.8 million. Avalanche's C-Chain ranked in the top five, with dApp fee income of US$27.68 million.

| As the US Dollar Weakens, Circle's Euro Stablecoin EURC Surpasses All-Time High Circulation |
| Fed's Bostic: Bold moves 'in either direction' would be imprudent Federal Reserve Chairman Bostic said uncertainty surrounding the Trump administration's tariffs and other policies has brought the U.S. economy to a "big pause," and he suggested the Fed should stay put until the situation becomes clearer. "Where the economy will land depends critically on the details of where policy lands," he said. "Because we don't know yet, that's another reason why I think it would be imprudent to take policy actions that are too bold in any direction." Bostic said tariffs could push up prices, meaning it could take longer than he previously thought, possibly until 2027, for inflation to fall back to the Fed's 2% target. At the same time, he said, economic growth is likely to slow, with GDP growth this year to be above 1%, but less than half of its recent pace. Bostic did not say whether he still believes the Fed will cut interest rates once this year, a view he expressed in March. (Jinshi) |
| Circle’s Euro Stablecoin EURC Issuance Soars to All-Time High as Dollar Weakens The supply of Circle's euro stablecoin EURC hit a record high, and demand for euro-denominated digital assets may be boosted as U.S. trade tensions increase and the dollar weakens.

| Gensyn CEO: No tokens have been issued, beware of being deceived Gensyn co-founder and CEO Ben posted on the X platform: "Gensyn has not issued any tokens.

If you are in a Telegram group claiming to be Gensyn, you have encountered a scammer." |
| $7.4 million stolen from KiloEx, is it a code vulnerability or embezzlement? The circulating market value of the token is less than 10 million US dollars, raising questions about whether the team has the ability to pay compensation. |
| DeFiance Capital founder: Projects colluding with market makers to manipulate prices is the biggest problem plaguing the crypto market Arthur, founder and chief investment officer of DeFiance Capital, wrote on the X platform that the biggest problem plaguing the current liquid cryptocurrency market is how projects and market makers work together to create artificial prices that can be maintained for a long time, and this process is completely in a black box state. You can't tell whether the price is determined by the real supply and demand relationship, or simply because the project and the market maker collude to manipulate the price to achieve other goals. What is incredible is that centralized exchanges (CEX) are completely blind to this, and the altcoin market is increasingly becoming a "lemon market" with a lack of confidence. Not to mention that the pricing of most token initial offerings (TGEs) this year is simply a joke. They fell 70% to 90% within a few months of listing, and anyone who bought in suffered huge losses. If the major players in the industry do not step up to improve this situation, most of the market will still be unable to attract investment in the foreseeable future. |

| By the end of 2024, the total size of CeFi loans will be US$11.2 billion, down 68% from the historical peak in 2022. Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy Digital, said in an article on X that based on a review of public documents, bankruptcy documents, and voluntary disclosures by active lenders, by the end of 2024, the total size of centralized finance (CeFi) loans was $11.2 billion, down 68% from the historical peak (ATH) of $34.8 billion in 2022. By the end of 2024, the largest CeFi lenders by outstanding loan book size were: Tether, Galaxy, Ledn, Coinbase, Maple, Unchained, Centrifuge, Goldfinch, Arch, and TrueFi. While DeFi is fairly transparent, CeFi lending is more opaque. However, when combined, the outstanding loan market size is about $30 billion. Today, the outstanding loan market size of DeFi has surpassed CeFi. If you add in collateralized debt position (CDP) stablecoins such as DAI, the size will exceed $35 billion. In fact, DeFi currently accounts for more than 60% of the cryptocurrency lending market. |

| Analysis: Market focuses on Powell's speech this week, interest rate cut expectations and global recession risks remain in focus Carlos Guzman, research analyst at crypto market maker GSR, said market participants will be closely watching Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's speech this week. They are eager to understand the Fed's position on a potential recession. "When the tariff suspension was announced, the main concern was that it could lead to a massive economic contraction. At that time, the market expected that there might be four rate cuts this year," he said. After Trump announced a 90-day suspension of most tariffs last week, expectations of recession have declined, and expectations of rate cuts have also weakened. However, Guzman mentioned that the market still expects more rate cuts now than before Trump announced the tariff suspension. "If the global economic situation looks bad, the Fed may adopt more stimulus policies. This may be a medium-term positive for cryptocurrencies, although the impact may be smaller in the short term due to recent volatility." (Decrypt) |

| Solana has implemented SIMD-0207, increasing the block limit by 4% With the implementation of SIMD-0207, Solana engineers have increased the chain’s block size by 4%. This change allows more data to be packed into Solana blocks, theoretically allowing more transactions to be packed into a single block, thereby increasing the network’s transaction throughput. SIMD-0207, originally proposed by Anza engineer Andrew Fitzgerald, has been successfully implemented on-chain, raising Solana’s block limit to 50 million CUs, an increase of 4%. Increasing the network’s block limit is just one small step on Solana’s scaling roadmap. Future network governance proposals and upgrades will target continued, incremental improvements to help Solana grow. For example, SIMD-0256 intends to further increase the block limit to 60 million CUs, a 25% increase from pre-SIMD-0207 levels. (SolanaFloor) |

For example: 1. The ProShares 2x Ethereum Inverse ETF (ETHD) listed on the New York Stock Exchange has risen 247% so far this year, making it the best performing ETF in the US market; 2. The T-REX 2X Inverse Ethereum Inverse ETF has a year-to-date return of about 220%, making it the second best performing ETF in the US market.

| Story’s IP Swings 20% in Volatile Trading Session Roller |
| Market analysis: U.S. Treasury bonds appear to be temporarily stabilizing Michael Brown, an analyst at Pepperstone, said in a report that it was "somewhat of a relief" to see U.S. Treasuries rise on Monday. Brown said this may be a weakening of the real fund sell-off that began last week. He said that the yields on both the 10-year and 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds fell on Monday and are now far from the panic levels of last week. However, U.S. Treasuries appear to be on a relatively unstable basis, especially with no signs that policy inconsistency will abate in the short term, and the level of uncertainty remains very high.

| KernelDAO has announced the launch of the $KERNEL token to drive BNB Chain DeFi Staking growth |
| IP tokens fluctuated by 20% in the volatile trading session from last night to early this morning Story Protocol’s IP token plunged 20% in a single trading session between late yesterday and early this morning, giving back all of its gains within hours. In four hours, the IP token price fell from nearly $4 to $3.27, rebounding to over $4 within hours of hitting the day’s low. Most of the volume in this event was concentrated on major exchanges such as Binance and OKX Spot, with over $40 million in trading volume before the crash and $138 million after the rebound. At the time, the broader crypto market was relatively stable, with Bitcoin trading around $84,000 and no apparent general trend affecting altcoins. This made the sudden plunge and rebound of the IP token an isolated incident. There are rumors that a large number of IP tokens, as well as other tokens such as MOVE and LAYER, were sold at a discount through over-the-counter transactions. This has sparked speculation in the crypto community about insider trading or coordinated selling. The volatility has raised early concerns about a similar sell-off to Mantra (OM). Earlier on Sunday, Mantra (OM) plunged 90% in a few hours. (CoinDesk) |

Britain was spared the harshest penalties in Trump's initial tariff announcement because the two sides' trade relationship is roughly balanced. Still, British imports to the United States are now subject to a 10% tariff, while the UK's steel and auto industries are subject to 25%. Officials from the two countries have been in talks for weeks, with an initial focus on strengthening cooperation in artificial intelligence and technology, but it could also expand to food and other goods.

| BTC Volatility 2-week Review (March 31st - April 14th) Bitcoin has held up quite well in the past two weeks despite the chaos in other markets. Last week, the price of Bitcoin hit the initial resistance level of $74k twice, which was formed after the end of the US election last year, and then broke out of the medium-term downward range since January. It is now stuck in the strong support area of $81.8-82.3k, and the strong resistance level above is between $88-90k. Overall, technical indicators show that Bitcoin price may consolidate in the range of $82-88k in the next few weeks, and the current market positions also look cleaner. If the double bottom of $74k continues to hold, it will mark the end of the downward correction period since the election and pave the way for the price of Bitcoin to rise to $115-120k in the next month. |

| US anti-inflation activists launch USDDi stablecoin Two veterans of the U.S. inflation protection and foreign exchange derivatives space have launched USDi, a U.S. dollar stablecoin whose value is determined by the growth of the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) since December 2024. As of April 15, its value was $1.00863. According to Michael Ashton, who began his inflation protection investing career at Barclays in the early 2000s, USDi is equivalent to the principal of TIPS, or in theory, an inflation-protected savings account. According to a statement from USDi Partners LLC, the token will have a value with the same purchasing power as the U.S. dollar in December 2024. USDi will mint and destroy tokens at their marked value, which, like the principal of TIPS, will depend on the CPI of the day. (Bloomberg) |
