According to CoinDesk, Brazil's state-controlled energy company Petrobras is testing the Cardano blockchain to track statements related to low-carbon fuels.The Cardano Foundation announced two research projects on Wednesday, one focusing on sustainable aviation fuel, which is a low-carbon aviation fuel alternative that can be used in existing aircraft and airports, and the other on Diesel R, which is diesel produced by Petrobras using renewable materials such as vegetable oils and animal fats.The aviation fuel project targets the book-and-claim model in green fuel sales: airlines can pay for the environmental benefits of sustainable fuel, even if the fuel itself is used elsewhere. This model requires recording the benefit attribution and claiming time to avoid double counting the same emissions reduction.The application records the source, recipient, and claiming time of each benefit through Cardano. In real scenarios, passengers can input their departure and destination airports to calculate the corresponding fuel benefits and receive a certificate linking their quota to the original fuel certificate. The diesel project records information on fuel production, transportation, and usage, compiling it into a complete fuel process history, which helps companies report Scope 3 emissions.Frederik Gregaard, CEO of the Cardano Foundation, stated that Brazil has been one of the most stable adopters of Cardano, from government agencies like SERPRO to industrial sectors like SENAI, and Petrobras continues to value the on-chain traceability and transparency.He mentioned that with x402 landing on Cardano and Fireblocks increasing support for Cardano native tokens, institutional interest continues to grow.

Rystad Energy's research predicts that data center developers will turn to on-site fuel cells due to grid congestion, with fuel cell market revenue expected to grow from approximately $2.8 billion in 2025 to about $30 billion by 2030, a tenfold increase. Signed orders amount to approximately 9 gigawatts, including framework agreements with Oracle, AEP, Equinix, and Brookfield.The current access time for large load grids in the United States is three to six years. Rystad Energy expects cumulative fuel cell demand for data centers from 2026 to 2030 to reach 10.4 gigawatts, with about 40% of the U.S. data center capacity in 2030 potentially utilizing on-site generation. North America is expected to account for 91% of global on-site generation installations. The total manufacturing capacity is expected to reach 4 gigawatts per year by 2030, up from the current 1.8 gigawatts. Solid oxide fuel cells account for approximately 53% of cumulative fixed deliveries, with Bloom Energy holding nearly all major load contracts in visible orders.

According to reports from Saudi Arabian television, a senior Iranian official stated that Iran is unable to import enough fuel to compensate for domestic production shortfalls due to the blockade by the U.S. Navy.

According to CoinDesk, Bitfinex analysts released a report stating that derivative traders have largely been washed out during the Bitcoin sell-off at the end of June.Bitcoin fell below $58,000 on July 1, and since then, the average daily liquidation amount has remained well below this year's typical range of $400 million to $500 million, indicating that despite macro shocks, there is little forced selling pressure. The decline in the Bitcoin market is smaller than that of leveraged stock themes because the "fuel" for forced selling has been exhausted.Bitfinex analysts expect that investors will remain defensive ahead of next week's U.S. employment report (the next major macro catalyst after the Federal Reserve meeting).They believe that rather than worrying about a new round of forced liquidations, the more critical question is whether the inflow of spot Bitcoin ETF funds can return once the market has a clearer judgment on the Federal Reserve's path.The analysts wrote, "We believe that positions will remain defensive as long as the risk of Federal Reserve interest rate hikes persists. Whether institutional buyers are active or insensitive to prices is the signal that traders have yet to see."

According to Jinshi reports, the United States is preparing to expand its operations against Iran by deploying about 100 refueling aircraft to the Middle East.Israeli defense agencies are preparing for a potential significant escalation in the region.

According to Jinshi reports, the U.S. military is redeploying forces to the Middle East, with 5 aerial refueling aircraft already heading to Israel, and dozens more reinforcements to follow.

According to Jinshi reports, the Federal Reserve's Beige Book shows that respondents generally expect the U.S. economy to continue expanding in the coming months, but several districts pointed out that there remains a high level of uncertainty regarding fuel cost prospects.

According to Jinshi, the U.S. April PCE data will be released at 20:30 Beijing time tonight, and the market generally expects the year-on-year increase to rise to a three-year high. With the impact of energy prices not yet dissipated and inflation in the service sector remaining sticky, if the data confirms the acceleration of inflation, the Federal Reserve's return to a hawkish stance will gain strong support.

Sources close to the White House say that as the Iran war enters its second month, senior White House aides and government officials are discussing the possibility of oil prices soaring to $150 a barrel or even higher records.Two industry officials in contact with the White House indicated that White House officials are assessing the impact of high oil prices on the economy and considering measures to reduce costs, including the use of additional emergency powers. Trump has also received reports from the Treasury Department regarding the recent outlook for energy prices. The U.S. Treasury currently believes that oil prices may remain above $100 a barrel for some time.Sources say the government views this figure as a "baseline" and does not rule out the possibility of oil prices rising to $200 a barrel. Another informed official revealed that the government is trying every possible idea to alleviate oil prices, including exercising emergency powers and responding to supply chain disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz for defense reasons.

Trump stated on social media that yet another fake news media outlet deliberately fabricated a misleading headline regarding the situation of five refueling aircraft shot down at an airport in Saudi Arabia, but this information is completely useless.In fact, the base was hit days ago, but those planes were not "shot down" or "destroyed." Four of them were barely damaged and have already returned to flight capability. One was damaged more severely, but it will soon be back in operation. Not a single one was destroyed or close to being destroyed, as the fake news media claimed in their headlines. The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (especially these two media outlets) and other such inferior "newspapers" and media actually hope we lose this war. Their terrible reporting is completely contrary to the actual facts! They are truly pathological and insane people who do not understand the damage they are causing to America.Fortunately, as demonstrated by our great and decisive electoral victory in 2024, the people of our nation have a far better understanding of what is happening than those fake news media.

According to CoinDesk, amidst the impact of the Middle East conflict on global stock markets and commodities, Bitcoin has risen against the trend, reaching a one-month high and helping to revitalize the overall cryptocurrency market. After falling nearly 50% from its historical high in October last year, Bitcoin had once been in the oversold territory.Following the outbreak of this round of key conflicts, traditional assets have significantly declined, while BTC's relatively strong performance has reinforced its temporary "safe-haven narrative." Market analysis suggests that this round of increase is mainly driven by three factors:The return of the "fiat currency depreciation" logic, as the intensifying Middle East conflict exacerbates global fiscal pressures, which may lead to expectations of more easing and deficit expansion, strengthening the "fiat currency depreciation" narrative, prompting some funds to be reallocated to digital assets.There may be expectations for a de-escalation in the Middle East situation. Although there has been no response from the U.S., this news has strengthened market expectations that "the conflict may not spiral out of control for a long time," supporting the recovery of risk asset sentiment.The CLARITY Act is close to being passed, aiming to clarify the legal status of stablecoins, which is beneficial for the cryptocurrency market.

According to Bloomberg, hedge funds that once fueled the U.S. Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) craze are rapidly withdrawing.Data compiled by CF Benchmarks, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the crypto trading platform Kraken, shows that the total allocation of Bitcoin ETFs held by the largest hedge funds has decreased by 28%. Gabe Selby, head of research at CF Benchmarks, wrote in a research report on February 19: "The dominant theme over the past two quarters has been hedge funds' de-risking operations. The spike and subsequent drop in October seem to have triggered systematic reductions." Brevan Howard significantly adjusted its position in BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust, becoming the largest seller of this spot ETF in the fourth quarter. Its holdings decreased by about 86% to 5.5 million shares, reducing the value of its spot position from approximately $2.4 billion to $275 million. Bitcoin prices have fallen alongside macro risks, and at certain stages, the declines were even greater, undermining the logic previously presented to institutional investors—that Bitcoin could hedge against inflation, currency devaluation, or stock market pressures.

Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital) founder Yi Lihua stated that after ten years in the crypto industry, he has encountered significant setbacks in both secondary market false tops and primary investments. It is precisely because of these experiences and the tuition paid that he has realized the true core of the crypto field is to continuously enhance the understanding of investment and trading, to firmly believe in trend investing, to ignore short-term fluctuations, to be greedy when others are fearful, and to be fearful when others are greedy.Recently, the bears are making their last efforts, betting on a four-year cycle, the AI bubble in the US stock market, and declining liquidity in 1011. However, all of this has failed, and all their short positions will become fuel for a short squeeze when the market rises. In the end, I hope everyone focuses on the research of investment and trading, respects all professional investment research analysts, as this is the real business and the right path to focus on. Liquid Capital will also closely monitor true masters and continue to strive for learning and improvement.

According to Cointelegraph, Argentina's state-owned energy company YPF is considering allowing drivers to pay for gasoline and diesel with cryptocurrency.Insiders say that the plan may rely on third-party processing agencies rather than direct wallet payments, with local and international platforms such as Lemon, Ripio, or Binance responsible for handling currency exchange. If the system is adopted, its operation will be similar to YPF's existing dollar purchase method. Customers will need to scan a QR code to transfer funds to YPF's account at Banco Santander, and the application will display the corresponding peso amount, along with a reference exchange rate determined by the buying price from Banco Nación.
