Bitwise Asset Management points out that the recent strength of Bitcoin is not contrary to a risk-averse environment, but is directly driven by geopolitical conflicts. Since the escalation of the situation in the Middle East at the end of February, BTC has risen by about 12%, while the S&P 500 index has fallen by about 1% and gold has dropped by about 10%, showing a clear divergence in performance.Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan and research director Ryan Rasmussen state that Bitcoin is simultaneously embodying two logics: "store of value asset" and "potential international settlement currency." As the financial system becomes "weaponized" and the global payment system fractures, the appeal of non-sovereign neutral assets continues to rise. The report suggests that geopolitical fragmentation is prompting some countries to explore alternative paths to bypass the traditional financial system, such as attempting to introduce Bitcoin settlements in trade. This trend enhances BTC's potential position in the global monetary system. Based on the aforementioned changes, Bitwise indicates that the Bitcoin valuation framework is being reshaped; if it captures both store of value and transaction settlement demand, long-term price expectations may be underestimated, and $1 million could shift from a target ceiling to a "benchmark level."

According to The Block, South Korean payment service provider NHN KCP has signed a memorandum of understanding with Ava Labs to jointly build a Layer 1 network aimed at payment scenarios based on Ava Cloud, covering three main areas: sub-second payment confirmation, on-chain transaction data encryption, and customizable merchant payment infrastructure.The two parties will also explore business opportunities such as tokenized deposit models, multi-stablecoin settlement structures, and cross-border payments. Justin Kim, head of Ava Labs Asia, stated that the launch time of the L1 mainnet will largely depend on the progress of cryptocurrency regulatory regulations in South Korea.

According to official news, the TRON network has officially passed Proposal No. 106 at 20:00 on April 10.According to the proposal, the mainnet has completed adjustments to the behavior and execution cost of the SELFDESTRUCT instruction: the contract will only be truly deleted from the chain when the instruction is called in the same transaction as the contract creation; in other cases, executing the instruction will only transfer the assets within the contract to a designated address, and the contract itself will not be deleted. At the same time, the energy consumption of SELFDESTRUCT has been adjusted from 0 to 5000.This adjustment means that TRON further aligns its relevant mechanisms with Ethereum, helping to continuously enhance the compatibility of TVM (TRON Virtual Machine) and providing more stable underlying support for multi-chain development and ecological adaptation.

As Robinhood accelerates its layout in the prediction market, it has proactively excluded certain contract products due to concerns that they may foster market manipulation and insider trading risks. Robinhood UK President Jordan Sinclair stated that the company is highly attentive to market abuse issues and will not offer all prediction markets or event contracts to users, but will selectively launch products that are more suitable for customers.Recently, several "precise betting" incidents have raised regulatory concerns. For example, there were unusually large bets placed on Polymarket before U.S. actions against Iran; Israeli regulators have also sued two individuals who used confidential information to place bets. Additionally, "mention markets" (such as words that will appear in a speech being bet on) have been explicitly excluded from Robinhood's product range due to their susceptibility to manipulation.Currently, Robinhood primarily provides compliant prediction market services through partnerships with Kalshi and ForecastEx, prioritizing regulated platforms to reduce information abuse and cross-border compliance risks. In contrast, the less regulated Polymarket allows users to trade through cryptocurrency wallets with relatively loose identity verification.Robinhood previously anticipated that prediction markets would become an important growth engine, with CEO Vlad Tenev stating that this business could become one of the fastest-growing segments by 2025, potentially driving the formation of a trillion-dollar annual trading scale in the future.

According to Business Insider, SpaceX executive Michael Nicolls pointed out in a memo sent to xAI employees that the company's training performance is "embarrassingly low" and clearly stated that xAI is "significantly behind" its competitors. Previous reports indicated that xAI is experiencing staff turnover and team adjustments.The memo announced an immediate reorganization of the engineering team, appointing several new leaders responsible for pre-training, post-training, infrastructure, and other modules. This move is part of a comprehensive reconstruction pushed by Elon Musk after SpaceX acquired xAI in February 2026, aimed at quickly catching up with competitors like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.

According to News1, the Financial Services Commission (FSC) of South Korea and the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) announced that they will work together with the Digital Asset Exchange Association (DAXA) and various virtual asset exchanges to officially implement the "Enhanced Withdrawal Delay System." The authorities have strengthened the exception criteria for withdrawal delays and established unified internal regulations. In the future, factors such as the number of transactions, transaction duration, and deposit and withdrawal amounts must be considered.The system aims to prevent telecom fraud proceeds from flowing to external wallets by restricting certain groups, such as new users, from withdrawing virtual assets within a specified period. Due to the inconsistent standards and lack of clear benchmarks among exchanges in the past, this loophole was exploited by criminals. According to statistics, from June to September last year, 59% of the fraudulent accounts in virtual asset exchanges belonged to "exception accounts" subject to withdrawal delays.

The TRON network super representatives (SR) have initiated Proposal No. 106 and entered the committee voting phase. If the proposal passes the vote, it is expected to take effect on April 10 at 20:00 (Singapore time). The proposal aims to adjust the execution behavior and cost of the SELFDESTRUCT instruction: the contract will only be truly deleted if the instruction is called in the same transaction that creates the contract; in other cases, only the contract assets will be transferred, and the contract itself will not be deleted. At the same time, the energy consumption of SELFDESTRUCT will be adjusted from 0 to 5000.If the proposal passes, the relevant mechanism will further align with Ethereum, helping to enhance TVM compatibility. TRON reminds developers who have used SELFDESTRUCT to closely monitor the progress of the proposal and prepare for adaptation in advance. If nodes experience synchronization issues, it is recommended to first check whether they have been upgraded to v4.8.1.

According to Fortune, the private market fund Robinhood Ventures I launched by Robinhood has rebounded about 30% after an initial poor performance. The product was launched in early March and fell 16% on its first day, but has gradually recovered, attempting to provide retail investors with a channel to participate in equity of late-stage private companies.However, analysts warn that with the potential IPOs of tech giants like SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic approaching, the private market may face short-term volatility pressure. If leading companies perform poorly in their IPOs, it could drag down secondary market valuations and affect IPO expectations for unicorns, including Stripe.The head of Robinhood Ventures responded that the aforementioned concerns are more about short-term fluctuations, and there are still numerous investment opportunities in the long term. As AI technology continues to advance, the application ecosystem built around leading models will unleash tremendous growth potential. Currently, the fund primarily invests in a few late-stage companies, including fintech companies Airwallex and Stripe, as well as AI firms like Databricks, acquiring equity through primary market or licensed secondary market transactions.

Michael Barr, a member of the Federal Reserve, stated that the development of stablecoins must be built on strict regulation and warned that without effective constraints, it could repeat the "long history of problems caused by private currencies."In his speech, Barr pointed out that although the GENIUS Stablecoin Act has provided an initial regulatory framework for the industry, the key lies in subsequent enforcement, including ongoing monitoring of reserve assets and mechanisms to prevent illegal uses. He emphasized that stablecoins can only be truly considered "stable" if they can be redeemed at face value under various market conditions. The liquidity and safety of reserve assets are particularly critical during market pressures or when the issuer's own risks increase.Additionally, Barr noted that stablecoin issuers have the incentive to increase yields for profit, which may lead them to take on higher risks in reserve asset management, thus posing a potential threat to financial stability. Currently, the regulatory issues surrounding stablecoins remain one of the significant points of divergence in U.S. cryptocurrency legislation and have, to some extent, affected the progress of related bills.
