According to Argentine media El Destape, forensic experts extracted an unpublished document from intermediary Mauricio Novelli's phone, detailing the payment agreement for the Libra token scam, totaling 5 million dollars, primarily pointing to Argentine President Milei.The document shows that the agreement is divided into three payments: an initial payment of 1.5 million dollars in tokens or cash as an advance; a second payment of 1.5 million dollars, contingent on Milei announcing Hayden Davis (CEO of Kelsier Ventures) as his advisor on Twitter; and a final payment of 2 million dollars, contingent on Milei signing a contract regarding blockchain/AI government consulting in person with his sister Karina. The document was created on February 11, 2025, just three days before Milei posted the relevant tweet and the Libra token went live.Call records have also drawn attention. The forensic report shows that Milei had multiple calls with Novelli within minutes before and after the tweet was posted, and his sister Karina was also in frequent contact; after the token price plummeted that night, Milei's advisor Santiago Caputo joined the call circle late at night, with call records indicating that all parties continued to coordinate in response to the crisis.

Vitalik Buterin posted on the X platform to interpret the Ethereum Foundation's new mission statement, "EF Mandate." He expressed that he will double down on Ethereum and is full of expectations for its future development.Vitalik Buterin pointed out that Ethereum has a unique role in the global digital ecosystem, with its mission being to become a "sanctuary technology" to maintain technological self-sovereignty and promote collaboration in a non-coercive, non-dominant environment. The core goal of Ethereum is to ensure that no individual, organization, or ideology can achieve absolute control in cyberspace and to provide users with an "exit mechanism." The Ethereum Foundation, as the "guardian" of the network, will continue to focus on advancing the CROPS principles, which include censorship resistance and anti-capture, open source, privacy, and security. It will prioritize decentralization, verifiability, network activity, and security at the protocol level while promoting capability upgrades such as account abstraction to reduce reliance on intermediaries.At the application layer, the Ethereum Foundation will strive to create a "zero option" user experience that balances security, privacy, and user autonomy, complementing broader ecosystem projects to jointly promote the development of the Ethereum ecosystem.

According to Cointelegraph, Hester Peirce, a commissioner of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), delivered a speech at the SEC Investor Advisory Committee on Thursday, calling for regulators to simplify the disclosure requirements for public companies and to promote innovative exemption mechanisms for tokenized securities.Peirce pointed out that public companies spend a significant amount of resources preparing mandatory disclosure documents, but the related content often fails to effectively enhance the quality of information available to investors, and may instead lead to information obfuscation. She believes that regulators should avoid excessive intervention in the market.On the topic of tokenized securities, Peirce stated that SEC staff are continuing to advance research on potential innovative exemption mechanisms to allow for limited experimental exploration of tokenized securities during the assessment period under the current securities law framework. She also noted that blockchain systems are expected to enable faster settlements and reduce reliance on traditional intermediaries in certain scenarios.

According to the SEC's official website, the Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Paul S. Atkins, delivered a speech at the annual meeting of the Investor Advisory Committee, focusing on three main topics.First, to reduce unnecessary information disclosure burdens, advocating for the principle of "minimum effective dose regulation," emphasizing that rules should be centered on materiality and flexibly adjusted according to company size; at the same time, suggesting an extension of the applicability period of the "IPO on-ramp" in the JOBS Act to encourage more small and medium-sized enterprises to go public.Second, opposing the SEC's indirect intervention in corporate governance through "comply or explain" disclosure requirements, arguing that such "shaming regulation" exceeds the SEC's authority, and governance decisions should be made by shareholders and directors themselves.Third, expressing views on the tokenization of equity securities, believing that tokenization helps improve settlement efficiency, reduce settlement risks, and minimize intermediaries, and revealing that the SEC will consider introducing an innovative exemption mechanism to support limited trading of specific tokenized securities and accumulate experience for developing a long-term regulatory framework.

As an on-chain financial infrastructure built specifically for AI Agents, Bank of AI is continuously advancing the ecological implementation of its payment, identity, and DeFi functionalities. The system is deeply integrated with the x402 payment protocol and the 8004 on-chain identity standard, and it is the first to support TRON and BNB Chain, allowing developers to connect automated payments for AI Agents with just one line of code. Additionally, Bank of AI enables AI Agents to autonomously participate in mainstream DeFi protocols such as lending and swapping through MCP Servers and Skills modules; its integrated OpenClaw plugin allows for plug-and-play functionality, unlocking the complete "banking capabilities" of the agents with one click. Bank of AI aims to promote the evolution of AI Agents from mere task executors to on-chain economic participants with financial sovereignty through this closed-loop toolset from development to automation.

The two major financial regulatory agencies in the United States, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), committing to enhance collaboration in the regulation of crypto assets and the launch of new digital asset products to support legitimate innovation and protect investors.According to the statements from both parties, the MOU aims to "guide coordination and cooperation between the two agencies," focusing on supporting legitimate innovation, maintaining market integrity, and ensuring investor and customer protection. The two agencies also plan to jointly promote the development of a federal-level policy framework to establish a "fit-for-purpose regulatory framework" for emerging technologies such as crypto assets. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins stated that the long-standing disputes over regulatory authority, redundant registration requirements, and differing regulatory rules between the SEC and CFTC have somewhat stifled innovation and prompted some market participants to turn to other jurisdictions.Under the MOU, the two agencies will also coordinate to address regulatory barriers that hinder the legitimate launch of new financial products, including those related to crypto assets. While MOUs typically do not have legal binding force, the market generally views the formal commitment of the SEC and CFTC to enhance policy coordination as a positive signal for the digital asset industry. CFTC Chairman Michael Selig stated that the reason the U.S. financial markets lead globally is their ability to continuously adapt to investor needs, and the regulatory system must evolve in tandem to achieve more unified and comprehensive market oversight.

According to Cointelegraph, the European Central Bank released the Appia roadmap on Wednesday, outlining a long-term development plan for a tokenized wholesale financial market based on central bank money. The roadmap revolves around two related initiatives: Pontes, a distributed ledger technology settlement solution for the euro system, and Appia, which serves as the overall strategic framework for building the future tokenized financial ecosystem. The Pontes initiative is set to launch in the third quarter of 2026.Piero Cipollone, a member of the European Central Bank's Executive Board, stated that Appia aims to build a bridge from the current financial system to the future tokenized market, grounded in central bank money. The Pontes initiative aims to achieve the integration of market distributed ledger infrastructure with the TARGET services of the euro system by the end of the third quarter of 2026.TARGET services are the payment and settlement systems operating in the euro system, covering the large-value payment system TARGET2, the securities settlement system T2S, and the instant payment system TIPS. The European Central Bank is simultaneously opening a public consultation, inviting feedback from public and private sector participants on the roadmap or proposals for participation in its implementation, with the feedback deadline set for April 22.

According to market news, U.S. senators are trying to push forward the stalled cryptocurrency market structure bill, the CLARITY Act, through a compromise on the issue of stablecoin yields.The banking industry had previously successfully lobbied to pause the bill due to concerns that stablecoin yields would siphon off bank deposits. Maryland Senator Angela Alsobrooks, who is involved in the negotiations, stated at a banking summit that both sides may need to "compromise a bit" to allow for innovation growth while preventing deposit outflows. Senator Mike Rounds pointed out that yields should be tied to account activity rather than the amount held.JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon hinted at the acceptability of a transaction-based yield model, which is also the position put forth by the cryptocurrency industry at the White House meeting. The recent rules proposed by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency leave considerable room for customer incentive-based yield programs. Although the banking industry continues to emphasize the risks of yield loopholes to their business models, the bill could still advance to committee review if senators reach an agreement on the new compromise.

According to a report by crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett, at the American Bankers Association (ABA) summit in Washington, Senator Alsobrooks told community bankers that all parties may need to make compromises in the advancement of the Clarity Act, stating that "perfection cannot be an obstacle to achieving goals."She revealed that she is working with Senator Thom Tillis on a compromise plan aimed at preventing deposit outflows while leaving room for innovation.

Recently, with the launch of Sui ETF ($SUIS) on Nasdaq and the release of the USDsui stablecoin, the financial infrastructure of the Sui public chain is continuously improving. The traditional funding channels and the on-chain liquidity system are being enhanced in tandem, leading to a sustained increase in ecological activity. Meanwhile, the Sui DeFi sector has also seen frequent new developments, such as the NAVI Protocol and other core protocols continuously driving the growth of lending and liquidity markets, further enhancing the efficiency of ecological funds. Against this backdrop, the Premium Exchange (PRE DEX), incubated by the NAVI Protocol Foundation, is also steadily advancing its ecological layout. As the Sui financial system gradually takes shape, DeFi projects like PRE DEX are expected to play a more significant role in ecological trading and value discovery.

According to market news, as the price of Bitcoin has fallen more than 40% from last year's peak, large mining companies holding over $8 billion in Bitcoin are quietly accelerating their sell-off.Unlike previous sell-offs aimed at covering costs, this round of selling is reallocating funds to the artificial intelligence sector. Mining companies are repositioning their facilities, which also benefit from cheap electricity and capital-intensive infrastructure, as AI data center operators to secure a more predictable source of income than Bitcoin mining. MARA Holdings, the second-largest holder of Bitcoin after Strategy, is adjusting its strategy and may sell a portion of its nearly $4 billion reserves.CleanSpark and Riot Platforms have restructured their executive teams to accelerate the AI transformation. Bitdeer has emptied its Bitcoin holdings. Analysts point out that the sell-off by mining companies has triggered market anxiety, but the proceeds from the sales are being used for strategic reallocation rather than survival, and the profit outlook for mining companies is actually more optimistic.
