At the "Crypto 2026: From Cryptocurrency to Smart Economy" forum held in Hong Kong, Gongye Feng, co-founder and CEO of Monera Digital, delivered a keynote speech titled "AI Empowered Private Banking for the Smart Economy."Feng pointed out that what disappeared after 2022 was not the demand for digital assets, but the market's confidence in the ways capital could enter. Monera Digital positions itself as an AI private bank for the smart economy, where the core is not using AI as traders, but as an accelerator that compresses the research, testing, and iteration cycles from months to days.He emphasized that risk control must be institutionalized rather than personalized. Monera has built four lines of defense: constraints on exposure and collateral at the source, automated clearing and margin management, complete isolation of client assets, and eliminating maturity mismatches while maintaining liquidity buffers. In addition, AI plays the role of a 24/7 digital CRO, achieving a leap from passive monitoring to proactive warning.In terms of service model, Monera does not operate as a pure technology platform, but insists on "anti-AI illusion," where AI is responsible for optimization and efficiency, while trust, responsibility, and continuity of relationships are still borne by humans. Feng believes that the prerequisite for crypto assets to truly become configurable assets is to translate complexity into clear, continuous, and trustworthy private banking services.

According to Jinshi reports, global markets significantly rebounded over the past week driven by expectations of easing tensions in the Middle East, but core uncertainties remain unresolved. Iran once announced the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, leading to a rapid decline in oil prices, a broad strengthening of risk assets, U.S. stocks reaching new highs, a weakening dollar, and gold approaching the $4900 mark. However, Iran subsequently signaled that it "is still under military control," combined with the U.S. maintaining sanctions against Iran, which has heightened market concerns about the volatility of the situation.On the macro level, the biggest variable next week will still be the progress of U.S.-Iran negotiations. U.S. President Trump stated that negotiations may advance over the weekend and warned that if an agreement is not reached by next Wednesday, the ceasefire could end, and there is a risk of renewed conflict; meanwhile, Iran's attitude towards negotiations remains cautious, especially with significant differences on key issues such as uranium enrichment. The market has currently shifted from "pricing in conflict escalation" to "pricing in a path to easing," but any sudden changes could still trigger sharp asset fluctuations.In terms of interest rate expectations, the decline in energy prices has alleviated inflationary pressures, and the market's expectations for a rate cut by the Federal Reserve this year have risen to about 60%. At the same time, Federal Reserve Chair nominee Kevin Warsh will attend a Senate hearing next week, and his policy stance (especially whether it leans dovish) will become an important variable affecting gold and risk assets.On Tuesday at 20:30, U.S. March retail sales month-on-month;On Thursday at 20:30, U.S. initial jobless claims for the week ending April 18;On Thursday at 21:45, U.S. April S&P Global Manufacturing/Services PMI preliminary;On Friday at 22:00, U.S. April University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index final value, one-year inflation expectations final value;In the short term, the market's main focus will revolve around three major variables: progress in U.S.-Iran negotiations, oil price trends, and signals from the Federal Reserve.

According to the Iranian Tasnim News Agency on the 18th, Iran has not yet agreed to hold the next round of negotiations with the United States.

According to CNBC, a recent study shows that adding Bitcoin to a traditional gold allocation can effectively enhance the overall return of the investment portfolio without significantly increasing the risk level.At the same time, Goldman Sachs released a report indicating that cryptocurrency prices may have bottomed out, and some related stocks have high investment appeal; Standard Chartered Bank has halved its Bitcoin price forecast; other analysts pointed out that due to the recent continuous decline in the cryptocurrency market, the profitability of Bitcoin mining has significantly narrowed, making it difficult to achieve profitability in current mining operations.

According to Reuters, U.S. President Trump stated that he may go to Islamabad once an agreement is reached, but no decision has been made yet. There may be more negotiations regarding the Iran agreement this weekend.

According to Jinshi reports, Goldman Sachs' head of asset allocation research, Muller-Grissman, stated that the recent rise in U.S. stocks requires the Federal Reserve to restart interest rate cuts to maintain momentum. He described the stock market rebound as a "rapid and fierce recovery phase," partly driven by technical factors, including hedge funds being forced to rebuild positions. Although the S&P 500 is expected to rise more than 3% for three consecutive weeks, he questioned whether the upward trend is sustainable without monetary policy support.

According to monitoring by Hyperinsight, a whale opened a BTC long position with 40x leverage, with a position size of 6.95 million USD and an average price of 75,320 USD. After gaining about 20% in floating profit, the address immediately placed a limit take-profit order, planning to close the entire position at 77,000 USD.It is worth noting that the address did not set any stop-loss orders. Considering that the liquidation price is at 74,287 USD, it may imply using the liquidation line as an implicit stop-loss level.

In response to the recent attack on the "ListaDAOLiquidStakingVault" contract, ListaDAO officially released a statement clarifying that the attacked contract was not deployed by the official team, but rather was a counterfeit contract created by an unverified third party using a similar name. All official contracts of ListaDAO were not affected by this incident.According to an in-depth analysis by the GoPlus security team, the attack occurred on April 16, 2026, and the root cause was a business logic flaw in the third-party contract. When a token transfer was made, it triggered the Dividend.setShares() function and altered the share accounting within the contract, which in turn affected the reward calculation in the claimReward() function. The attacker exploited this vulnerability to deplete the assets within the contract.GoPlus reminds that since this logical flaw exists in both segments of the contract code mentioned above, any development projects that fork or reuse this code face a high risk of being exploited. It is recommended that relevant developers promptly conduct code inspections and fixes, and implement continuous auditing mechanisms to ensure the security of smart contracts.

Web3 asset data platform RootData released the sixth issue of the "Cryptocurrency Exchange Transparency Ranking (Stock Category)," continuing to focus on the growth trend of stock assets in cryptocurrency exchanges. In this issue, Binance, OKX, Gate, Bitget, and Bybit ranked in the top five.According to the ranking, most cryptocurrency exchanges saw an increase of around 10% in trading volume over the past week, reversing a downward trend that had persisted for several weeks, but the traffic remained mostly flat compared to last week, with no significant signs of rebound.In terms of ranking changes, Gate and Bitget both moved up one position, while Bybit dropped two positions. Bitget launched the first Pre-IPO project SpaceX (SPCX) in this issue, connecting the Pre-IPO product framework with traditional capital markets, enhancing the richness and institutional attributes of its "tradable stock assets," which is an important reason for the score increase this time.It is reported that RootData adheres to the "transparency first" principle and has taken the lead in establishing a dual evaluation system of "transparency + liquidity" in the field of stock cryptocurrency exchanges, thereby providing investors with more effective data references. The ranking will continue to be improved and published in the future.

According to Jin Shi reports, Federal Reserve Governor Milan stated that, given the inflation situation that had already emerged before the Middle East conflict, he may lower his expectations for interest rate cuts again this year. Milan mentioned that if he were to draw the dot plot now, he would lean towards cutting rates 3 times, possibly 4 times, but has not made a final decision yet. In March, he expected to cut rates 4 times this year, each by 25 basis points, but the pace of cuts may slow down if price trends become "less favorable."

The Ministry of Economy and Finance of South Korea announced that it will launch a pilot program for blockchain deposit tokens in Sejong City in the fourth quarter of 2026, to replace traditional government procurement card payments.The project has been approved under the 2026 regulatory sandbox program, allowing institutions to pay business promotion expenses in the form of tokenized deposits. Token payments can preset spending limits and available industry ranges, helping to reduce the need for manual audits and lowering transaction fees for small businesses by removing intermediaries such as card networks.This is the second application of deposit tokens in fiscal operations, following the completion of the first pilot in the electric vehicle charging infrastructure subsidy program. If the pilot proves effective, the Ministry of Finance of South Korea plans to further promote the program.

According to market news, South Korea is piloting blockchain deposit tokens for government spending.

JPMorgan analysts have stated that negotiations for the U.S. "Cryptocurrency Market Structure Act" (i.e., the CLARITY Act) have entered the final stages, with both sides reaching compromises on a few remaining contentious points. The number of disputes has been reduced from over a dozen to 2-3 core issues, with discussions on stablecoin rewards being "in a good place." While banks express concerns about stablecoins offering similar yields to deposits, there is an overall bipartisan compromise trend. JPMorgan believes that "there is no perfect bill," and once passed, the bill will provide important regulatory clarity for the integration of digital assets into the U.S. financial system.The "Cryptocurrency Market Structure Act" is currently in advanced negotiations in the U.S. Senate, with Senate staff stating that the draft is "very close" to resolution, but the final text has not yet been released, nor has a formal vote been scheduled. The remaining major disagreements focus on stablecoin rewards, DeFi regulation, and token classification issues. Although optimism is rising, there is still a risk of delays due to the 2026 midterm elections, which could lead to a more uncertain political environment. If the bill is ultimately passed, it will delineate the regulatory authority between the SEC and CFTC, providing a long-term regulatory framework for stablecoins, DeFi, and the entire cryptocurrency industry.
