Macquarie Bank global strategists Thierry Wizman and Gareth Berry stated in a report that it is still too early to have high expectations for a "peace agreement" in the Middle East to be reached in the coming days, as the demands from both sides still seem difficult to reconcile. The idea of getting the U.S. to abandon its demands regarding Iran's nuclear assets, or that the U.S. would simply withdraw its bases in the Gulf region, is unrealistic.At this stage, it is also unlikely to see Iran abandon its support for its proxy forces. However, this war is unlikely to last beyond mid-April, as by then the threat from Iran is likely to be eliminated. Once the threat is removed, the U.S. will hold the upper hand in any subsequent negotiations.

According to Caixin, NPC representative and former president of the Liaoning branch of the People's Bank of China, Fu Xiguo, submitted a proposal to accelerate the revision and introduction of the "People's Bank of China Law of the People's Republic of China."

The revision of the "People's Bank Law" should clarify the legal status of the digital renminbi as legal tender and define the core responsibilities of the central bank as the issuer of the digital renminbi.The new "People's Bank Law" should also include behaviors such as counterfeiting and tampering with the digital renminbi within the scope of legal regulation, clarifying corresponding legal responsibilities and penalty standards to ensure the circulation safety of the digital renminbi.

Cactus Custody announced that its self-custody MPC (Multi-Party Computation) solution is officially launched. As a custody brand under Matrixport, Cactus holds a Hong Kong Trust TCSP license and has served numerous industry-renowned clients such as RedotPay, Fosun Wealth Holdings, and TDTC.As the Web3 industry matures, institutional clients are increasingly inclined to gain autonomy in custody while demanding the robust security infrastructure provided by third-party custodians. Cactus Custody's MPC solution cleverly bridges this gap by combining cutting-edge Intel SGX TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) with an institution-centric risk management engine.The core security cornerstone of the platform is the advanced MPC-TSS (Threshold Signature Scheme). Through this technology, private key shards are independently generated by multiple parties and jointly managed by devices controlled by Cactus and the clients. This architecture effectively eliminates the risk of "single points of failure," ensuring that no party can unilaterally transfer funds, thereby providing clients with absolute asset sovereignty and peace of mind.Cactus Custody CEO Daniel Lee commented, "Our new MPC solution is designed for institutions that prefer to manage assets directly while requiring secure and compliant infrastructure. By providing a compliant, flexible, and secure platform, we empower clients to flexibly and fully autonomously scale their digital asset businesses."
