The IRS is intensifying its regulatory oversight of tax compliance for crypto assets as the April 15 filing deadline approaches, with related enforcement actions continuing to strengthen.Reports indicate that about 61% of U.S. crypto investors are still unaware of the new reporting rules for the 2025 tax year, and approximately 52% of investors are concerned about facing penalties due to reporting errors. The new rules require brokers to report digital asset trading income to the IRS for the first time using Form 1099-DA, but the cost basis still needs to be calculated by the investors themselves.Industry insiders state that the current regulatory environment has become stricter, and investors need to maintain complete records of transactions and wallet data, and report accurately to avoid potential legal risks.

According to The Block, after the rebound driven by the ceasefire in the Middle East faded, Bitcoin hovered around $71,000, while Ethereum was around $2,190, and the overall cryptocurrency market weakened simultaneously. Analysts pointed out that the breakdown of US-Iran negotiations and the escalation of tensions around the Strait of Hormuz have caused the market to revert to the macro trading logic of "rising oil prices - increasing inflation expectations - declining risk appetite."Institutions believe that Bitcoin faces significant resistance around $74,000, compounded by crude oil returning above $100, putting pressure on capital risk appetite. However, most opinions suggest that the current pullback has not yet evolved into panic selling. Data shows that last week, the spot Bitcoin ETF still recorded nearly $1 billion in net inflows, and the scale of forced liquidations was significantly lower than the levels in the first quarter, indicating that the market's ability to absorb shocks has improved.Structurally, there is still strong selling pressure in the $70,000 to $80,000 range, with about 13.5 million addresses in a state of unrealized losses, limiting upside potential. At the same time, the scale of open futures contracts has decreased by more than 50% from the peak in 2025, showing that the previous excessive leverage has been somewhat cleared, and the market structure is becoming healthier. Bitcoin currently resembles a macro asset rather than an independent market, with its movements still highly dependent on inflation and liquidity conditions. In the context of rising inflation in the US and cautious monetary policy, Bitcoin may maintain a volatile pattern in the short term.

According to CoinDesk, documents submitted to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) by the Super Political Action Committee (Super PAC) Fellowship, which is associated with Tether, show that its first expenditure of $300,000 went to Nxum Group, a company co-founded by Tether's U.S. CEO, former Trump administration crypto advisor Bo Hines, along with his father Todd Hines and third-party partners.This expenditure was used to purchase campaign advertisements for Georgia Republican House candidate Clay Fuller, coinciding with Fuller winning a special election to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene as a congressman. Notably, Fellowship did not publicly announce this expenditure nor include Fuller in its public endorsement list.On April 1 of this year, Fellowship appointed Jesse Spiro, Tether's U.S. Vice President of Regulatory Affairs, as the committee chair, officially reactivating its presence in the political arena. When the committee was announced last year, it had received a total funding commitment of $100 million, but its FEC disclosure documents currently show a zero account balance, and related donations have not been made public. Tether International responded that there is no association or regulatory relationship with Fellowship PAC, while Tether U.S. declined to comment.In terms of conflicts of interest, Michael Beckel from the political reform organization Issue One stated that it is not illegal for Super PACs to pay founder-associated companies under U.S. campaign finance rules, provided that services are genuinely rendered and rates are in line with market prices. Fellowship's CFO Mitchell Nobel currently works at Cantor Fitzgerald, which manages Tether's global business assets, and its former chairman is current Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.Currently, Fellowship's expenditure scale is still vastly different from that of the leading crypto industry Super PAC Fairshake. Fairshake has invested millions in several primary elections, while the candidates currently supported by Fellowship are almost all deep-red state Republicans.

According to the proposal, the regulatory authority over cross-border institutions that are systemically important will be transferred from the competent authorities of each member state to ESMA, covering large CASPs, trading venues, central counterparties, and central securities depositories. This is the most significant structural adjustment to the EU's crypto regulatory framework since the full implementation of the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) for CASPs at the end of 2024.Under the current MiCA framework, the national competent authorities act as the frontline regulators, while ESMA plays only a coordinating role.

HashKey Group Chairman Xiao Feng previously stated in an exclusive interview with Hong Kong Wen Wei Po that the issuance of the first batch of stablecoin licenses in Hong Kong is an important step for the local digital asset market. He pointed out that this move marks a further acceleration of Hong Kong's process of tokenizing fiat currency and fills a critical gap in the clearing and payment infrastructure of the digital financial system.In addition to serving cross-border payments and trade settlements, Hong Kong stablecoins will also play a core role as a medium for digital asset transactions. Xiao Feng suggested that, in the long run, their greater value lies in supporting micro, cross-border, and programmable payments between AI entities, and creating synergies with scenarios involving real-world assets (RWA) and on-chain clearing, helping Hong Kong occupy a more critical position in the global evolution of digital assets and digital financial systems.He also stated that HashKey's trading platform will adhere to the principles of openness and compliance, supporting stablecoin issuers and related products that meet regulatory requirements, and jointly promoting the healthy development of the ecosystem. Currently, HashKey is actively engaging in substantive cooperation discussions with licensed stablecoin issuers and welcomes stablecoin institutions planning to issue in compliance in Hong Kong to establish partnerships with them.As a core participant in Hong Kong's digital asset market, HashKey will leverage its existing licensed compliance system, fiat channels, and industry resources to support the trading launch of compliant stablecoins, liquidity support, payment scenario expansion, and the implementation of related application scenarios, promoting the orderly development of the industry ecosystem.

According to a report by Reuters, the European Central Bank recently stated its support for the European Commission's push to transfer regulatory authority over systemically important cross-border financial market participants, such as cryptocurrency service providers, major trading venues, central counterparties, and central securities depositories, from national regulators to the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA). This initiative aims to deepen the integration of the EU capital markets and enhance overall competitiveness.The European Central Bank suggested that the ESMA Board establish a non-voting central bank seat and emphasized that ESMA needs to obtain sufficient resources and personnel to smoothly take over the new responsibilities. The relevant proposal will be negotiated by EU member states and the European Parliament, and it is expected to take several months to finalize legislation.

According to Jinshi reports, ING analyst Francesco Pesole stated that if the U.S. CPI data shows a significant acceleration in March inflation driven by rising energy prices due to the Iran war, the dollar may gain support.Although the situation in the Middle East remains a major driving factor, the threshold for further declines in the dollar today should be raised. He also pointed out that the Federal Reserve needs to pay attention in the coming months to whether core inflation will experience a second-round effect, where businesses pass on higher costs through prices and wages.
