According to DigitalAsset, the Audit and Inspection Agency of South Korea has released the "Audit Report on the Operation and Management of the Elderly Welfare System," which requires the Minister of Health and Welfare to amend relevant regulations to include digital assets in the property calculation scope for basic pension reviews. The agency pointed out that digital assets have a clear economic value, but the current basic pension law does not include digital assets in its property scope, which may result in individuals holding significant digital assets still being eligible for basic pension benefits.The agency believes that digital assets should be regarded as property with clear economic value, even if their form differs from traditional financial assets, as the value of the property itself is not different. The Ministry of Health and Welfare agrees with this view, stating that it is necessary to prevent relatively high-income individuals in the lower 70% of non-income earners from receiving basic pensions, and agrees that digital assets should be included in the property calculation scope.

Liquid Capital founder Jack Yi stated during a live broadcast at Binance Square on April 8 that since entering the cryptocurrency industry at the end of 2015 and experiencing two to three cycles of bull and bear markets, he still tends to be "long-term bullish," but the premise is not to be overly optimistic and to face the market's cyclicality and "huge volatility." In his view, the pullbacks and rebounds of crypto assets far exceed those of traditional markets, and investors need to maintain clarity and risk awareness amid the volatility.Regarding the market pressure this year, Yi attributed it to multiple external factors: the unfulfilled expectations of interest rate cuts at the macro level, geopolitical disturbances, slower-than-expected policy advancements, and the cooling of certain narratives (such as "national strategy"); combined with the impact of the four-year cycle, he believes the correction may exceed the original plan. However, he emphasized that this is more about the external financial environment and cycles amplifying short-term volatility, and his core judgment on ETH from a long-term perspective has not changed.On the strategic level, he believes that the difficulty of primary investments has significantly increased after 2022-2023: early-stage primary project cycles are shorter, and liquidity is released faster, but as market structures and unlocking/circulation arrangements change, the window of opportunity for investors has clearly narrowed, making primary investments "not as easy as before." Therefore, he is gradually reducing his involvement in primary investments and focusing more on research and opportunity capture in the secondary market.In addition, he emphasized that AI is accelerating the reshaping of the competitive landscape: over the past two to three months, he has invested more effort into learning about AI and promoting the transformation of invested companies towards AI, believing that individuals and teams that do not understand or cannot use AI in the future may be quickly eliminated. In response to external controversies such as "pumping and dumping," he stated that investment ultimately depends on asset value and trends, and large markets are difficult to be driven by a single participant.

According to Cointelegraph, the Thai Securities and Exchange Commission (Thai SEC) has proposed to include the funding providers behind the major shareholders of cryptocurrency businesses in the regulatory approval scope. Regardless of whether the support is provided directly or indirectly, they must undergo the same regulatory scrutiny as the shareholders.The proposal aims to curb hidden capital flows and prevent illegal funds from infiltrating cryptocurrency enterprises. The same rules apply to behaviors that provide funding support indirectly through equity acquisitions. The Thai SEC stated that "significant funding support" includes guarantees, contractual arrangements, or any investment instruments that effectively grant the fund provider the status of an investor; if the major shareholder is a government-related agency, only the entity-level shareholding situation will be reviewed.

As AI transitions from "the capabilities of a few" to "a widely used basic tool," the old models that rely on information asymmetry and poor execution are being dismantled. Projects with data barriers and closed-loop scenarios are beginning to emerge. On April 7th at 8 PM, a Space live discussion on "the new stage of the AI industry" will take place, focusing on the core changes in the industry after the popularization of AI tools, which tracks are being disproven, which can transcend cycles, and where future value ultimately lies—whether in tools, models, or scenario integration.

SEC Chairman Paul Atkins stated that a proposal for a "safe harbor" framework aimed at providing startup exemptions for crypto projects has been submitted to the White House's Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) for review, which is the final step before formal release.The proposal includes a "startup exemption" that allows stakeholders in the crypto industry to raise a certain amount of funds over four years while providing specific disclosures. Additionally, Atkins proposed an "investment contract safe harbor" in conjunction with the token classification interpretive guidance released by the SEC in March of this year.Atkins pointed out that legislation is necessary because it can provide a more solid and lasting regulatory framework than agency rulemaking. Furthermore, the SEC is also exploring an "innovation exemption" as a regulatory sandbox for on-chain assets. This proposal has sparked extensive discussions between crypto supporters and traditional financial institutions over the past year. Atkins stated that the SEC has the authority to advance the innovation exemption and will announce relevant parameters soon. He believes there is still much work to be done in this area.

Paul Atkins, chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), stated at the digital asset summit held at Vanderbilt University that the SEC's proposed crypto "safe harbor" framework has been submitted to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) under the White House Office of Management and Budget for review, with only the final step remaining before official release.The proposal includes a "startup exemption" clause that allows crypto projects to raise a certain amount of funds over a four-year period while providing specific disclosures to protect investors. Atkins also revealed that the SEC is advancing an "innovation exemption" mechanism aimed at creating a regulatory sandbox for on-chain assets, but this initiative has sparked controversy between crypto advocates and traditional financial institutions. Atkins emphasized that relevant legislation is still necessary to ensure the regulatory framework has durability across different administrations.

According to Crypto In America, the core disagreement between the U.S. cryptocurrency and banking industries regarding the stablecoin yield mechanism may be close to resolution. Several informed sources have revealed that both sides have initiated a new round of communication regarding the latest compromise plan. Although the details have not been disclosed, the overall expectation is becoming optimistic.A previous draft pushed by U.S. senators had sparked dissatisfaction in the industry, with institutions such as Coinbase and Stripe expressing concerns. The market is focused on the "Clarity Act," which is expected to enter the committee review stage later this month. If the yield issue is alleviated, the legislative focus will shift to remaining topics such as DeFi, tokenization, and token classification.In addition, a White House research report on stablecoin yields and their impact on the banking system has yet to be released. It is said that the overall conclusion of the study leans towards supporting the cryptocurrency industry, and the reason for the delay in publication remains unclear.

MiniMax stated on platform X, "The MiniMax Token was designed from the beginning to be usable across third-party platforms. More great ideas on how to apply artificial intelligence will emerge outside of the AI lab than within the lab itself. Limiting AI subscription users to first-party products stifles these ideas, causing them to be stillborn before they even have a chance to come to life."

According to Jin Shi reports, a source told CNBC that the U.S. Senate Banking Committee will hold a hearing on April 16 to review the nomination of Kevin Warsh as Chairman of the Federal Reserve.Another criminal investigation surrounding the Federal Reserve is still ongoing, examining whether current Chairman Powell made false statements to Congress regarding the expensive renovations of the Federal Reserve's office building. Meanwhile, Warsh's nomination process is still moving forward, which could lead to a conflict between the two parallel processes pushed by the Trump administration.Banking Committee member Thom Tillis has already stated that he will not vote to confirm Warsh until the investigation is concluded, meaning Trump cannot advance both processes simultaneously. However, by continuing to push for the hearing, Trump is clearly still trying to achieve this goal. The Senate Banking Committee has not yet listed the hearing on the public agenda.

According to Politico, three informed sources revealed that cryptocurrency companies and Wall Street firms will review the new stablecoin yield agreement text from April 2 to 3, which was jointly drafted by Republican Senator Thom Tillis and Democratic Senator Angela Alsobrooks.Currently, the plan is to limit the review of the text to relevant parties and not to make it publicly available on a broader scale. Last week, parties visiting Capitol Hill were allowed to read the text on-site but were not permitted to take copies out.

According to Cointelegraph, the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) of the White House has completed its review of a proposal from the Department of Labor (DOL) regarding allowing 401(k) fiduciaries to include alternative assets (including digital assets) in the evaluation scope of retirement plans.OIRA marked the conclusion of this review as "change approved" and categorized the proposal as "economically significant." The Department of Labor is expected to release proposed rules next, initiating a 60-day public comment period, after which final rules are typically published following revisions. The completion of this review is a follow-up to the executive order issued by Trump on August 7, 2025.This executive order requires federal agencies to expand access to alternative assets in 401(k) plans, including gaining exposure to digital assets through specific investment tools, and mandates the Department of Labor to reassess regulations that restrict private equity, real estate, and digital assets from entering defined contribution plans, while also requiring the Treasury to collaborate with the SEC to support rule revisions.In May 2025, the Department of Labor rescinded a compliance guideline from the Biden administration that required fiduciaries to be "extremely cautious" when including cryptocurrencies in 401(k) plans, marking a fundamental shift in the federal government's attitude towards including digital assets in retirement plans.According to data from the Investment Company Institute, as of September 30, 2025, the financial assets in the U.S. retirement market have reached a record $48.1 trillion. Additionally, the Indiana state legislature passed a bill on February 25 requiring certain state retirement and savings plans to offer at least one cryptocurrency investment option by July 1, 2027.
