According to Jinshi reports, U.S. President Trump stated on social media: "Iran must agree that they will never have nuclear weapons or nuclear bombs. The Strait of Hormuz must be opened immediately in both directions, with no tolls, allowing shipping traffic to pass unrestricted. All mines (bombs)------if any------will be cleared (we have previously utilized our excellent underwater mine-sweeping ships to clear a large number of such mines by detonation. Iran will be responsible for immediately clearing and/or detonating any remaining mines------there shouldn't be too many!).Those ships that have been stranded in the strait due to our astonishing and unprecedented naval blockade------given that the blockade has now been lifted------can begin to "set sail for home"! The concentrated materials that are buried deep underground------sometimes referred to as "nuclear dust"------are currently being pressed under a mountain that has nearly collapsed (this is due to the powerful B-2 bomber airstrikes we launched 11 months ago); these materials will be excavated by the United States and will be thoroughly destroyed in close coordination and cooperation with Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency. Until further notice, there will be no financial transactions between the two parties.In addition, the two sides have reached a consensus on other issues that are far less important than the above matters. I am now heading to the "situation room" for a meeting to make the final decision." AXIOS reporters interpret that Trump hinted at an imminent approval of the Iran agreement.

Sei releases the next-generation protocol upgrade "Giga" roadmap, planning to significantly enhance transaction performance by restructuring the execution client, state management, and consensus mechanism. Core upgrades include: Ares execution client (optimizing performance through pipelined execution and asynchronous processing); Eidos state management (replacing the Merkle tree with a flat key-value store, separating hot data from cold archives); Autobahn consensus mechanism (targeting 200,000 TPS and 400 milliseconds finality, with the internal test network already achieving 5 Gigagas processing capability); Sedna private memory pool (introducing a cryptographic transaction propagation mechanism); and gradually phasing out Cosmos SDK and CosmWasm through SIP-3, transitioning to a pure EVM architecture.

The approval voting rate for the preliminary agreement on wages and collective bargaining for 2026 by the largest union of Samsung Group has sharply increased. As a result, expectations for the approval of the agreement are rising. However, due to the significant bonus gap between the semiconductor sector and the equipment experience sector, as well as between the memory and non-memory sectors, discussions about fairness are expected to continue.According to the union, as of 8:29 AM local time on the 25th (7:29 AM Beijing time), out of 57,291 eligible voters, 49,363 have voted on the approval of the preliminary agreement on wages and collective bargaining, resulting in a voting rate of 86.16%. This vote is the final step in determining whether to accept the preliminary agreement reached by both labor and management regarding wages and collective bargaining. The core of the agreement is to allocate 10.5% of the operating performance of the DS department as a special management performance bonus fund, to be paid in the form of treasury stock.Industry insiders believe that members of the DS department, who account for about 80% of all union members, are likely to push the agreement through. As long as a majority of eligible voters participate and a majority of those who vote are in favor, the vote will be finalized. Voting will end at 10 AM on the 27th.

According to Bits.media, Ivan Chebeskov, the Deputy Minister of Finance of Russia, stated that the final version of the government's cryptocurrency market regulation bill will retain the ban on transfers from Russian custodial wallets to non-custodial foreign wallets. More lenient conditions will only apply to participants in foreign trade activities, namely importers. Chebeskov mentioned that after the law comes into effect, the effectiveness of the new regulatory system will be analyzed, and in the future, the use of non-custodial wallets may be allowed in an experimental mode. The final version of the bill will be ready next week, and the Deputy Minister hopes it can be passed before the end of the State Duma's spring session.Previously, the Duma's Financial Market Committee opposed the central bank's stance on banning transfers to non-custodial wallets and proposed providing judicial protection for all cryptocurrency asset holders. The bill was passed in the first reading on April 21, stipulating that starting July 1, Russians and companies can only purchase digital assets through licensed intermediaries, and access to foreign cryptocurrency platforms must go through a list approved by the central bank, prohibiting access to exchanges that impose sanctions on Russia.

According to TASS, the Russian Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of Russia plan to finalize the draft law for cryptocurrency market regulation next week and submit it to the State Duma for a second reading.Deputy Minister of Finance Ivan Chebeskov announced this news to reporters during the "Russian Digital Financial System: Digital Currency, Tokenization, and Artificial Intelligence" conference.

Greg Cipolaro, research director at financial services firm NYDIG, stated that the most realistic window for the U.S. Senate's cryptocurrency market structure bill to pass is from June to early August. If it cannot be advanced during this period, it may face uncertainty for an even longer time after the midterm elections.Previously, White House cryptocurrency advisor Patrick Witt suggested July 4 as an ideal legislative timeline, but NYDIG believes this target is more of an "optimistic expectation," as it needs to go through multiple hurdles such as committee review, full Senate voting, and House processes. The bill aims to clarify the regulatory framework for cryptocurrency assets in the U.S. and is seen as one of the most critical pieces of legislation this year, but has been delayed multiple times due to disagreements over stablecoin regulation, ethical provisions, and DeFi rules.The Senate Banking Committee has advanced the relevant draft to a full Senate vote, but it still requires at least 60 votes to pass. Analysts point out that if the bill does not pass before the election cycle, changes in Senate control between Republicans and Democrats may further reduce legislative certainty, keeping the industry in a "regulatory gray area." However, once the bill is finally passed and signed into law, it will bring regulatory clarity to the market, especially as Bitcoin is expected to be clearly classified as a commodity, thereby reducing uncertainty for institutional entry.

Wasabi Protocol released a security incident update, stating that attackers exploited a configuration vulnerability in the Spring Boot Actuator within its AWS infrastructure to steal the private keys controlling EVM smart contracts, resulting in the theft of approximately $4.8 million in user funds and $900,000 in protocol treasury funds, with total losses amounting to about $5.7 million.The attack chain began with a public server used for analysis, whose Actuator heap dump was not properly password protected, allowing attackers to obtain credentials for another server and ultimately gain control of the smart contract private keys. This incident only affected EVM deployments, including certain treasuries on Ethereum, Base, Blast, and Berachain, while Solana deployments and Prop AMM were not affected.There has not yet been a final update on the user compensation plan, but "ensuring all affected users are compensated" remains the team's top priority, and updates on the investigation progress will be released in the Discord community in the future.

The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has released the final draft of the crypto asset framework. This new regulation is set to bring most crypto activities under the regulation of the Financial Services and Markets Act by October 25, 2027.According to the proposal, any institution that holds customer crypto assets for more than 24 hours or has the ability to revoke customer permissions will be considered a regulated custodian and must hold a full safeguarding license. Validators and node operators that provide value-added features such as yield or reward reinvestment will lose their technical exemptions. In addition, stablecoin issuers within the UK must control the entire lifecycle from issuance to redemption. Relevant institutions must submit authorization applications between September 30, 2026, and February 28, 2027.

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.
