Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital) founder Yi Lihua stated that peace negotiations typically move from disagreement to consensus. The motivation for continued warfare among all parties is weakening under the current circumstances, and the conflict may gradually come to an end. "We still insist that the war will end; neither side has any reason to continue fighting. Waiting for a rebound without taking profits, the moment an agreement is reached will be a bullish signal."He pointed out that, from a medium to long-term perspective, the market is generally waiting for a potential large-scale financial crisis. There are signs of defensive positioning on the funding side, such as large capital holding a high proportion of cash and sovereign entities increasing their gold holdings. In this context, if a crisis occurs again, it will be a key moment to test whether Bitcoin possesses the attributes of a safe-haven asset, and it may also present significant opportunities for low-position allocations.In addition, Yi Lihua believes that AI technology is bringing a new round of opportunities for outstanding entrepreneurs. A small number of teams can create global products, reducing financing and organizational management costs. Especially experienced serial entrepreneurs should seize this "AI Age of Exploration."

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).

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.

According to Politico, three U.S. senators are questioning Trump's use of a luncheon event as bait to promote the purchase of TRUMP coins by "catering" to participants.Senators Elizabeth Warren, Adam Schiff, and Richard Blumenthal have written to the event organizers requesting relevant documents to understand Trump's role in the planning, promotion, and potential profits of the April 25 event at Mar-a-Lago. The event is limited to the top 297 investors holding TRUMP tokens.Notably, Trump is also scheduled to attend the White House Correspondents' Association dinner in Washington that day, raising questions about whether he can participate in both events. The event terms also state that Trump "may not be able to attend." The senators pointed out that the organizers are still using "access to the president" as a promotional point despite doubts about Trump's attendance, effectively encouraging the purchase of the Meme coins he issued, thereby profiting Trump and his family.

Crypto analyst Ali published a lengthy analysis on the X platform, pointing out that rather than debating whether Bitcoin has bottomed out, it is better to focus on whether the current volatility constitutes a "generational entry opportunity." Based on indicators such as long-term trend lines, on-chain liquidity, and cost distribution, the core "value range" of this cycle is defined.In terms of support, the UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD) shows that there is a significant concentration of chips in the range of approximately $63,111 to $70,685, forming the current main support zone; if it falls below $63,111, the market may enter a liquidity vacuum. From a long-term trend perspective, Bitcoin is approaching the key upward trend line of the past decade (approximately $56,000 to $60,000), which historically has often corresponded to accumulation phases before major upward movements.

Binance founder Zhao Changpeng (CZ) recalled in his new book that after the "9·4" regulatory policy was introduced in 2017, venture capital firms as a whole became more cautious, and Sequoia Capital, which had originally expressed investment intentions, also paused related cooperation. He stated, "Seeing the venture capitalists collectively silent during our most difficult September, I was actually quite disappointed."CZ revealed that prior to this, Sequoia had expressed investment interest at the beginning of He Yi's joining, but chose to wait and see in light of the policy impact. Subsequently, Binance achieved rapid growth from September to October, with the number of users increasing from about 20,000 in August to about 120,000 by late October, ranking among the top ten exchanges globally and becoming profitable.CZ stated that by the end of October, after the risk phase had basically passed, Sequoia re-expressed its investment intentions, but they had proposed to raise the valuation requirement. Ultimately, the two sides could not reach an agreement due to valuation differences. The other party then proposed to pursue legal proceedings, and a week later, four large boxes of legal documents were delivered. CZ said this was the "first time in his life becoming a defendant." CZ mentioned that he later learned that the lawsuit was led by Sequoia's legal team in the U.S., who are skilled at using the media to create public opinion, "the media reporters knew before I, the party involved."

The founder of the Liebit Mining Pool (B.TOP), Jiang Zhuoer, stated, "I have shorted ETH at $2242. Trump has messed up, and the US-Iran war is likely to end with Iran controlling the Strait of Hormuz (collecting tolls), which the US does not legally recognize (but tacitly accepts). This is America's Suez Canal moment. (In 1956, Britain lost control of the Suez Canal, which is seen as the end of the British Empire's global hegemony.) The bear market cycle is not over yet; event-driven rebounds are all opportunities to add shorts. There is also a small probability of fighting again. This is a short to medium-term operation, just like last time when I went long at $1850 and closed at $2144."
