According to a report by Jinshi, citing the Iranian Mehr News Agency on the 25th, Iranian Islamic Parliament member Behnam Saidi stated that Iran has developed a comprehensive plan for managing the Strait of Hormuz.In an interview with Mehr News Agency, Saidi said that an important aspect of this plan is the exclusive recognition of the name "Persian Gulf" in all letters and commercial documents, rejecting any other names. Vessels and ships navigating in the region must obtain permission from Iran.Sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz will be entirely in the hands of Iran. He also stated that vessels identified as hostile by the Supreme National Security Council or the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Iran are not allowed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, and Israeli vessels are absolutely prohibited from entering the area. Ships passing through the region must pay relevant fees for safety, environmental protection, shipping management, and permit issuance, with priority given to payment in rials.

According to BBX data, the first public collapse case in the corporate digital asset reserve sector occurred yesterday, and on the same day, the crypto industry jointly issued the largest legislative mobilization of the year. Several listed companies disclosed their latest reserve actions, with the core dynamics as follows:Satsuma Technology Plc (LSE: $SATS) reported by Bloomberg on April 23 that digital asset investment firm Pantera Capital (holding approximately 6.7%) is pressuring the company, along with other shareholders, to liquidate all 646 BTC (current market value approximately $50 million) and return the cash to shareholders. The company's executive chairman, Ranald McGregor-Smith, confirmed that they have received requests from shareholders for capital return, stating that they are "evaluating options."DeFi Development Corp. (NASDAQ: $DFDV) announced that its Treasury Accelerator Program has completed a strategic equity investment in Japanese listed company Allied Architects, Inc. (TSE: 6081), marking the company's first entry into the Asian market. As of recently, the company holds approximately 2.2 million SOL (market value approximately $195 million), using "SOL per Share (SPS)" as a core performance indicator.H100 Group AB (OTCMKTS: $HOGPF) upgraded the letter of intent (LOI) signed in March to a binding share purchase agreement, intending to acquire a total of approximately 2,450 BTC reserves from Moonshot AS and Never Say Die AS; upon completion, the company's BTC holdings are expected to rise to approximately 3,501 BTC, with the transaction structure being all-stock consideration (BTC for BTC, no cash involved). Existing shareholders are expected to hold about 30% after completion, with the delivery expected to be completed by August 2026.Remixpoint, Inc. (TSE: 3825) recently increased its holdings by 20.0312 BTC (approximately $1.57 million), bringing its total BTC holdings to 1,431.33 BTC, with a current paper profit of approximately $21.28 million; the company also plans to purchase approximately $3.13 million in additional crypto assets.

Kevin Warsh stated at the Senate hearing that digital assets "have become a part of the U.S. financial system" and supports their inclusion in the financial system to provide more opportunities and protections for investors.This statement is seen as a signal of a relatively open policy towards the cryptocurrency industry should he become the chairman of the Federal Reserve. Warsh has previously referred to Bitcoin as "an important asset that aids in policy-making." However, Elizabeth Warren expressed concerns during the hearing, mentioning risks such as "shadow accounts" in the crypto space, emphasizing the need for enhanced regulation and prevention of abuse.

Ripple officially announced its quantum resistance roadmap, with the core goal of making the XRP Ledger (XRPL) quantum-resistant by 2028. The roadmap primarily addresses the potential attack mode of "harvest now, decrypt later," where attackers collect encrypted data now and wait for future quantum computers to mature before cracking it.The entire plan will be implemented in four phases:Phase 1: Q-Day Emergency Preparedness (Already Started). Establish a Q-Day emergency response mechanism. If the existing classical encryption system is suddenly compromised, the network will immediately stop accepting traditional public key signatures, forcing a migration to quantum-safe accounts. At the same time, explore asset ownership verification solutions based on Post-Quantum ZK-proofs, allowing existing account holders to safely recover funds in emergencies without exposing vulnerable keys.Phase 2: Risk Assessment and Algorithm Testing (First Half of 2026). Conduct a comprehensive assessment of the impact of post-quantum cryptography on the performance, storage, and bandwidth of the XRP Ledger network. Collaborate with Project Eleven to conduct validator-level testing and Devnet benchmarking, deploy NIST standardized ML-DSA quantum-safe signature schemes, and develop prototypes for post-quantum custodial wallets. Core engineer Denis Angell has already deployed ML-DSA signatures on XRPL's AlphaNet.Phase 3: Devnet Hybrid Integration (Second Half of 2026). Parallel integration of candidate post-quantum signature schemes with existing elliptic curve signatures on the developer network (Devnet), allowing developers to test performance and system impacts without affecting the mainnet. At the same time, explore post-quantum zero-knowledge proof primitives and homomorphic encryption technologies for Confidential Transfers to enhance the privacy and compliance capabilities of tokenized real-world assets on XRPL.Phase 4: Full Mainnet Upgrade (Target 2028). Submit a formal protocol amendment, which will be fully enabled on the mainnet after being approved by validator votes, to implement native post-quantum cryptography. Focus on production-ready optimization: throughput tuning, validator reliability assurance, and coordinated migration of the ecosystem, ensuring a complete transition without affecting network speed and settlement finality.

Binance Co-CEO He Yi, while answering the question "What should ordinary people do in the Web3 industry" at the BNB Chain event in Hong Kong, stated that in the early stages of any industry, there will always be a group of people who benefit from the dividends, and the cryptocurrency space is no exception. However, even those old OGs in the crypto world who once made a lot of money will be quickly abandoned if their mindset does not keep up with the development of the times.She bluntly stated that how much money a person makes essentially reflects the monetization of their understanding. For ordinary people, there may indeed be a few significant opportunities in life, such as buying and holding BTC or BNB early on, or seizing stocks like Nvidia in the AI era. However, simply acquiring assets does not equate to making money; the key is to truly understand the industry structure and the logic behind it, rather than just succumbing to FOMO.

Binance Co-CEO He Yi responded to community questions at the BNB Chain event in Hong Kong, stating that when trading memecoins on BSC, one should not "nitpick" (picking apart He Yi or Big Brother's Twitter content) and deceive oneself.He Yi mentioned that she is not a narcissistic person and does not tweet every day to create hype. Some coins discussed at the Binance Alpha event are popular not because she tweeted about them, but because they have inherent popularity, which creates a false cycle.She emphasized that BNB Chain is a public chain, and just as one does not question the Ethereum Foundation about the quality of projects on Ethereum, everyone trading memecoins on BSC should have the correct understanding. Binance's mission is to protect users, but that does not mean that every investment on the BNB Chain will necessarily be profitable."99.9% of memecoins will go to zero," He Yi stated, noting that most projects will fail, and investors must be clear about what they are doing and not be misled by others. One cannot assume that any memecoin "picked out" by He Yi will definitely be listed on Binance; otherwise, it would contradict the reputation of "protecting users," and this understanding is misguided.

According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin's monitoring, a whale borrowed 28,000,000 USDT from Aave in February, purchasing 12,802 ETH at an average price of $2,187.

According to Decrypt, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (a senior Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee) wrote to SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, stating that he may have "deliberately misled" Congress regarding the decline in the number of new enforcement actions by the SEC during a hearing, and pointed out that if there are significant false statements made to Congress, it could involve criminal liability.The report cites enforcement data disclosed by the SEC for 2025, stating that the SEC added a total of 456 new enforcement actions last year, of which about 200 were from the previous administration, and approximately 256 were added during the current administration, significantly lower than the average of about 765 per year over the past decade. Warren believes that the sharp decline in enforcement actions, staff reductions, and sudden leadership changes may weaken the SEC's ability to protect investors and maintain market order, and questions whether there is political favoritism and selective enforcement. The SEC declined to comment on this.

According to Edaily, Kim Sang-hoon, the chairman of the Digital Assets Special Committee of the People Power Party of Korea, expressed concerns about the restrictions on equity in cryptocurrency exchanges at an academic conference. He called for the prioritization of advancing the basic law on digital assets related to stablecoins (Phase Two legislation) to avoid getting caught in equity regulatory disputes and missing the golden legislative opportunity.He pointed out that the reality of the issuance and circulation of the Korean won stablecoin KRWQ has emerged overseas, posing a severe challenge to monetary sovereignty. Kim Sang-hoon emphasized that the law should provide market predictability, offer clear guidance for operators, and establish effective safety mechanisms for users.
