#美司法部：不起诉加密开发者 The U.S. Department of Justice says: Writing code is not a crime~ but don't celebrate too early🤨 The acting U.S. Attorney General has officially stated: As long as you do not assist in criminal activity, cryptocurrency and blockchain developers will not face federal prosecution. Crypto developers can finally take their lawyers' numbers off speed dial😂 In fact, this statement can be translated to mean: Writing code itself is no longer an original sin. For those developers who were arrested for writing a privacy protocol or taken to court for creating a wallet tool, this statement comes a bit late, but at least it has arrived😮‍💨 👀 But one question remains unclear: Where is the line drawn for "not assisting in crime"? DeFi protocols are open; anyone can use them, including some projects with ulterior motives. Developers write code, deploy it on-chain, and then walk away, only to find out three months later that someone used this protocol to launder $200 million. Does this count as "assisting"❓ ➤ According to the new stance: No, as long as you did not actively cooperate. But how do you define "actively cooperate"? Does the protocol have a front end? Is there a blacklist? Has the team ever received a warning? Every detail could potentially become evidence in a future case. The progress of the law is real, but the gray areas are also real. This statement addresses the issue of "obviously innocent developers," but the boundaries for completely anonymous privacy infrastructure like Tornado Cash remain unanswered. It seems that this line can only be gradually clarified through real cases, using developers' freedom and legal fees to draw it clearly. Take a breath of relief, but don't delete your lawyer's number🫣

#IBIT options historically surpass Deribit Institutions have taken control of BTC pricing: should retail investors be happy or worried❓ BlackRock's IBIT options open interest has reached $27.6 billion, historically surpassing Deribit's $26.9 billion, achieving this in less than two years compared to the latter's ten-year accumulation💰 The main battlefield for $BTC derivatives has officially shifted from offshore to the regulated market in the U.S. Spot $ETH has seen a net inflow of $2.1 billion for eight consecutive days, totaling $58 billion, with total AUM surpassing $102 billion, accounting for 6.5% of BTC's market cap. ➤ A cute little one asked, is this good or bad for us retail investors? 😃 The good side⬇️ Institutional funds enter slowly and exit slowly, making the bottom support thicker, reducing the probability of extreme market crashes. For long-term holders, this is a healthier structure. 🧐 The cautious side⬇️ ➊ Information asymmetry is intensifying. Institutions have more complete data and earlier policy information channels, and the information gap between retail and institutions will only grow. ➋ BTC's movements are increasingly following macro trends rather than on-chain fundamentals. The deep binding of ETFs and traditional finance is diluting the influence of crypto-native logic such as halving cycles and on-chain activity. ➌ Retail investors' first-mover advantage is disappearing. In areas where institutions are absent, retail investors can discover value earlier. Once institutions fully penetrate, this window will close. ➤ IBIT surpassing Deribit signifies more than just the scale of funds; it means that the pricing venue for BTC is shifting from "crypto-native rules" to "Wall Street rules." The endpoint of this path is: Bitcoin is becoming more like a stock rather than an alternative asset. What Minnie really wants to say is, whether this is evolution or alienation depends on why you initially held it. So is it worth it? It seems there is still no unified answer, but the rules are changing, whether we accept it or not💓

#Middle East Situation: Hormuz Stalemate, Ceasefire Extended Two rounds of mine laying have reduced the number of passing ships from over a hundred to single digits, and the Pentagon says it will take at least six months to clear. The Strait of Hormuz, which controls 20% of global oil transport, is being tightly squeezed 🤏 Nuclear negotiations are stalled (the U.S. demands a 20-year pause, while Iran counters with 5 years), and the ceasefire is in an "open-ended extension" state that could break at any moment, with Hezbollah on the Lebanese side still violating agreements by firing rockets. Multiple fronts are tense simultaneously, with no signs of easing on any. In this situation, rather than speculating on geopolitical trends, I am more concerned about how it affects the money we all have and our daily lives. 🧐 Let's talk about three things that are closest to us: 👉 Crude Oil — likely the first thing you'll feel. Brent has risen from $70 before the conflict to around $100 now, an increase of over 40%. This number may seem abstract, but its impact on daily life is faster than you think. Just a couple of days ago, I experienced a flight cancellation, and I reasonably suspect it’s related to oil prices; soaring aviation fuel costs have led airlines to cut unprofitable routes, which is the most direct response. Logistics, travel, manufacturing costs... the pressure from oil prices trickles down layer by layer, ultimately landing on consumers. Morgan Stanley has a judgment that I think is quite accurate: the market pricing logic is shifting from "who can produce more" to "who can transport it safely." Even if subsequent negotiations make progress, structural costs like insurance and transportation delays are already embedded in oil prices, and we won't return to pre-conflict levels in the short term. 👉 Gold — too expensive to buy. To be honest, the trend of gold is a bit unexpected. Before the war, it was actually skyrocketing, but during this cycle of the U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict and the blockade of Hormuz, gold prices have not continued to rise significantly, nor have they dropped much, just hovering in the $4770-$4800 range. The signal that central banks around the world are continuously buying is clear, and structural demand remains. But to be frank, gold is too expensive. For ordinary people, it's really hard to feel motivated to buy gold at this price, even though I personally quite like gold as an asset allocation. If gold prices could drop a bit more, it might stimulate my desire to buy 😂 I guess many people share my mindset, recognizing its value but waiting for a more comfortable entry price. 👉 $BTC — appears volatile on the surface, but is actually quite stable. Since Bitcoin broke through last October, its price has been on a downward adjustment, but if you look at it over a longer period, it has actually stabilized in the $70,000-$80,000 range for a long time. Now, a $1,000 rise or fall is called a "big fluctuation," possibly because of the high unit price and low holding volume, making everyone more sensitive to absolute numbers. But there is a change more important than the price itself: the pricing power of BTC is increasingly not in the hands of retail investors. The proportion of institutional holdings continues to rise, and ETF funds are buying on dips after each geopolitical shock; the panic among retail investors does not directly affect price direction. This is completely different from two or three years ago. 💬 Have you adjusted your positions because of the Middle East situation? Did you choose to be defensive and wait, or did you increase your stake in a certain asset?

#Kalshi&Polymarket Perpetual Contracts Entry The boundary of the prediction market is disappearing as perpetual contracts are sold. Kalshi (licensed by the CFTC) announced the launch of cryptocurrency perpetual contracts. Polymarket (the largest Web3 prediction market) immediately followed suit on the same day. The simultaneous announcement of this "decision" by both companies is not a coincidence, but rather feels like a "forced choice" 😂 Q: Who forced them? A: Hyperliquid, currently with a position volume of $7.31 billion, surpassing all other platforms combined. It has begun to enter the prediction market, using derivative logic for predictions. Kalshi and Polymarket's response is: to use prediction logic for derivatives. Both sides are crossing boundaries simultaneously, meeting in the middle, and the direction of the script is not a love story 💓 🧐 What is the fundamental difference between prediction markets and perpetual contracts? ➤ Perpetual Contracts: I believe $BTC will rise, so I open a long position. ➤ Prediction Market: I believe $BTC will rise, so I buy the "rise" outcome. The underlying logic is exactly the same, expressing future judgments with capital to profit from them. The only difference lies in the packaging and regulatory framework. The boundaries between the two tracks essentially no longer exist. Compliance dimensions are the most critical variable. Kalshi holds a CFTC license, and the perpetual contracts it launched are legal products within the U.S. regulatory framework. ➤ This means: the compliant U.S. perpetual contract market has finally seen real competition for the first time. Coinbase and Robinhood previously had almost no worthy competitors. Kalshi, armed with a license, has charged in, and the space for regulatory arbitrage is beginning to narrow. Hyperliquid illustrates one thing ➤ The $7.31 billion position tells us: users do not care whether it is decentralized or centralized; they care about liquidity, experience, and product depth. The defensive logic of Kalshi and Polymarket is very simple: rather than waiting for Hyperliquid to snatch away prediction market users, it is better to first bring in derivative users. Ultimately, it is all about the big decision of capturing market share (a small trick). When there are enough tools and sufficient liquidity, we users only need to ask one question: can this platform turn my future judgments into money? The platform that can answer this question will retain users. Hyperliquid has already started answering this question. Kalshi and Polymarket have just opened this book 📖 What do you think this integration will ultimately give birth to? 👇 Will you use it?

Wednesday is a very neutral day, but also a bit of an anticipated day🌞 Libras should really like Wednesdays, and creators 🧑🏻‍🎨 should love Wednesdays too! #创作者激励 Let's end the nonsense literature and wish everyone good luck🍀

# Countdown to the US-Iran Ceasefire: Vance's Urgent Trip to Pakistan Iran's Negotiation Strategy Illustrated: Saying no, but the body is honest 🤯 The Iranian president just made a statement: "The historic distrust of the US still exists." Then Iranian officials quietly revealed: The delegation has planned to depart for Islamabad. 😐 Okay, I get it, the clown is actually me. But babies, it's not the people's fault; it's a standard diplomatic script: ➤ The higher-ups are responsible for making strong statements to maintain a tough image. ➤ The practical team is responsible for sitting down and negotiating the details. The president says "historic distrust" to appease the hardliners at home / officials are packing their bags to board the plane, signaling to Washington and the markets. 🔴 The two statements are not contradictory; both are true. This kind of "tough stance from the top, flexible approach from the practical side" dual-track strategy is very common in diplomatic history. You think both sides are at odds, but behind the scenes, they are already negotiating prices. In truly broken negotiations, not even plane tickets would be bought. The ability to book tickets means there is still hope. ✈️ 👀 The market has also understood this signal. Against the backdrop of falling US stocks, $BTC rose against the trend to $75853, Brent crude oil +2.51% to $90.39. The rise in oil indicates that the market has not completely ruled out the possibility of continued blockades; the rise in BTC indicates that extreme emotions are receding. The smart money's judgment can be summed up in one sentence: The negotiations haven't collapsed, but they aren't over either. However, uncertainties still exist, as Trump has drawn two hard lines: ➊ It is "extremely unlikely" that the ceasefire agreement will be extended after it expires. ➋ The Strait of Hormuz will not be opened before the final agreement is signed. I don't believe this is the "bottom line" 🤪 There are only 72 hours left in the ceasefire window; can they reach an agreement this time? To be honest, this matter has dragged on for so long that I'm tired of watching it... Let's just get to the pictures ⬇️

#Kelp Incident Fermentation: Aave Faces a Run with $10.1 Billion Outflow The starting point of this crisis is a cross-chain bridge, but the endpoint is a trust crisis for the entire DeFi ecosystem. Here’s a breakdown of the core context👇 📋 Incident Background ➤ On April 18, the Kelp DAO's LayerZero cross-chain bridge was attacked, resulting in the theft of 116,500 ETH, worth approximately $292 million, making it the largest DeFi attack incident of 2026 so far. ➤ Preliminary investigations by LayerZero indicate that the attacker is likely the TraderTraitor organization under North Korea's Lazarus Group, which completed the attack by controlling the DVN validator node list and forging cross-chain messages. Following Bybit and Drift, Lazarus struck again in 2026. ⚡ Three Key Points ❶ How the attacker turned $292 million into $196 million in bad debt The attacker deposited the stolen rsETH into Aave V3 as collateral, borrowed a large amount of WETH, and then disappeared, leaving approximately $196 million in bad debt at Aave. Aave's own contracts were not attacked, but it became the main battleground of this crisis. ❷ How the run occurred After borrowing WETH, Aave's WETH depositors began to rush to withdraw funds—those who ran first could escape unscathed, while those who ran later bore the remaining losses. The utilization rate of the WETH pool quickly reached 100%, and depositors were unable to withdraw normally, having to borrow stablecoins to cash out, further worsening the liquidity crisis. Aave core contributor Marc Zeller shouted on-chain: Withdraw immediately, run first and talk later. ❸ How panic spread to the entire DeFi Within 48 hours, Aave saw a net outflow of over $10 billion, and the total value locked (TVL) in the entire DeFi ecosystem evaporated by $13.2 billion in two days. Multiple protocols, including Ethena, SparkLend, and Fluid, simultaneously suspended related functions, and even unaffected protocols faced massive withdrawals. 🔴 Current Loss Overview Aave TVL: $45.8 billion → $35.7 billion, a drop of 31.7% Total DeFi ecosystem TVL: $13.2 billion evaporated in 48 hours rsETH bad debt: $177 million–$196 million AAVE token: cumulative drop of 16% USDT borrowing annualized interest rate: surged to 15% ➤ Total DeFi losses in 2026: over $600 million, involving about 45 protocols 🔍 What This Exposed The root of the problem lies in LayerZero's "modular security" architecture, which, in the absence of minimum security standards, can trigger systemic risks due to single point failures. rsETH exists on more than 20 chains, and any crack in the bridging layer can simultaneously breach all nodes. Aave was not hacked, but it suffered the largest collateral damage because it accepted an asset from a hacked protocol as collateral. This is the core risk of DeFi composability: the security assumptions of each link are based on the premise that other links do not encounter problems. Cross-chain bridges remain the most dangerous attack surface in DeFi, and the speed at which crises spread from a single point to the ecosystem level is faster than anyone anticipated. The incident is still ongoing, and we will follow up with the latest developments as soon as possible 🔍$BTC $ETH Is your asset still in cross-chain protocols?👇

#Wall Street's Fifth Giant: Charles Schwab to Launch Crypto Spot Trading Services In the same month, five top institutions on Wall Street have successively laid out plans for crypto assets, but a closer comparison reveals that the paths taken by these five institutions are completely different. ▪️ Morgan Stanley launched a spot ETF, serving high-net-worth clients; ▪️ Goldman Sachs and BlackRock applied for income-generating ETFs, targeting institutional allocation needs; ▪️ Citigroup intervened as an authorized institution, creating liquidity channels for institutions. The commonality among these four is that their products are complex, have high thresholds, and serve only professional investors. What about ordinary people who want to participate? They either can't buy in or don't understand it. ▪️ Charles Schwab is doing something completely different, managing over $10 trillion in assets, with tens of millions of clients, covering the largest retail investor group in the U.S. But this time, Schwab is not pushing ETFs or creating institutional channels; it is simply adding a button to buy BTC in clients' existing accounts. No need to open a new account, no need to learn about wallets, no need to understand on-chain operations. It's as simple as buying Apple stock. The first four are following the "institutional first" route, allowing professional funds to enter first and establish market infrastructure. Schwab marks the beginning of the second phase: popularizing retail participation. Historically, every mainstreaming of an asset class follows the same pattern: institutions build the channels first, and retail follows. This was the case for gold ETFs, stock index funds, and likely for BTC as well. How significant could the potential impact be❓ With tens of millions of retail clients at Schwab, even if only 1% decide to allocate BTC, at an average of $1000 per person, that’s a potential incremental buying demand of $350 million. While this won't happen overnight, it will continue to be released over the next 12-24 months. The total scale of the $BTC spot ETF has already surpassed $96.5 billion. The next wave of incremental demand will no longer come from institutions, but from ordinary Americans' retirement accounts. 🎀 Minnie’s Summary - The core message is just one sentence: Wall Street has completed the transition from "We are researching crypto" to "We help you buy crypto." The next question is whether tens of millions of retail investors will really press that button👇
