II. Industry Updates

Macro-economic Policies

1.

The Federal Reserve, under new chair Kevin Warsh, has sharply reduced forward guidance in its communications, increasing policy uncertainty and market volatility. This shift may lead to higher interest rates and greater risk-asset price swings, impacting Bitcoin and DeFi liquidity as investors focus more on actual liquidity flows than rate-cut expectations.

2.

India has upgraded its key economic indicators, including GDP, CPI, and WPI, with new base years and improved methodologies. These changes provide more accurate inflation and growth data, which could influence global capital flows and crypto market sentiment, especially for stablecoins and tokenized assets.

3.

Iran has resumed crude oil exports from Kharg Island after a six-week US Navy blockade ended, restoring 1.5 million barrels per day to global supply. The potential use of cryptocurrency for Hormuz transit fees could boost real-world crypto adoption but also increase regulatory scrutiny on digital assets.

4.

The USD/JPY exchange rate has reached a 40-year low, driven by divergent monetary policies between the US and Japan. This sharp yen depreciation may increase capital flows into dollar-denominated crypto assets, affecting Bitcoin and stablecoin demand.

5.

Bitcoin market focus is shifting from Fed rate-cut speculation to actual liquidity and capital flows, as the Fed reduces forward guidance. This structural change may increase volatility and weaken ETF inflows, making on-chain liquidity and stablecoin supply more critical for crypto price action.

1.

Thai authorities seized 315 crypto mining rigs in a crackdown on illegal electricity use, signaling stricter enforcement and raising compliance risks for mining operations in Southeast Asia.

2.

Mainstreet's MSUSD stablecoin lost its dollar peg after its proof-of-reserves provider terminated service, exposing regulatory gaps in stablecoin transparency and shaking investor confidence in DeFi stable assets.

3.

COINHUB installed Western Japan's first FSA-regulated Bitcoin ATM in Osaka, expanding compliant crypto access and reflecting Japan's ongoing regulatory support for digital asset infrastructure.

4.

South Korea's petition to abolish crypto taxation surpassed 58,000 signatures, prompting legislative review and highlighting growing public resistance to planned virtual asset tax policies.

5.

Hong Kong police arrested over 2,000 people for fraud and money laundering in Q1, with 70% involving shell accounts, underscoring intensified anti-money laundering enforcement in the region's crypto sector.

1.

Jupiter (JUP): Jupiter surged over 15% in the past 24h, driven by renewed Solana DeFi activity and DEX aggregator rotation, with trading volume exceeding $62M and strong inflows from recent protocol upgrades.

2.

PUMP.fun (PUMP): PUMP.fun jumped 12.18% in 24h as social hype and whale accumulation fueled a rebound, with $67.98M in trading volume and buyback/burn programs supporting price momentum despite recent activity drops.

3.

Aerodrome Finance (AERO): Aerodrome Finance rose 10.55% in 24h, boosted by whale accumulation and protocol catalysts, with $66.96M in volume and positive sentiment around liquidity upgrades and predictive allocation features.

Smart Money Movements
