According to the Bangkok Post, Thai police arrested a German national hacker who faces a total of 74 cybercrime-related warrants issued by Germany and the European Union. The public summary indicates that the case involves cyber extortion, hacking, and a DDoS-for-hire and "cybercrime-as-a-service" model targeting global clients. The related platform allows customers to launch DDoS attacks worldwide, causing victims' computer systems and websites to crash and become inaccessible; the ransom payments are made in cryptocurrencies and other digital currencies, thus being identified as transnationa

Wu Shuo learned that World Liberty Financial (WLF) co-founder Zach Witkoff issued a statement in response to Peter Girnus's allegations, stating that the content is seriously inconsistent with the facts and that there is no connection between the two parties. Zach Witkoff emphasized that WLF has no relationship with "Trump Meme Coin" and CIC Digital, and that the project's main product is a stablecoin rather than a Meme Coin, and does not profit from transaction fees. Regarding the price, he stated that WLFI's current price of $0.08 is still higher than the early costs of $0.015 to $0.05, and

Wu Says learned from XWIN Research Japan’s analysis that in March 2026, the US CPI rose year over year to 3.3%, with inflation picking up again, which is also changing the market’s understanding of BTC pricing. However, the institution believes that this round of inflation is more like being driven by supply-side shocks such as rising oil prices and supply chain disruptions, rather than overheating demand.
In this environment, BTC can no longer be simply seen as an inflation-hedge tool; its price is more affected by changes in real interest rates, the US dollar, liquidity, and overall demand.

Wu said that the Kenyan Ministry of Finance officially announced that the public consultation process for the "2026 Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) Regulatory Regulations Draft" has been completed.

Wu said that the latest development brief released by the Ethereum Foundation, "Checkpoint #9," disclosed that the Glamsterdam upgrade has been delayed due to the high difficulty of implementing ePBS (protocol-internal PBS), and overall progress has been pushed back. Developers expect to launch the first broad development network next week. The subsequent Hegotá upgrade has confirmed that FOCIL (EIP-7805) will be the top feature of the consensus layer, and proposals for non-headlining features have been open since April 9.

The Argentine National Securities Commission (CNV) issued General Resolution No. 1125/2026, officially allowing virtual assets to be included in an individual’s net worth in order to determine whether they meet the “qualified investor” standard. The new rules define virtual assets as digital representations of value that can be traded, transferred, and used for payments or investment—meaning that assets such as Bitcoin, stablecoins, and others can now be used to offset the approximately $479,000 qualified investor entry threshold. Although the crypto-related banking ban introduced in 2022 has

According to the Chainalysis report, the adjusted real economic transaction volume of stablecoins is expected to grow from $28 trillion in 2025 to $71.9 trillion in 2035. If macro catalytic factors are added, it could approach $1.5 quadrillion. The report points out that starting from 2028, approximately $100 trillion will be transferred globally from the older generation to the younger generation, and because Millennials and Generation Z have a very high acceptance of cryptocurrencies, this will become the primary driver of stablecoin explosion. Additionally, as stablecoins become more widesp

"Advances in Quantum Technology: An Opportunity for the Encryption Industry?" (Written by Sean Stein Smith, translated by Saoirse, Foresight News)
Risks are no longer just about "whether quantum computers will appear," but whether existing systems can be migrated quickly enough to post-quantum encryption systems;
Estimates suggest that "quantum nodes" may arrive as early as 2029, leaving the industry with a shorter time window to respond than most financial infrastructure upgrade cycles;
Investors often price in these structural risks before they fully materialize, which means capital wi

Crypto market maker Wintermute policy chief Ron Hammond stated that although legislative momentum in Washington is increasing, the probability of the Clarity Act passing in 2026 is only 30%. The bill aims to regulate the structure of the U.S. crypto market and clarify the regulatory responsibilities of the SEC and CFTC. Hammond pointed out that opposition from banks is the biggest obstacle, especially regarding whether stablecoins should generate yields. A compromise "yield agreement" proposal put forward about two weeks ago has already failed. (CoinDesk)

In response to rumors that Iran may seek to collect shipping tolls using cryptocurrencies, Kaitlin Martin, a senior intelligence analyst at Chainalysis, stated that under the current sanctions framework, any payments made to the Iranian government (including key waterway transit fees) could be considered "material support," posing serious sanctions risks for shipping companies that violate U.S. and international restrictions. Martin pointed out that while cryptocurrencies enable cross-border transfers outside the traditional financial system, their ledgers are transparent and permanently recor

《Stablecoin Issuance Market: Four Business Models Reshaping the Market》（Written by Tiger Research, compiled by AididiaoJP, Foresight News）Stablecoins are not a single-track category.
