On April 12, crypto analyst Axel Adler Jr stated that the current Bitcoin pullback appears to be significantly milder than the bear markets observed during the same phases of the 2017-18 and 2021-22 cycles. However, based solely on the current pullback magnitude, it is still insufficient to assert that a bottom has formed. The maximum drawdown in the 2021-22 cycle was -54%, in the 2017-18 cycle it was -64%, and in the 2013-15 cycle it was -43%. The current market dynamics are more akin to a mild bear market, and it has not yet entered a deep capitulation phase, making it impossible to confirm a bottom. The analyst believes that we are currently experiencing a pause in the bear market, rather than a reversal in market trends.

On April 12, G.Love, a musician from Philadelphia, reported that while switching computers and reconfiguring his Ledger cryptocurrency wallet, he mistakenly downloaded a malicious counterfeit application from the Apple App Store. This resulted in the transfer of approximately 5.92 bitcoins in a short period. Blockchain detective ZachXBT later stated that he had traced the flow of the stolen funds, which had been transferred through a recharge address of a centralized exchange (CEX). ZachXBT also questioned the review mechanism of the Apple App Store, claiming that the platform's allowance of counterfeit applications has further amplified the security risks to users' assets.

In an interview video released by Russia Today on April 12, Ibrahim Azizi, the chairman of the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, stated that the Americans need a negotiated agreement more than Iran does, and therefore the U.S. must accept all conditions and prerequisites. He emphasized that if the U.S. does not accept, Iran will not change its stance. He also expressed that Iran does not trust the Americans, believing that a country with an arrogant and colonial mindset, which sees itself as principled, will not respect the interests of other nations and their political systems, nor will it honor contracts and agreements.

On April 12, The New York Times reported that the US-Iran negotiations currently face three main sticking points: the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the issue of enriched uranium, and the unfreezing of Iran's overseas assets. Regarding the Strait of Hormuz, Iran has rejected the US proposal for 'joint control' and insists on maintaining its control over the strait, claiming the right to charge passing ships a 'toll.' Iran stated that it would only consider arrangements for the strait's reopening after a final peace agreement is reached. The US, on the other hand, holds a completely opposite stance. President Trump stated on the 10th that the Strait of Hormuz is international waters and will be 'opened soon,' regardless of 'Iran's cooperation,' and he will not allow Iran to collect tolls. On the nuclear issue, the US demands that Iran hand over its entire stockpile of near-weapons-grade enriched uranium, which weighs about 900 pounds. Iran has proposed a counteroffer, but the two sides have failed to reach a compromise. Additionally, the US requires Iran not only to refrain from developing nuclear weapons currently but also to commit long-term to not acquiring related capabilities and technologies. The US stated that it has 'not yet seen a clear willingness from Iran.' Regarding frozen assets, Iran demands compensation from the US for damages caused by six weeks of airstrikes and the unfreezing of approximately $27 billion in oil revenues located in Iraq, Luxembourg, Bahrain, Japan, Turkey, and Germany for post-war reconstruction. The US has rejected these demands.

According to TheBlock, LeadBlock Partners, a venture capital firm based in London and Paris, completed the first close of its new fund, which has a target value of $150 million (€150 million).
Founded only two years ago by former Goldman Sachs employees David Chreng-Messembourg, Baptiste Cota and Jean-Marc Puel, this is the firm's second fund, which it has so far raised capital in the tens of millions. With its first, it made bets on startups such as Yuga Labs, Bitpanda and BlockFi.
"We've raised and deployed most of our first fund over the past two years," said Chreng-Messembourg in an interview with The Block. "But we've been pushed by our LPs to launch fund two faster as we're in a cooldown period where there's a lot of value to be created."
The new fund, which will invest in both tokens and equity, is backed by family offices, hedge fund managers and financial institutions — as well as a who's who of crypto market makers. These include GSR, the Coatue-backed Portofino Technologies, Woorton and Keyrock among others. Wintermute co-founder Yoann Turpin is also investing in the fund, as is SwissBorg founder Cyrus Fazel.
