On April 15, CBS reported that the White House stated 103 empty tankers are heading to U.S. ports to load American crude oil. The White House claims that with record energy production, the U.S. is providing a "critical lifeline to the world" amid the global oil and gas crisis. The Trump administration noted that among the 103 empty vessels, 54 are Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs), each capable of transporting about 2 million barrels of crude oil. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the U.S. is the world's largest crude oil producer, with a daily output of 13 million barrels before the outbreak of war. The U.S. exports about 11 million barrels of oil daily and imports 8 million barrels, making it a net exporter of oil.

On April 15, Reuters reported that two U.S. government officials stated on Tuesday that the Trump administration will allow the 30-day sanctions waiver for Iran's maritime oil to expire later this week, as the U.S. is currently enforcing a blockade on shipments from Iranian ports. This waiver, issued by the U.S. Treasury on March 20, allowed approximately 14 million barrels of oil to enter the global market and alleviated energy supply pressures during the war against Iran. U.S. Treasury Secretary Mnuchin indicated last month that the waiver will expire on April 19. As this decision comes to light, lawmakers from both parties have criticized the government for temporarily easing sanctions on Iran and Russia amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. One U.S. official stated that Washington has various means to target entities purchasing Iranian oil, including 'secondary sanctions.' The source added, 'Moreover, with the restoration of UN sanctions against Iran and Iran's historical attempts to mask its illegal activities through seemingly legitimate actions, any transactions with Iran could trigger additional sanctions.'

On April 15, according to Fortune magazine, Anthropic is facing criticism from some core users due to a decline in the performance of its Claude model. These issues have forced the company to address speculation about its motives and service capabilities as it reportedly prepares for an IPO. Many developers and heavy users have noted a significant drop in the performance of Anthropic's Claude model, characterized by difficulties in following instructions, inappropriate shortcuts in complex tasks, and an increase in error rates. User complaints are largely focused on Anthropic's programming tool, Claude Code. The problems appear to be related to recent adjustments made by Anthropic to the model's operation, as the company lowered the default 'effort level' to reduce the number of tokens processed per request, thereby saving computational resources. Speculation suggests that after a recent surge in product usage, Anthropic may be facing resource constraints. Anthropic has not provided a detailed response to the related complaints. Boris Cherny, the product lead for Claude Code, responded to user complaints online, stating that the company has adjusted the default 'effort level' to 'medium' in response to previous user feedback about high token consumption, but some users feel that the company did not adequately disclose this change.

On April 15, the Central Bank of Russia announced plans to require all cryptocurrency traders to complete identity verification (KYC) and restrict unverified users from withdrawing crypto assets from local platforms, in order to strengthen regulation of the domestic crypto market. 
According to the proposed rules, Russia will require local exchanges to fully implement a real-name system and prohibit users from transferring funds from domestic custodial wallets to overseas non-custodial wallets. Additionally, regulatory authorities plan to require residents to declare their overseas cryptocurrency holdings to enhance monitoring of capital outflows. 
Vladimir Chistyukhin, Deputy Chairman of the Central Bank, stated that the new regulations will not prohibit individuals from holding or using crypto assets, but will focus on increasing transparency and compliance to prevent money laundering risks. 
This policy is expected to take effect in July this year alongside a new round of cryptocurrency regulatory legislation. Analysts believe this move reflects Russia's attempt to control capital flows through strengthened crypto regulation in the context of economic pressure.
