On April 9, as tensions between the U.S. and Iran eased temporarily, Wall Street began to form a trading logic centered around Trump's policy style—referred to as 'TACO Trading' (Trump Always Chickens Out). The market generally believes that Trump's hardline statements in geopolitics often end in compromise, viewing escalations as buying signals. Data shows that the market had already positioned itself for risk assets before Trump announced a pause in military actions against Iran. The S&P 500 index recorded its first weekly gain in six weeks, and the risk premium in the options market remained low, indicating limited investor reaction to extreme scenarios. Institutional views suggest that the current market is repeating a cycle of 'conflict escalation—emotional pressure—cooling situation—asset rebound.' Some analysts point out that systematic investors are in 'one of the most profitable environments in history.' However, there are also warnings that such a high level of consensus may weaken the market's constraints on policy. If the market no longer reacts negatively to aggressive rhetoric, it could incentivize riskier policy actions, increasing potential tail risks.

On April 9, according to ITV News, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister stated that an Iranian delegation will travel to Islamabad for peace negotiations, but only if Israel stops its attacks on Lebanon. Any peace agreement in the region must include Lebanon, and the next few hours will be crucial. Last night, Iran nearly took retaliatory action but ultimately restrained itself to allow for diplomatic efforts, also due to the United States' request for Israel to cease its attacks on Lebanon.

On April 9, WeChat Pay officially launched its AI-native integration toolbox, providing low-threshold payment integration solutions for merchants and developers, allowing for the rapid generation of payment function code through natural language commands. This toolbox consists of Skill skill packages, AI-friendly documentation, and APIs, enabling one-click invocation in mainstream AI development environments. The 'verbal code generation' feature can compress a development process that typically takes days into just minutes, facilitating quick integration of over 20 functions such as mini-program payments, H5 payments, refunds, and revenue sharing. Additionally, the toolbox includes built-in AI diagnostic capabilities that can automatically identify code logic issues and provide repair suggestions, reducing financial and system risks during the integration process. For developers with existing systems, it also supports interface debugging and legacy code upgrades. This upgrade further promotes the standardization and AI integration of payment capabilities, lowering the digital business threshold for small and medium-sized merchants.

On April 9, following Trump's announcement of a two-week temporary ceasefire between the US and Iran, market risk sentiment quickly improved, leading to a significant rebound in the three major US stock indices. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by over 1,300 points in a single day, marking its best performance in nearly a year; meanwhile, WTI crude oil futures plummeted by more than 16%. Tom Lee, head of research at Fundstrat, stated that the current market has confirmed a phase bottom and is moving back toward historical highs. He noted that despite the previous surge in oil prices and escalating conflicts, the stock market did not exhibit a significant decline, demonstrating strong market resilience, with the ceasefire acting as a catalyst for sentiment reversal. He predicts that the S&P 500 index could rise to 7,300 points within the year, representing an upside potential of about 7.6% from current levels, and is optimistic about the subsequent performance of technology stocks, software, energy, and financial sectors. The 'Magnificent Seven' tech giants are seen as the core driving force behind this rebound. Several institutional investors also believe that with geopolitical risks easing and oil prices falling, the market is entering a phase of 'relief rebound,' coinciding with the upcoming earnings season, which may present a window for strategic positioning.

On April 8, POLITICO reported that several law enforcement groups, including the National Sheriffs' Association and the Association of Prosecuting Attorneys, recently sent letters to congressional members opposing a provision in the Senate cryptocurrency market structure bill that protects DeFi software developers from being classified as money transmitters. They argue that this provision would weaken law enforcement's ability to combat financial crimes. Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott and Senator Cynthia Lummis insist that the provision must remain unchanged, while the cryptocurrency industry has also made it clear that they will not accept modifications to the substantive text. Democratic Senator and Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and others have called for adjustments to the wording. It remains uncertain whether the bill will gain bipartisan support for committee review after Congress reconvenes.

On April 9, the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) released guidelines for the issuance of virtual assets on Thursday, clearly defining the structural design, information disclosure, and distribution methods for stablecoins and Real World Asset (RWA) tokens. The guidelines categorize token issuance into three pathways: Category 1 includes fiat-pegged and asset-backed virtual assets; Category 2 requires distribution through licensed intermediaries, which are responsible for due diligence and ongoing compliance verification; and Category 3 consists of functionally restricted exempt virtual assets. VARA's legal advisor, Ruben Bombardi, stated that the framework enhances transparency through white papers and independent risk disclosure statements, providing issuers with 'greater regulatory certainty' and offering market participants a 'single, exclusive reference basis.' These guidelines serve as an interpretative document for the existing 'Virtual Asset Issuance Rules Manual' and do not constitute new legislation.

SBF tweeted: "I'm sorry.  That's the biggest thing. I fucked up, and should have done better. FTX International currently has a total market value of assets/collateral higher than client deposits (moves with prices!). But that's different from liquidity for delivery--as you can tell from the state of withdrawals. The liquidity varies widely, from very to very little. We're spending the week doing everything we can to raise liquidity. I can't make any promises about that.  But I'm going to try.  And give anything I have to if that will make it work."
