On April 16, Yi Lihua, founder of Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital), acknowledged that he is quite ordinary yet important. Whether in traditional industries or entering the cryptocurrency space, we have always focused on primary investment and secondary trading. Although operating projects and trading platforms can be very profitable, our energy and capabilities are indeed limited, leaving us only to admire and envy others. In 2018, we incubated a market-making firm, but the team kept the profits for themselves and left the losses to us, which led to a painful exit in 2019. Since then, I have not been deeply involved in market making; at most, I have invested in some promising trading teams. Conspiracy theories are always popular, but I am not a jack-of-all-trades; I simply do not have the ability or energy to manage projects, and trading platforms are very aware of this.

On April 16, on-chain analyst Murphy indicated that the cost for short-term holders (1-3m_RP) holding for 1-3 months is approximately $75,400, which is near the current price. In this downtrend, BTC has rebounded close to this resistance level for the second time. The last rebound near this position occurred between January 13 and January 19, where a slight breakthrough led to selling pressure and continued pullback. Based on historical data, the analyst believes that the likelihood of another pullback is high, as in the past three cycles, there has never been a successful reversal on just the second challenge of a resistance level. Additionally, there is a potential scenario where BTC could break through but encounter greater resistance above, specifically at the average cost line for short-term holders (STH-RP). Currently, around 2.31 million BTC are located at approximately $81,000, and if BTC faces resistance here after an upward movement, the market will need time to digest the selling pressure and begin to cautiously choose a direction.

On April 16, JPMorgan analysts stated that negotiations on the U.S. Cryptocurrency Market Structure Act (the CLARITY Act) have entered the final stage, with both sides working to reach compromises on a few remaining contentious points. The number of disputes has been reduced from over a dozen to 2-3 core issues, with discussions on stablecoin rewards being "in a good place." While banks express concerns about stablecoins offering similar yields to deposits, there is an overall bipartisan compromise trend. JPMorgan believes that "there is no perfect bill"; once passed, the act will provide important regulatory clarity for the integration of digital assets into the U.S. financial system. The remaining major disagreements focus on stablecoin rewards, DeFi regulation, and token classification. Although optimism is rising, there is still a risk of delays due to the 2026 midterm elections, which could lead to a more uncertain political environment. If the act is ultimately passed, it will delineate the regulatory authority between the SEC and CFTC, bringing a long-term regulatory framework for stablecoins, DeFi, and the entire cryptocurrency industry.

According to CoinDesk, the European Union’s financial stability watchdog has said that new regulations may be needed to cover large crypto conglomerates and smart contracts, as it warns that a growing digital asset and decentralized finance (DeFi) sector may come to pose a systemic risk to the economy.
With the new Markets in Crypto Assets regulation (MiCA) set to take effect within the bloc in 2024, the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB), chaired by EU central bank chief Christine Lagarde, warned in a Thursday report of the risks of crypto lending and staking, and of high leverage in digital asset markets.
Under one policy option, “DeFi developers could be required to abide by specific regulations covering the design and creation of smart contracts,” the report said. It floats the possibility of mandatory code audits, pharmaceutical-style intellectual property restrictions, and rules for the “oracles” that transmit real-world data to automated software.
