On April 20, at the 2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival, Ye Zhiheng, Executive Director of the Intermediaries Division of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission, delivered a keynote speech. He reviewed six major milestones since the Commission launched the ASPIRe roadmap last year, including allowing licensed platforms to offer staking services, conducting joint consultations on virtual asset trading and custody regulations, opening up perpetual contracts and margin financing frameworks, and launching plans to enhance market defenses through technology. He noted that the draft regulations on virtual asset trading, custody, management, and advisory have reached 260 pages and were received last week. The work for the next 12 months will focus on three major clusters: first, promoting innovation through regulation by advancing legislative and regulatory guidance consultations; second, promoting innovation through practice by gradually allowing tokenized authorized funds to trade on licensed platforms; and third, promoting innovation through interaction by advancing automated reporting, signing international bilateral memoranda, and frameworks to combat financial crime. He emphasized that Hong Kong is 'moving steadily forward, gaining speed through stability.'

On April 20, Cobo announced the release of the Cobo Agentic Wallet (CAW), a dedicated wallet product for AI Agents. This is the world's first self-custodial Agent wallet based on MPC, featuring the Pact human-machine authorization protocol and Recipe-driven Agent scenario strategies. These three innovations empower Agents with autonomous execution capabilities while ensuring that users maintain clear and verifiable control. The launched MPC mode is designed for high-risk or large transactions, with plans to introduce a custodial mode suitable for high-frequency scenarios in the future. CAW has integrated various Agent frameworks, including LangChain, OpenAI Agents SDK, Claude MCP, Agno, and CrewAI, and can support over 80 mainstream public chains and more than 3,000 tokens. Cobo believes that Agents need sufficient autonomy to be useful, while humans require enough certainty to use them confidently. Therefore, CAW aims to transform the high-risk attempt of delegating on-chain operations to AI Agents into a controllable, reliable, and auditable system capability. The product is currently open for invitation code applications, and documentation, SDK, and Recipe library will be provided simultaneously.

On April 20, on-chain data analyst Murphy stated that BTC has begun to fill the gap, with a 'cursed' range in the current cycle's chip structure between $72,000 and $80,000. Whether during the rise in 2024 or the decline in 2026, BTC has quickly passed through this range, resulting in a lack of chip turnover and creating a gap in the BTC chip structure. With recent price fluctuations, the BTC gap has slowly narrowed to $78,000-$80,000, during which nearly 200,000 BTC changed hands between $76,000 and $77,000 from April 17 to 18. The presence of funds supporting this level reflects a gradual restoration of market confidence. After sufficient turnover, chips are evenly distributed along the price line, which is conducive to accelerating the formation of a bottom structure. Recently, during market fluctuations, the chip accumulation zone between $63,000 and $68,000 was not breached, and the upper gap was successfully filled, inadvertently increasing the likelihood of this range becoming a bottom.

On April 20, the stablecoin platform Reserve announced on Ethereum that it is closely monitoring the attack on the Kelp DAO's LayerZero bridge. Currently, it is assessed that Reserve DTF holders are unlikely to be affected. If the rsETH on the mainnet significantly depreciates (potentially by 15.5-18.5%), Aave may incur bad debts, which could subsequently impact the USDC collateral in Aave V3. RSR stakers in the Reserve protocol's USD3 and eUSD may provide protection as 'first loss capital,' but the impact is minimal, and the RSR is over-collateralized enough to cover it. ETH+ and bsdETH contain no rsETH collateral, posing zero risk. As a precaution, Reserve has temporarily suspended the minting and rebalancing of eUSD and USD3, as well as the unlocking of RSR. The redemption function remains open, and users who require RSR over-collateralization protection are advised to continue holding.
