On April 7, Monday, the cryptocurrency advocacy group responded to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding a letter from Citadel in December, which called for stricter regulation of DeFi. In December, Citadel stated that many DeFi protocols connect buyers and sellers through non-discretionary methods such as algorithms, fitting the definition of exchanges. The company urged the SEC to adopt a more formal approach to rulemaking through announcements and comments, rather than granting exemptions as currently considered by regulators. However, the Blockchain Association refuted this stance, arguing that DeFi protocol developers are neither brokers nor dealers and do not operate exchanges, and therefore "cannot be forced into statutory categories designed for intermediaries that operate manually."

On April 7, the on-chain prediction market platform Polymarket announced that it will undergo its "largest infrastructure upgrade since launch" within the next 2-3 weeks, including a comprehensive overhaul of its matching engine and the introduction of a native stablecoin, Polymarket USD. This upgrade will introduce a new CTF Exchange V2 smart contract system, optimizing matching logic and order structure, improving matching efficiency, and reducing gas costs. Additionally, the platform will upgrade its Central Limit Order Book (CLOB) to a hybrid model of off-chain order matching and on-chain settlement. On the asset side, Polymarket will launch the native stablecoin Polymarket USD, pegged 1:1 to USDC, to replace the previous cross-chain version USDC.e on Polygon, enhancing asset security and consistency. Furthermore, the platform will support the EIP-1271 standard, allowing multi-signature wallets (such as Safe) to participate directly in trading, further expanding use cases for institutions and advanced users. Polymarket stated that the existing order book will be cleared during the upgrade, and specific maintenance times will be announced one week in advance. This upgrade comes at a time of intensified competition in the prediction market sector, as the platform accelerates its performance and user experience enhancements.

On April 7, Chaos Labs announced that it will end its role as a core contributor to the Aave ecosystem after three years. The team stated that there are fundamental disagreements regarding 'risk management approaches,' which have continued to widen as the protocol develops. Chaos Labs pointed out three main reasons: 
· Loss of core contributors has significantly increased operational pressure and risk. 
· Aave V4 expands the scope of risk management while increasing operational and legal burdens. 
· Long-term participation has been in a state of loss, and even with increased budgets, profitability remains difficult to achieve. 
The team stated that the current path either requires lowering execution standards or continuing to incur losses, both of which are unacceptable, leading to the decision to exit.
