On April 4, reports from the U.S. tech media outlet The Information revealed that China's AI startup DeepSeek is set to release its next-generation flagship model V4, which will be fully operated on Huawei's self-developed chips. This is seen as an important milestone in China's push for semiconductor autonomy. V4 is expected to launch in the coming weeks and has been developed in collaboration with Huawei and chip designer Cambricon over several months, during which the underlying code of the model was rewritten to ensure compatibility with domestic chips. Notably, DeepSeek has not granted Nvidia early testing access for V4, instead inviting domestic chip companies to participate in early optimization, breaking industry norms. Chinese tech giants such as Alibaba, ByteDance, and Tencent have already placed substantial orders for Huawei's latest Ascend 950PR chips, totaling hundreds of thousands of units, intending to deploy V4 through cloud services and integrate it into their own AI applications. The surge in demand has driven the chip's price up by approximately 20%. V4 employs a mixture of experts (MoE) architecture, with a total parameter count of around 1 trillion, activating about 37 billion parameters per inference, supporting multimodal inputs of text, images, and code while maintaining low latency. Last year, DeepSeek's release of the low-cost models V3 and R1 led to a significant drop in global tech stocks, raising questions about whether U.S. AI companies need to spend billions on computing power. Consequently, V4 has garnered significant international attention.

On April 4, Huatai Securities stated that the March non-farm payrolls exceeding expectations demonstrate resilience in the U.S. job market. However, amid the escalating conflict in the Middle East, the impact of high oil prices on inflation expectations is more critical for the Federal Reserve's monetary policy. The recent continuation of conflict in the Middle East and the supply gap caused by the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz have driven up oil prices and inflation expectations. Currently, inflation is the core variable for the Fed's monetary policy. The dual targets of employment and inflation provide some leeway, allowing the Fed to avoid raising interest rates to combat inflation. Even if the Fed does not raise rates, rising inflation expectations could lead to an upward shift in the Treasury yield curve, resulting in a substantive tightening.

On April 4, Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart stated that as investor demand surpasses the traditional narrative of 'digital gold', the assets under management (AUM) of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are expected to exceed those of gold ETFs.

He pointed out that Bitcoin is not only digital gold and a store of value but can also serve as a diversifying asset in a portfolio, as well as a form of digital capital and digital property. At the same time, the market views Bitcoin as a 'growth-oriented risk asset.' Seyffart explained that Bitcoin possesses multiple attributes and narratives, whereas gold only has one. He added, 'Our view is that the size of Bitcoin ETFs will exceed that of gold ETFs.'

On April 4, the Cambodian Senate announced that Cambodia has unanimously passed new legislation targeting scam syndicates, focusing on cross-border fraud involving cryptocurrencies. The bill was approved with 58 votes and will officially take effect pending royal approval. The new law stipulates that individuals involved in organized fraud activities will face 2 to 5 years in prison and fines of up to $125,000; if gang involvement or multiple victims are involved, penalties will be increased, potentially doubling the punishment. This legislation comes in response to ongoing international concerns regarding scam syndicates in Southeast Asia. These facilities have been linked to organized crime, including cryptocurrency fraud, and are associated with serious issues such as forced labor. Previously, countries like the United States and the United Kingdom have imposed sanctions on related networks, and Cambodia has cooperated in extraditing involved individuals. Analysts believe this law marks Cambodia's first criminal legislative effort to directly combat cryptocurrency-related fraud infrastructure. However, the market generally believes that the actual effectiveness will still depend on the enforcement strength. Past issues with weak regulatory enforcement may continue to be a key variable affecting the law's effectiveness. From an industry perspective, this move reflects a global tightening of regulations against cryptocurrency fraud, with future trading platforms and on-chain platforms potentially facing higher compliance requirements in anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) practices.
