According to monitoring by 1M AI News, after being mentioned in a lengthy investigation by The New Yorker, Paul Graham posted twice to address controversies related to Sam Altman. He first refuted the narrative in the article regarding Sam's departure from Y Combinator. The New Yorker claimed that Graham had privately maintained that Sam's removal from YC was related to a lack of trust from partners; however, Graham stated that this was not the case, reiterating that Sam was not 'fired/removed' from YC, but rather asked to choose between YC and OpenAI. Graham also specifically addressed the article's reference to the famous old remark: 'If you dropped Sam on a cannibal island, he would be king in five years.' The New Yorker placed this statement in the context of discussions about Sam's willpower, power style, and credibility; Graham, however, asserted that the remark was originally meant to illustrate Sam's 'resilience, adaptability, and decisiveness,' without any 'dark' implications.

On April 7, Bloomberg reported that data from brokerage firm Compass Inc. shows that the median home price in San Francisco soared to a record $2.15 million in March, an 18% increase compared to the same period last year, primarily driven by the influx of wealth generated by AI startups into the city. Similarly, apartment prices in San Francisco also saw a significant rise, increasing by 27% to $1.36 million, just below the peak of $1.375 million in April 2022. Patrick Carlisle, Chief Market Analyst at Compass, stated in the report: "The economic changes brought about by the Iran war—such as rising interest rates and financial market volatility—have not affected the extremely hot market dynamics in San Francisco, which are fueled by new job opportunities and wealth generated by the boom of AI startups." Companies like OpenAI and Anthropic have sparked a new gold rush in San Francisco, with employees investing their wealth into this compact city with nearly no new housing developments. Compass noted that at least 22 homes sold for over $5 million in March, setting a monthly record. Additionally, 24 apartments sold for over $3 million—also a record for a single month. The surge in San Francisco home prices contrasts with the moderate increase across the U.S., where home prices rose only 0.8% year-over-year as tracked by Zillow Group Inc. The previous peak for home prices in this California city was in April 2022, when buyers rushed to close deals before interest rates surged.

On April 7, BIT Official released a chart indicating a significant decline in cryptocurrency spot trading volume, with the average daily trading amount dropping from $41 billion in December 2024 to $26.6 billion in October 2025, and falling to just $8 billion in the past 30 days. Spot trading volume is a key indicator of altcoin performance, reflecting market participation and risk appetite. The current contraction in trading activity helps explain the ongoing weakness in altcoins: sluggish trading activity translates into lackluster price trends and deteriorating market sentiment. For any sustained altcoin rally to genuinely commence, a substantial rebound in trading volume is necessary. In the absence of clear catalysts, the likelihood of a broad market uptrend remains low. Currently, trading volume is concentrating on a few assets, while overall market participation remains relatively low.

On April 7, the UK Times reported, citing a diplomatic memo, that Iran's current Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is reportedly incapacitated and is receiving medical treatment in the holy city of Qom. The report states that Mojtaba is in serious condition, in a coma, and is unable to participate in any decision-making due to his 'serious' health issues. This memo, obtained by the Times, reveals for the first time the location of the Supreme Leader. The central city of Qom, located 87 miles south of Tehran, is considered a holy site in Shia Islam. Although US and Israeli intelligence agencies previously claimed to have tracked his movements, the current situation adds significant uncertainty to the ongoing turmoil in the Persian Gulf, especially as the deadline set by Trump approaches and Iran's leadership may be in a power vacuum.

On April 7, Mark Dowding, Chief Investment Officer of BlueBay, stated in a report that Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is very focused on achieving economic growth. From this perspective, some believe she may wish to delay the Bank of Japan's rate normalization. However, he noted that a more dovish Bank of Japan could raise concerns about prolonged inflation overshoot, which would put pressure on the yield curve of Japanese government bonds. Mark Dowding stated, 'We remain optimistic that the yield curve of 10 to 30-year Japanese government bonds can further flatten in the medium term.' (Jinshi)

United States prosecutors are asking the court to sentence former BitMEX employee Greg Dwyer to 12 months probation for wilfully failing to establish, implement and maintain an anti-money laundering (AML) program at the cryptocurrency exchange.
Dwyer had asked that the court recognize his time already served by refusing to sentence him to probation.
Dwyer, who initially pleaded guilty in August, was BitMEX’s first hired employee and eventually was appointed its head of business development. 
Dwyer’s charge—violating the Bank Secrecy Act—carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison. He’s already paid a $150,000 fine as part of his plea agreement.
