On April 2, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi issued an open letter to the American people. The letter states that the Iranian people have no hostility towards other countries, but it is the United States that has amassed a significant number of military bases and forces around Iran, creating a military threat to the country. Iran has taken, and will continue to take, actions based on its legitimate right to self-defense, and these actions are by no means an act of war or aggression. Raisi emphasized that the destructive impact of U.S. sanctions, war, and aggression on the lives of the Iranian people cannot be underestimated, and attacks on Iran's critical infrastructure, including energy and industrial facilities, constitute war crimes. Raisi further questioned whether the current U.S. policy truly aligns with 'America First.' He stated that the U.S. has seemingly become an agent of Israel, carrying out strikes against Iran, with its policy heavily influenced and manipulated by the Israeli regime. Israel, in turn, seeks to divert international attention from its crimes in Palestine by deliberately fabricating the 'Iran threat' narrative. Additionally, Raisi invited the American public to transcend the constraints of political rhetoric and re-examine Iran's past, present, and vision for the future—a future based not on confrontation, but on truth, dignity, and mutual understanding as the foundation for peace.

On April 2, according to the Financial Times, sources revealed that Trump threatened to stop supplying arms to Ukraine unless Europe joined the Hormuz Strait alliance. Last month, Trump requested NATO naval assistance to reopen the strait, but was rejected by European governments. Three officials familiar with the discussions stated that Trump responded by threatening to halt supplies to the 'Prioritized Ukrainian Requirements List' (PURL) project. As a result, under the urging of NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, several key member countries, including France, Germany, and the UK, issued a hastily prepared statement on March 19, stating, 'We express our willingness to make appropriate contributions to ensure safe passage through the Hormuz Strait.' An official familiar with the discussions noted, 'It was Stoltenberg who insisted on issuing this joint statement because Trump had threatened to withdraw from the 'Transatlantic Partnership Alliance' and completely disengage from Ukrainian affairs.'

The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) is drawing market attention after sister company Genesis Global Capital said its lending unit would halt customer withdrawals as a result of fallout from the collapse of Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX crypto empire, Bernstein said in a research report Monday.
The situation at Genesis, however, does not directly affect GBTC, the report said. Even if Genesis is unable to raise liquidity for its lending book and files for bankruptcy, creditors would have no claim on GBTC assets.
The market is concerned that Grayscale could be “considered for strategic options in case of catastrophe,” the note said. But DCG, even in the most adverse scenario, would prefer to hold onto Grayscale over Genesis, it said. Greyscale is DCG’s “flagship business and its cash cow,” generating around $300 million a year in fees, according to Bernstein.
