On April 5, on-chain investigator Tay (@tayvano_) revealed that a significant number of North Korean IT workers have been deeply involved in building various blockchain protocols that we know and love since the 2020 DeFi Summer. Therefore, their resumes claiming '7 years of blockchain development experience' are not false; they indeed have practical backgrounds. The involved crypto protocols include SushiSwap, THORChain, Harmony, Ankr, Shib, and Yearn, among others.

On-chain analyst Murphy stated that the current average cost of all losing Bitcoin positions has fallen below $100,000, now at only $93,600. This means that under the current position structure, Bitcoin will reach the market's average breakeven point when it rises back to $93,000. During the two rapid declines at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, a large number of high-position trapped holders chose to cut losses and exit, lowering the average cost of all unrealized losing positions.

On April 5, Garrett Jin, the agent of 'BTC OG Insider Whale', published a lengthy article titled 'Oil is War', stating that oil is not a byproduct of the U.S.-Iran war, but rather the core driving force of the conflict itself. All other economic and financial variables (stock markets, bonds, cryptocurrencies, Federal Reserve policies, food prices, etc.) are downstream results of oil prices. Those who can accurately predict oil trends will understand the direction of the entire market. Jin believes that the U.S.-Iran war has exceeded expectations of 'surgical airstrikes' and has evolved into a long-term attrition war. The continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz will lead to a structural increase in oil prices, rather than a temporary spike. The war has escalated into a prolonged conflict, with the Strait of Hormuz closed for over five weeks, U.S. ground troops gathering, and no clear path to victory or signs of rapid de-escalation. Iran's strategy is not to win, but to make the war costly enough to force Washington to seek an exit. The most likely scenario is entering a long-term attrition war, which aligns with U.S. interests—forcing global buyers to turn to North American energy while high oil prices stimulate domestic production in the U.S. The market has priced in the war, but has not yet priced in its duration. Each oil price pullback presents a buying opportunity. As U.S. ground troops are deployed with no quick victory in sight, oil prices will impact interest rates, exchange rates, stock markets, and credit markets. According to PolyBeats monitoring, the probability of a U.S.-Iran ceasefire before the end of this month is 18%, before the end of May is 34%, and before the end of June is 46%.

On April 5, the Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government published an essay reflecting on the economy in the first quarter of 2026. It mentioned that the Hong Kong market is active, with an average daily trading volume exceeding HKD 260 billion in the first two months of this year, a 17% year-on-year increase. The market became even more vibrant in March, with the average daily trading volume of Hong Kong stocks surpassing HKD 300 billion, an increase of over 8% compared to the same period last year. Investors are increasing their asset allocation in Hong Kong, viewing it as a reliable safe haven for funds, alongside the stable growth of the mainland economy and the influx of high-quality companies listing in Hong Kong, providing ample investment opportunities. Meanwhile, global competition in cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence has intensified, requiring substantial financial support for core technology breakthroughs, the development of the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, and the exploration of broader application scenarios. Hong Kong's listing platform is playing a key role in this regard, with the IPO market continuing its strong performance from last year. As of March 27, the fundraising amount has exceeded HKD 103 billion, ranking first globally; including subsequent financing, the total fundraising scale is approximately HKD 237 billion. An increasing number of companies listing in Hong Kong belong to emerging industries such as artificial intelligence, semiconductors, robotics, autonomous driving, and biotechnology. Currently, there are over 500 applications waiting to list in Hong Kong. More companies view Hong Kong as an important window for financing and 'going global'.
