On April 10, CBS reported that US officials revealed that representatives from Lebanon and Israel will hold diplomatic talks at the US State Department next week to formulate a ceasefire agreement. Insiders and Lebanese officials stated that the meeting aims to discuss how to initiate direct negotiations. Currently, Lebanon has become one of the most complex issues in the preliminary diplomatic activities between the US and Iran. Additionally, several diplomatic sources disclosed that Trump had previously been informed that the ceasefire agreement would apply to the Middle East, including Lebanon. Mediators also believe that the ceasefire agreement indeed covers Lebanon. Meanwhile, on the day of the ceasefire, a White House official stated that Israel also agreed to the terms of the agreement facilitated by Pakistan. However, after a phone call between Netanyahu and Trump, the US position changed. Two insiders noted that the shift in the US stance and the chaotic regime situation in Iran have made this diplomatic matter exceedingly complex. US Vice President Pence stated to reporters on Wednesday that there are 'reasonable misunderstandings' regarding the terms of the ceasefire agreement, but he attributed this to the Iranian side.

On April 10, the stock price of stablecoin issuer Circle Internet Group fell sharply on Thursday, driven by a downgrade from Wall Street analysts and news of a legal investigation related to recent crypto vulnerabilities. Circle's stock closed near its intraday low on Nasdaq, dropping 9.9% to $85.10. This decline continues a broader trend of weakening stock performance, with a cumulative drop of nearly 24% over the past month and about 43% over the past six months, reflecting ongoing volatility since its high-profile listing last year. However, the recent pullback may also partially reflect profit-taking, as Circle's stock had surged significantly between February and March, primarily driven by increased adoption of stablecoins. Despite this, some analysts continue to advise caution. On Thursday, CompassPoint downgraded Circle's rating from 'Neutral' to 'Sell,' setting a target price of $77, indicating about a 9% downside from current levels. Circle is also under pressure from regulatory uncertainties in the U.S., with progress on market structure legislation stalled and banking groups continuing to oppose interest-bearing stablecoins. However, Bernstein analysts believe these concerns are overstated, noting that Circle's core business remains unaffected and emphasizing the continued growth in USDC adoption and strong reserve income performance.

On April 10, U.S. President Trump warned Iran not to charge fees for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, stating that such actions would "violate agreements" and demanded that Iran "immediately cease". Despite a two-week ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Iran, passage through the strait remains significantly restricted. The volume of ship traffic is far below normal levels, with many vessels still stranded in the Persian Gulf, and the recovery of energy transportation is not progressing as expected. Trump's remarks indicate that the U.S. opposes Iran using its control over the strait to gain economic benefits, and he has previously suggested that the U.S. could collect passage fees. Meanwhile, Iran has signaled that it will push for a "new phase" in managing the strait and is reportedly developing a fee mechanism. In the market context, the Strait of Hormuz is a critical passage for about 20% of global oil and LNG transportation, and the dispute over its control is becoming one of the core variables affecting the stability of the ceasefire. Analysts point out that disagreements over passage rights, fee arrangements, and security mechanisms may become focal points in the upcoming direct negotiations between the U.S. and Iran in Pakistan. If these disputes continue to escalate, the ceasefire agreement faces a risk of further collapse.

Vitalik Buterin says that using ZK-SNARKs improves privacy and robustness by putting all users' deposits into a Merkle tree and using ZK-SNARKs to prove that all balances in the tree are non-negative, adding up to some claimed value. If we add a layer of hashing for privacy, the Merkle branch provided to each user will not reveal the balances of any other users. For going a step further and not wanting to just prove that the exchange has the funds to repay the user, but more so to prevent the exchange from stealing the user's funds altogether, Vitalik Buterin said the ideal long-term solution would be to rely on self-hosting, supplemented by technologies such as multi-signature and social recovery wallets, to help users deal with emergencies.
