On April 5, Bitcoin at Block, led by Jack Dorsey, announced that it will launch the Bitcoin 'faucet' page btc.day on April 6. Images suggest that this event may offer the equivalent of $1 million in Bitcoin (approximately 15 BTC). This initiative aims to pay tribute to the early Bitcoin faucet activities from 2010, originally introduced by one of Bitcoin's early core developers, Gavin Andresen, who rewarded users with 5 BTC each time (worth only a few cents at the time).

On April 5, NBC reported that the prediction market platform Polymarket issued an apology for allowing users to bet on the fate of a U.S. pilot from a fighter jet shot down over Iran. A U.S. official previously stated that a two-seat F-15E 'Strike Eagle' was downed on Friday. One crew member has been rescued, but the other remains missing. In a market that was later deleted, users could predict when the pilot would be rescued, with most guessing it would happen on Saturday. The market was titled: 'U.S. confirms pilot will be rescued on...?' U.S. Congressman Seth Moulton, a veteran of the Marine Corps who served in Iraq, harshly criticized the market on social media platform X, pointing out that it was inappropriate to bet on such matters while dangerous rescue operations were underway in Iran. In response to Moulton's post on X, Polymarket expressed its apology and stated that the market had been removed. The company wrote: 'We have immediately removed this market as it does not meet our integrity standards. This content should not have been published, and we are investigating how it bypassed our internal review mechanisms.'

On April 5, according to Xinhua News Agency, Abdollahian, the commander of the Central Headquarters of the Iranian Armed Forces, responded on the 4th to the '48-hour' ultimatum issued by U.S. President Trump, emphasizing that the Iranian military will firmly defend national rights and protect state assets, making aggressors pay the price. The Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting reported that Abdollahian stated that after facing continuous failures, Trump has resorted to 'helpless, panicked, unbalanced, and foolish actions' in an attempt to threaten Iran's infrastructure and national assets. Abdollahian stressed that if the U.S. and Israel launch such attacks, 'we will launch sustained and devastating strikes on all infrastructures used by U.S. forces and Israeli infrastructures without restrictions.' He reminded the U.S. and Israel that since the beginning of this imposed war on Iran, 'everything we have said has been put into action.'

On April 5, Michael Saylor tweeted that Bitcoin has emerged victorious, with a global consensus recognizing it as 'digital capital.' The traditional four-year cycle has ended, and price movements are now driven more by capital flows, with the banking system and digital credit determining Bitcoin's future growth trajectory. He also warned that the biggest risk lies in erroneous ideas leading to 'iatrogenic' modifications of the protocol, meaning that human intervention could potentially harm the Bitcoin protocol itself.

On April 5, the decentralized lending protocol Project 0 announced the resumption of operations. Previously, Project 0 had paused operations and initiated a deleveraging process due to a hacker attack on the Drift protocol. Project 0 stated that the remaining socialized loss amounts to approximately $1.9147 million, which will be distributed across the credit pool, resulting in an average write-down of 2.61% for lenders' assets. 

According to asset risk levels, the write-downs for USDC, SOL, and USDT are 1%, while mainstream assets like BTC and ETH face a 2.61% write-down, and WIF, BONK, and governance tokens face a 6.62% write-down. Project 0 indicated that as Drift assets are gradually unlocked and returned to affected users, the actual loss will be lower than the aforementioned benchmark figures. 

MacBrennan, co-founder of Project 0, previously explained that the protocol utilizes a unified credit pool to achieve cross-protocol margin functionality, which is a core mechanism of P0. However, some community members expressed dissatisfaction, stating that they were affected even though they did not directly participate in Drift lending.

On April 5, economists indicated that the sudden rise in gasoline prices, which consumers are feeling firsthand, will be fully reflected in the key inflation data to be released this week.

According to Coindesk, lawmakers in the U.K. voted on Tuesday to grant authorities wider powers to seize property containing information that can help identify crypto assets related to crime. The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Bill, which is being debated in Parliament, already included rules to give authorities powers to seize and detain crypto tied to criminal activity. New amendments accepted by lawmakers in the House of Commons (the lower chamber of Parliament) seek to give local law enforcement powers to also seize “crypto asset-related items,” which are items of property that contain or give access to information that could help assist in the seizure of targeted crypto assets. The bill still has to pass the House of Commons and go through the upper chamber of Parliament before it is passed into law.
