U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren recently expressed concerns about Elon Musk's payment platform X Money, which is set to launch in April. She stated that it could pose risks to consumer protection, national security, and the stability of the financial system. Warren pointed out that after acquiring and reshaping X, Musk is pushing it to become a 'super app' that covers 'all aspects of users' financial lives,' potentially replacing traditional banking systems. She questioned the platform's performance in terms of security and content governance, arguing that this undermines its credibility in entering the consumer finance sector. Additionally, Warren criticized the current regulatory environment for becoming more lenient, including the 'GENIUS Act' promoted by the Trump administration, which provides a 'special pathway' for private companies to issue stablecoins, potentially weakening necessary regulatory constraints.

On April 15, WLFI officially released a governance proposal to the community, with the following key points: A total of 45.2 billion WLFI tokens held by advisors, institutions, partners, founders, and team members will be locked under a '2-year lock-up + 3-year linear release' plan, with a requirement to burn 10% of the tokens upon opting in, potentially leading to a permanent burn of approximately 4.5 billion tokens. The 17 billion tokens locked for early supporters will follow a '2-year lock-up + 2-year linear release' plan without the need for burning, while tokens that do not actively accept the new proposal will be locked indefinitely. If the proposal is approved, a total of 62.2 billion WLFI tokens will participate in governance for at least 2 years, which WLFI describes as one of the strongest long-term governance alignment signals in the DeFi space.

On April 15, U.S. President Trump stated in an interview with Fox Business that if Federal Reserve Chairman Powell does not resign in a timely manner, he will be fired. He added that he would not abandon the Justice Department's investigation into Powell. Trump said, "If he doesn't leave on time, I will have to fire him. I've been holding back from firing him. I want to fire him, but I hate causing controversy. I hope there is no controversy. But he will be fired." Powell's term as Fed Chairman will expire in May, but his term as a governor lasts until 2028. Powell has indicated that if a successor is not confirmed before May, he will serve as the interim chairman. Trump's allies had hoped that Powell would also resign from his governor position at that time, but Powell stated he has no intention of resigning until the Justice Department's investigation into a renovation project is "truly concluded." Trump hinted that there are no plans to end the investigation, stating, "We must get to the bottom of this."

According to monitoring by Dongcha Beating, Onur Solmaz, an official maintainer of OpenClaw, made a strong response on social media regarding the recent negative comments surrounding the open-source AI agent project. He stated that the frequent attacks on OpenClaw stem from its public service attribute of 'not helping anyone manipulate the market'—unlike other profit-driven AI agent products in the market, OpenClaw maintains a neutral third-party stance in both the industry and geopolitical contexts. 'Other companies can only profit if we fail, which is why they are desperately trying to defame us,' Solmaz said. He noted that project founder Peter Steinberger is a successful entrepreneur who does not seek returns for investors but initiated the project purely out of a desire for 'fun + democratizing AI,' which is also why the community loves OpenClaw. In response to specific accusations, Solmaz refuted them one by one: regarding claims of bloat, he mentioned that the team has been implementing a core slimming plan since early March, breaking down functional modules into a plugin SDK architecture, asserting that having many plugins does not equate to bloat, and that this approach has already been copied by peers; concerning safety doubts, Solmaz countered that OpenClaw, being the most scrutinized, quickly addresses any security issues once discovered, and under the pressure of criticism, has become the safest AI agent; as for rumors of being acquired by OpenAI, Solmaz humorously remarked, 'My bank account is still empty, brother,' emphasizing that all maintainers contribute voluntarily, working full-time during the day and doubling their efforts at night to maintain the project. Ultimately, Solmaz defined OpenClaw as 'the people's AI,' calling on the community to directly use the code, actively contribute, and become maintainers to collectively write the history of open-source AI.
