On April 17, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson stated that Bitcoin's quantum defense proposal BIP-361 has been mischaracterized as a soft fork, and is actually closer to a hard fork. He noted that it cannot protect approximately 1.7 million early BTC generated before 2013, including about 1 million bitcoins attributed to Satoshi Nakamoto. He explained that the zero-knowledge proof recovery scheme proposed relies on BIP-39 mnemonic phrases, while early wallets used different key generation methods that cannot provide the required proof, potentially leading to the permanent freezing of the associated assets under the current scheme. Reports also indicated that BIP-361 co-author Jameson Lopp described it as a rough concept for an emergency plan, rather than a final specification.

Texas man Robert Dunlap has been sentenced to 23 years in federal prison for his involvement in a cryptocurrency scam exceeding $20 million, and he has been ordered to pay restitution to nearly 1,000 victims. Prosecutors stated that Dunlap operated a crypto project and sold Meta-1Coin, falsely claiming that the token was backed by $44 billion in gold and approximately $1 billion in artwork, including pieces by Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh, and Salvador Dalí, with the assets purportedly audited. A jury had found him guilty of mail fraud last year.

On April 17, Tempo, a Layer 1 blockchain developed jointly by Stripe and Paradigm, launched a privacy feature called Zones. This solution is designed for permissioned parallel blockchain operations, specifically tailored for enterprise-level use cases that require higher confidentiality, such as payroll, fund management, and payment settlement. 

Zones operate as a parallel blockchain connected to the Tempo mainnet, providing a private execution environment where internal transactions remain confidential. However, assets and funds are fully interoperable with Tempo L1, other Zones, deposit channels, and liquidity pools. Each Zone is managed by trusted entities such as financial institutions or infrastructure providers, allowing operators to monitor all activities within their environment and implement access controls, while not controlling the underlying assets.

According to monitoring by Dongcha Beating, OpenAI has announced the first cohort of partner organizations for its 'Trusted Access for Cyber' program. Among the 14 institutions, nearly half are from Wall Street: Bank of America, BlackRock, BNY Mellon, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, and Morgan Stanley, along with cybersecurity companies CrowdStrike, Zscaler, SpecterOps, iVerify, as well as Cisco, NVIDIA, and Oracle. These institutions will gain access to GPT-5.4-Cyber for securing their respective digital infrastructures. The concentration of financial institutions is not surprising, as banks are among the most targeted industries for cyberattacks globally, with large security teams, substantial budgets, and a rapid adoption of new tools, making them highly motivated to engage early in AI security tools for influence. Leigh-Ann Russell, Chief Information Officer of BNY Mellon, stated in a release that the bank is closely collaborating with 'the forefront forces driving these efforts.' Additionally, OpenAI announced a $10 million API grant through its 'Cybersecurity Grant Program' aimed at open-source security and vulnerability research teams. The first recipients of the funding include software supply chain security company Socket and Semgrep, as well as vulnerability research organizations Calif and Trail of Bits. OpenAI mentioned in a blog post that not every organization has a 24/7 security team capable of responding promptly when vulnerabilities are disclosed on 'Friday evenings,' which is precisely the issue the grant program aims to address. OpenAI also provided access to GPT-5.4-Cyber to the U.S. Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI) and the UK AI Security Institute (UK AISI) for both organizations to assess the model's cybersecurity capabilities and protective measures.

On April 17, U.S. President Trump stated that he expects an agreement with Iran to be announced soon, claiming that the deal will bring 'free oil' and 'free access to the Strait of Hormuz' for the United States. When asked about the economy and oil prices, he noted that current oil prices are lower than previously anticipated. He said, 'If you look at the oil prices and what we are paying, it's about half of what people originally expected, provided you do what I have to do.' He added, 'I think the negotiations are going very well, and if an agreement is reached, it will be announced soon, which will give us free oil and free access to the Strait of Hormuz. Everything will be fine, and I believe oil prices will be lower than before.'

On April 17, former U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson stated that U.S. authorities should prepare a backup plan in case concerns over the long-term burden of federal debt lead to a potential collapse in demand for U.S. Treasury bonds in the future—warning that such a scenario would have 'serious and severe' consequences. In an interview with Bloomberg Television's 'Wall Street Week,' hosted by David Westin, Paulson said, 'We need a 'break glass' emergency plan that should be targeted, short-term, and prepared in advance so that we can activate it immediately when we hit the wall.' The interview also covered topics such as the impact of the Iran conflict and the outlook for U.S.-China relations.

On April 17, news emerged that Charles Schwab is focusing on prediction markets, but its President and CEO Rick Wurster believes there is a significant difference between betting on Taylor Swift's love life and betting on the latest inflation data. "At some point, we are likely to launch prediction markets," Wurster stated during the company's first-quarter earnings call on Thursday, distinguishing bets on financial events from topics like sports, politics, and pop culture. However, Wurster noted that Charles Schwab is not among the companies rushing to bring related products to market. "This is not at the top of our clients' demand list, and if you look at the success rate data for traders, it is not high; people generally lose money. This is definitely something we will study seriously, and it will be quite straightforward for us to offer. When we do this, we will do it in a more formal manner."
