On April 6, Goldman Sachs' latest report indicated that the Strait of Hormuz, a global energy transportation artery, is under pressure due to conflicts in the Middle East, leading to extreme stress on the oil supply chain and an increasing risk of localized 'oil shortages.' The analysis highlights that the impact is particularly pronounced in Asia, where several economies are heavily reliant on energy imports from the Persian Gulf, with some countries sourcing about 50% of their fuel from the region, and nations like South Korea and Singapore being even more dependent on the Middle East. Although there has not yet been a global supply disruption, the buffers maintained through inventory consumption, trade redirection, and export restrictions are weakening. Data shows that by late March, net oil imports in Asia had significantly declined, reflecting rapidly rising supply pressures. By category, naphtha and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) are experiencing severe shortages due to tight inventories, while diesel and jet fuel prices continue to rise, compounded by market hoarding behavior that further increases volatility. Some countries have already shown signs of fuel rationing or supply interruptions, with India and Thailand beginning to implement intervention measures. Goldman Sachs emphasizes that while a structural global supply crisis has not yet emerged, if disturbances in the Strait of Hormuz persist, localized energy shortages and surging oil prices will further intensify, particularly impacting regions with high import dependence.

On April 6, two tankers carrying liquefied natural gas from Qatar appear to have abandoned their attempts to pass through the Strait of Hormuz and exit the Persian Gulf. According to vessel tracking data, the 'Al Daayen' and 'Rasheeda' had sailed east towards waters near Oman after loading LNG at a Qatari export facility at the end of February, but subsequently turned back. Since the end of February, no LNG-laden tankers have passed through the Strait of Hormuz following the U.S. and Israeli strikes against Iran. According to Kpler's vessel data, Qatar has delivered two shipments of LNG to Kuwait in recent weeks. These supplies likely came from Qatar's storage tanks, thus avoiding the need to transit through the Strait of Hormuz. There is uncertainty in vessel tracking around the Persian Gulf due to the potential for electronic interference or active transponder shutdowns for ships navigating in high-risk areas.

On April 6, BitMine disclosed that as of April 5, 2026, its total staked Ethereum has reached 3,334,637 ETH, valued at approximately $7.1 billion based on a price of about $2,123, representing a significant portion of its total holding of around 4.5 million ETH. Data shows that BitMine's ETH staking scale has rapidly increased since the beginning of the year: from approximately 659,000 ETH in early January, it has continuously risen to the current 3.33 million ETH, after maintaining around 3.04 million ETH from February to March before accelerating again. In terms of returns, the current Composite Ethereum Staking Rate (CESR) is approximately 2.74%, while BitMine's staking yield over the past seven days is about 2.78%, slightly above the market average. Analysts believe that BitMine's continuous expansion of its ETH staking scale reflects its strategy centered on income-generating asset allocation, further strengthening the balance between on-chain yields and long-term holdings.
