On April 27, based on vessel tracking data, the U.S. reported that only 2 vessels passed through the Strait of Hormuz on the 26th. As of the afternoon of the 26th local time, only 1 cargo ship had left the Persian Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz, while 1 oil tanker entered the Persian Gulf from the Strait of Hormuz via the Gulf of Oman. It is noted that due to signal interference and some vessels turning off their Automatic Identification Systems, the data may not accurately reflect the actual situation. (Jinshi)

On April 27, there has been almost no public progress on the crypto market structure bill over the past month. While it is difficult to predict the outcome of the bill, the window for its passage is narrowing. Many actions surrounding the market structure issue—such as statements from SEC staff—are not permanent guidance. The SEC has time to issue rules that require public notice and comment periods, but this will take time. The market structure legislation aims to codify the goals of the crypto industry and regulatory rules into law, making it more difficult for future governments to overturn these rules. In other words, without the Clarity Act, we could very well still be having the same discussions years from now. Since at least last December, May 25, Memorial Day, has been viewed as the 'deadline' for legislative progress, as lawmakers will leave Washington for campaign activities after the summer, leaving little time for the crypto bill (or most other legislation). Before Congress adjourns, the House also needs to consider a bill providing funding for the Department of Homeland Security, while the Senate must decide whether Kevin Warsh will become the next Federal Reserve Chair. The crypto industry is eager for the bill to pass. Over 100 organizations signed an open letter last week urging the Senate Banking Committee to hold a hearing on the bill, which would be the first step in the overall passage process. However, it is still unclear how far the committee is from advancing. The issue of stablecoin yields continues to dominate discussions, and other unresolved issues remain unaddressed at least in the public domain. Even if these issues are resolved, the House will still need to vote on the bill again. Earlier this month, House Financial Services Committee Chairman French Hill stated that many unresolved issues surrounding stablecoins and DeFi sales practices have been addressed in the House version of the bill, and the Senate should be able to find consensus.

On April 27, during an interview on CBS's "60 Minutes" that aired on the afternoon of April 26, U.S. President Trump detailed the situation during the shooting incident at the White House Correspondents' Dinner the previous day. Trump stated that when the gunshots first rang out, he did not immediately realize the severity of the threat and was 'not worried,' intending to observe the situation first. He mentioned that at one point he did not cooperate with the Secret Service to evacuate quickly, saying he wanted to see what was happening, and he acknowledged that this behavior may have slowed the response of the Secret Service personnel to some extent. As the situation became clearer, the Secret Service requested that he take immediate protective measures. Trump stated that under the direction of the Secret Service, he and First Lady Melania Trump crouched down for safety, and were subsequently escorted away from the dinner area to a secure location.

On April 27, a paper by researchers from the London Business School and Yale University analyzed all transactions on Polymarket from 2023 to 2025, finding that about 3% of accounts generated most of the price discovery on the platform. The study covered 1.72 million accounts, 210,322 markets, and approximately $13.76 billion in trading volume. The paper states that only 3.14% of accounts can be classified as 'skilled winners,' meaning their order flow consistently predicts short-term price fluctuations and final outcomes. This group of accounts, along with market makers, accounts for less than 3.5% of all accounts but has captured over 30% of all profits. Accounts classified as unlucky or technically poor losers make up 67% of the total, bearing all of the platform's total losses. Regarding suspected insider trading, the authors identified 1,950 accounts that were opened shortly before a single event and went dormant after the event settled. These accounts pushed prices by about 7 to 12 times more per dollar than skilled traders, but due to their excessive focus on isolated events, they failed to drive overall accuracy. The paper includes a case study focusing on three accounts opened between December 27 and January 3, which bet on Maduro's ousting before the disclosure of U.S. military actions, collectively profiting over $630,000. This scenario aligns with the first insider trading lawsuit involving event contracts filed by the U.S. CFTC on Thursday, which accuses U.S. Army Sergeant Gannon Ken Van Dyke of trading based on confidential information prior to a raid.

On April 27, President Trump stated in an interview with CBS that he was unsure if he was a target of the attacker at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. He said, 'I don't know. It sounds like he is an extreme person. Based on what he has written, he has gone through a lot. His brother complained about him, and his sister also had issues with him. His family is very concerned about him. He is likely a person in very poor mental health.' (Jinshi)

On April 27, CITIC Securities reported that DeepSeek-V4 was released concurrently with GPT-5.5. The former, utilizing CSA/HCA attention compression and mHC network reconstruction, not only closely competes with proprietary flagship models but also reduces the cost of million-context inference to a very low level, successfully operating on domestically produced computing infrastructure. The latter relies on strong software-hardware coupling, focusing on high-complexity knowledge work, and continues the business model of high pricing matched with high intelligence. Meanwhile, the generational leap of the base model resonates with Agent frameworks like OpenClaw and Hermes, accelerating the commercialization of the Agent ecosystem through the expansion of intelligent limits and optimization of inference costs.
