On April 18, foreign media reported that California Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Waters is a thorn in the side of cryptocurrency on Capitol Hill. As a senior member of the House Financial Services Committee, she has consistently advocated for stronger regulation of cryptocurrencies to solidify her authority. Waters' opponent, nonprofit executive Myla Rahman, has raised approximately 69% of her campaign funds from the crypto industry, drawing attention to the involvement of crypto capital in politics. Data shows that since entering the race in February, Rahman has raised about $14,500, with the largest single donation coming from Brad Garlinghouse (donating $6,600). Additionally, executives from the Solana Policy Institute have also provided support. As one of the most stringent Democrats on crypto regulation in Congress, Waters has long pushed for increased oversight of the industry; if the Democrats win in the midterm elections, she is expected to become the chair of the Financial Services Committee. Analysts believe this potential change is prompting the crypto industry to strategically position its political resources in an attempt to influence future regulatory frameworks. Currently, the crypto industry is advocating for the Clarity Act to seek a more lenient regulatory environment, but the bill faces strong opposition from the traditional banking system, which fears it could lead to a shift of deposits to the crypto market. Notably, despite her regulatory stance, Waters has also received political donations from Chris Larsen, indicating that crypto capital is strategically engaging across both parties and varying regulatory positions.

On April 18, the spot Bitcoin ETF recorded approximately $996 million in net inflows last week, marking the strongest weekly performance in three months and indicating a notable recovery in market risk appetite. Specifically, the inflow of funds accelerated last week: on Friday alone, inflows reached $664 million, the highest for the week, while Tuesday and Wednesday saw inflows of $412 million and $186 million, respectively. Inflows slowed to $26 million on Thursday, and Monday recorded a net outflow of about $291 million. As of Friday, the total asset size of the spot Bitcoin ETF has surpassed $101 billion, with daily trading volume approaching $4.8 billion. Market analysts believe that the return of funds is primarily due to a reduction in geopolitical risks, particularly the easing of tensions between the U.S. and Iran and the resumption of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, which has weakened the demand for traditional safe-haven assets like the dollar, driving funds toward risk assets such as the cryptocurrency market. Structurally, Bitcoin is currently in a range-bound phase, facing resistance around $75,000 and support around $72,000, with the market in a 'liquidity redistribution' phase and yet to establish a clear trend.
