On April 19, The Wall Street Journal reported that President Trump seems to have lost his 'spirit of adventure,' while his sense of fear grows daily. Previously, in the nearly empty West Wing of the White House, Trump learned that an American fighter jet had been shot down in Iran, and shortly after two pilots went missing, he raged at his aides for hours. He repeatedly said, 'The Europeans haven't helped at all.' According to those who have spoken with him, images from the 1979 Iran hostage crisis have been haunting him. After the American pilots were rescued, the once-arrogant president made a desperate attempt to weaken Iran's strongest leverage—its control over the Strait of Hormuz. At that time, Trump tweeted, 'Open the strait, you madmen.' This president, who has always been keen on creating dramatic scenes, applied his unorthodox and extreme style in an even more extreme manner to a potential war. He sometimes adopts a belligerent stance, while at other times he employs a conciliatory strategy, all the while pondering how far the situation might escalate. He fears ordering troops into dangerous areas, leading to injuries and some not returning home, similar to the experiences of other presidents who have faced war.

On April 19, Iran designated Bitcoin for payment of oil transit fees through the Strait of Hormuz, but insiders indicate that most transactions are still settled using stablecoins. Previously, on April 8, the Financial Times reported that during a two-week ceasefire, Iran would require shipping companies to pay transit fees for oil tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz in cryptocurrency (Bitcoin) to maintain control over the waterway. Hamid Hosseini, spokesperson for the Iranian Oil, Gas, and Petrochemical Products Exporters Union, stated that each tanker must report its cargo information to Iranian authorities via email, after which Iran will inform them of the required transit fee amount, which must be paid in cryptocurrency. 'Once the email is received and Iran completes the assessment, the vessel will have a few seconds to pay with Bitcoin, ensuring that it cannot be tracked or seized due to sanctions.'

On April 19, data from the Aave platform showed that the USDT borrowing APY surged to 14.99%, while the deposit APY skyrocketed to 13.39%. The KelpDAO hacker borrowed a significant amount of ETH from Aave by collateralizing illegally minted rsETH, prompting a precautionary withdrawal of over $5.4 billion in assets from Aave. The massive outflow of funds may have caused the dramatic increase in the USDT borrowing APY on the Aave platform.
