Warren Buffett, the ever-famous Oracle of Omaha, is grabbing central attention, primarily as Buffett is now sitting on a $370B-worth pile of cash. Berkshire Hathaway's latest report reveals the company holding $370B in cash equivalents, held in US treasuries. This present scenario has been referred to as a "dry powder" as the company continues to adopt a cautious stance against the tidal market disruptions.

JPMorgan CFO Raises Concerns Over Stablecoin Regulation
JPMorgan Chase CFO Jeremy Barnum has warned that stablecoins could become a “regulatory arbitrage” tool if upcoming rules don’t properly align them with traditional banking standards.
Speaking during the bank’s Q1 earnings call, Barnum emphasized that the issue isn’t really about new technology—it’s about regulation. He explained that some stablecoin models are starting to function like bank products, but without being subject to the same strict rules that protect customers, such as deposit safeguards and limits on interest payments.
“If identical products aren’t regulated the same way, it creates opportunities for arbitrage,” Barnum noted. He pointed out that certain stablecoins offering rewards or yield-like returns could effectively allow companies to operate like banks—just without the regulatory oversight.
This debate comes as policymakers work on new crypto legislation, including the proposed Clarity Act, which aims to define how digital assets are regulated between agencies like the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
A key point of contention is whether stablecoin issuers should be allowed to pass on interest earned from their reserves to users. Companies like Coinbase argue that offering yield would make stablecoins more attractive as a savings tool.
However, traditional banks strongly disagree. They argue that once stablecoins start offering returns, they begin to look very similar to bank deposits—but without the same requirements for capital, liquidity, or consumer protection. This, they say, creates an uneven playing field, where crypto firms can attract users with higher returns while avoiding the regulatory burden banks must carry.
In short, the growing tension highlights a bigger question for regulators: how to support innovation in crypto #Unlock Your Personal HTX Airdrop Now

Iran conflict hints Bitcoin’s addressable market could exceed gold: Bitwise
Bitcoin’s addressable market has the potential to surpass the $34 trillion gold market if it is eventually widely used as both a currency and a store of value, according to Bitwise's chief investment officer Matt Hougan.

Hougan said on Tuesday that while Bitcoin ($BTC) has been seen as a contender to gold, the war in Iran has shown that Bitcoin can also serve in a “currency-like manner,”, referring to Irans propsed plan to charge a toll that can be paid in crypto for ships to navigate the Strait of Hormuz.

“In a world where countries have weaponized their financial rails, Bitcoin is emerging as an apolitical alternative,” Hougan said.

Chainlink Now Streams Live US Stock Prices to DeFi


The Chainlink price narrative shifted this week when the protocol upgraded its Data Streams infrastructure to deliver near-real-time pricing for US stocks and ETFs on a 24/5 basis, giving DeFi protocols access to the same equity data that covers roughly $80 trillion in global market value.

CoinMarketCap’s April 12 coverage of the upgrade notes that most existing on-chain data solutions provide only a single price point for equities during standard trading hours from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM ET, creating a gap where on-chain markets cannot reliably replicate market conditions at all hours. Chainlink’s 24/5 streams eliminate that gap, enabling synthetic equities, automated trading, collateral management, and lending markets to function with live pricing data rather than stale snapshots. The protocol is already embedded in the infrastructure of institutions including Swift, Euroclear, JPMorgan, Mastercard, UBS, and Fidelity International.

$LINK was trading around $9.14 to $9.25 on Tuesday, up from recent lows but still down roughly 34 percent over the past year.

Chainlink Price: What the Equities Data Stream Does for the $LINK Token

The $LINK token’s value accrual thesis depends on growing demand for Chainlink’s oracle services. Every DeFi protocol that integrates the new equity data streams creates a new source of ongoing fee revenue paid in $LINK. The 40-plus blockchains where the streams are live represent a wide distribution of potential demand, and the institutional adoption profile of Chainlink’s existing partners means this is not purely a retail DeFi story. When JPMorgan and Fidelity are building on your infrastructure, the demand base is more durable than typical crypto-native integrations.
