On April 1, OpenAI completed a $122 billion funding round, achieving a valuation of $852 billion. This marks the company's largest funding round to date, supporting its significant investments in chips, data centers, and talent. Most of the funds in this months-long preparation came from three major tech companies. Reports indicate that Amazon agreed to invest $50 billion in this round, while NVIDIA and SoftBank each invested $30 billion. A substantial portion of Amazon's investment ($35 billion) is contingent on OpenAI's ability to go public or reach a technological milestone in general artificial intelligence. For the first time, OpenAI raised over $3 billion from individual investors through banking channels. The company stated that it currently generates $2 billion in revenue per month, with enterprise sales accounting for 40% of its revenue, which is expected to increase to 50% by the end of the year.

On April 1, Iranian President Pezeshkian stated: We are ready to end the war, but we seek assurances. Pezeshkian described the military actions of the United States and Israel as unprecedented crimes and violations of international law, noting that Iran had engaged in good-faith negotiations before being attacked. Countries hosting U.S. military bases failed to prevent these bases from being used for attacks against Iran. He emphasized that stopping aggression is the way forward, and Iran is willing to end the conflict if security guarantees can be provided. He also urged Europe to abandon its current approach and called for professional cooperation consistent with international law.

On April 1, Federal Reserve Governor Michael Barr stated that the development of stablecoins must be built on strict regulation and warned that without effective constraints, the long history of problems caused by 'private currencies' could be repeated. In his remarks, Barr pointed out that although the 'GENIUS Stablecoin Act' has provided an initial regulatory framework for the industry, the key lies in subsequent enforcement, including ongoing monitoring of reserve assets and mechanisms to prevent illegal uses. He emphasized that stablecoins can only be truly considered 'stable' if they can maintain par value redemption under various market conditions. The liquidity and safety of reserve assets are particularly critical during market pressures or when the risks of the issuer themselves increase. Additionally, Barr noted that stablecoin issuers have the incentive to increase yields for profit, which may lead them to take on higher risks in reserve asset management, thereby posing a potential threat to financial stability.
