U.S. gas prices are steadily rising, putting intense pressure on its citizens’ spending outlook. The ongoing US-Iran war has largely disrupted the flow of oil and gas across the globe, with the US bearing the brunt of its impact. The gas prices in the US have now started to rise staggeringly, with Americans spending an average of 16% YoY in March for gas.Also Read: Bitcoin Quantum Plan Won’t Save All Coins: Cardano FounderUS Gas Price ShockSource: oilprice.comThe US gas domain is currently suffering the most, with average gas spending stats of March telling a staggering story. Per the latest post by the Kobeissi letter, US consumer gas spending has risen 16% YoY in March, with prices of gasoline alone hitting $4.12, signaling a massive hike. To put it simply, Americans have spent nearly 25% more on fuel in March than in February, showcasing the intense consequences that the ongoing war situation has led them to encounter as of late.“US consumers are seeing huge increases in gas costs. US consumer gas spending surged +16% YoY in March. As the national average for gasoline soared to a record $4.12 a gallon, driven by the Iran War. Overall, Americans spent +25% more on fuel in March than in February.”The KL post was quick to outline the aftereffects of this surge as well. Higher fuel costs after a time may start to impact other domains as well, particularly entertainment, travel, and retail, impacting their statistical numbers in the long run.“However, other spending categories have not been significantly impacted yet. Entertainment spending jumped +12% YoY last quarter, followed by travel at +6%, and retail at +5%. Total credit and debit spending rose +6% YoY in Q1, with transactions up +4% YoY. If elevated fuel costs persist, they will begin to crowd out spending in discretionary categories. Higher fuel prices are poised to pressure household budgets.”US co

Circle hit with class action lawsuit over alleged inaction in $280 million Drift exploit Circle is facing a class action lawsuit from Drift Protocol investors who lost money in the $280 million exploit that occurred on April 1.

The lawsuit alleged that Circle failed to act swiftly to freeze the stolen USDC tied to the attack.

Circle is facing a class action lawsuit from a group of Drift Protocol investors who lost money in the $280 million exploit on April 1, one of the largest hacks in DeFi history.

The lawsuit, filed Tuesday by law firm Gibbs Mura, accused Circle Internet Financial of failing to act swiftly to freeze the stolen USDC (USDC) tied to the attack.

"Circle allegedly took no action to freeze the funds, despite having the technical and contractual authority to do so," the lawyers said in a statement on Wednesday.

Plasma blockchain TVL has climbed to $2 billion, making it the seventh-largest blockchain by total value locked after Tether selected Plasma as one of only four networks to support its newly launched self-custody wallet. Summary Plasma’s TVL reached $2 billion as of April 16, up 27% over the past week and more than 80% over the past 30 days, per DefiLlama data, placing it seventh globally by TVL. Tether launched tether.wallet on April 14, selecting Plasma alongside Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum as supported networks at launch, giving the chain a direct distribution channel to Tether’s 570 million global users. Analysts also point to growing optimism around the CLARITY Act approaching a Senate Banking Committee markup as a secondary driver of capital flowing into stablecoin infrastructure. Plasma blockchain TVL has surged to $2 billion, a 27% weekly gain and more than 80% over the past 30 days, pushing the stablecoin-focused Layer-1 to seventh place globally in total value locked according to DefiLlama. The move coincides directly with the launch of tether.wallet on April 14, a self-custody product from Tether that supports USDT and XAUT on Plasma alongside Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum. Being selected as one of just four supported chains at launch positions Plasma as core Tether infrastructure rather than a peripheral experiment. Why the Tether Wallet Integration Matters Tether has more than 570 million users globally as of March 2026, with tens of millions of new wallets added every quarter. The self-custody wallet was designed to allow direct USDT transfers without requiring users to hold separate gas tokens, with fees paid in the asset being transferred. Users send funds using human-readable identifiers rather than raw wallet addresses. Plasma’s architecture was built specifically for this use case. As a stablecoin chain that launched in September 2

A security lapse often cuts both ways. It sparks immediate fear, but the aftermath reveals deeper dynamics.

The recent Drift Protocol hack appears to be unfolding in a similar way. Initial market sentiment was dominated by panic after the exploit led to nearly $285 million in losses.

Now, recovery efforts are underway, but attention is shifting from the hack itself to the key players involved in the response.

As AMBCrypto earlier noted, Tether has stepped in with a $150 million recovery proposal for Drift Protocol, while Circle has declined to freeze the exploited USDC tied to the incident.

Notably, the contrasting reactions have fueled market speculation, putting Solana [SOL] right at the center of the narrative.

Backing out The downfall of the NFT industry  Advertisement The digital art community was jolted early this morning after the prominent Ethereum-based NFT platform Foundation halted its operation. This was due to the reversal of its recent acquisition by digital art gallery company Blackdove. Backing out Blackdove executive Marc Billings announced the difficult decision to "pause our ongoing support of the Foundation platform" and return management to Foundation's original founder, Kayvon Tehranian, for an orderly transition.

This would make it possible for clients to browse, purchase, and display digital art.  Advertisement However, full due diligence was only completed after the operational handover since the nature of the deal was rather fast-paced.
