On April 22, Bloomberg cited a Jefferies report stating that a hacking attack on a small crypto project last weekend, involving nearly $300 million, along with a subsequent $10 billion run on the largest decentralized lending platform (the KelpDAO and Aave incident), could weaken Wall Street's interest in blockchain technology. Andrew Moss, an analyst from Jefferies' digital asset research team, noted that over the past year, banks, asset management firms, and payment institutions have been developing blockchain products similar to the technology systems exploited by North Korean hackers. The report suggests that while such incidents are unlikely to directly impact traditional financial markets, they warn that traditional financial institutions may pause related processes and reassess risks before further advancing blockchain initiatives.

According to monitoring by Dongcha Beating, the Claude Developer Console has launched the Prompt Caching Dashboard, accessible at platform.claude.com/usage/cache. The dashboard allows filtering by workspace, model, and time period, primarily displaying three key metrics: cache read ratio, which indicates the proportion of requests that hit existing cache; cache usage composition, which breaks down input tokens into four categories—uncached, 5-minute cache writes, 1-hour cache writes, and cache reads—presented as a stacked bar chart; and write amortization, which measures how many times a single cache write is reused by subsequent reads. In a screenshot example, Claude Opus 4.6 processed 2.74 billion input tokens over 7 days, achieving a read ratio of 85.4% and a write amortization of 8.65 times. Additionally, there is a time series graph of cache read ratios with granularity from 1 hour to 24 hours. Anthropic's prompt caching mechanism allows API users to mark system prompts, long contexts, and other fixed content as cacheable, charging an extra fee for the first write, while subsequent hits are billed at approximately one-tenth of the standard input price. The cache is retained by default for 5 minutes, with an option to extend it to 1 hour for a fee. Previously, users could only indirectly assess caching effectiveness through token count fields returned by the API, lacking a visual tool.

On April 22, shipping executives from commodity trading firms expressed concerns that Iran's toll collection in the Strait of Hormuz sets a dangerous precedent for the free flow of global trade. Since the outbreak of the Middle Eastern conflict at the end of February, Iran has attempted to impose transit fees on vessels passing through the strait, prompting strong protests from international shipping regulators. 'A highly dangerous precedent is being established here that undermines the passage rights of innocent vessels,' said Larry Johnson, global freight director at Mercuria Energy Trading. 'If some key passages or waterways begin to charge tolls, or are disrupted or threatened, creating a precedent for such fees, what will happen next? For instance, in places like the Black Sea, the Danish Strait, or the Strait of Malacca, who can predict? The free flow of global trade is no longer a reality.' (Jinshi)

On April 22, Slow Fog reported that a highly destructive malware named 'MacSync Stealer' (v1.1.2) is currently active. This malware targets macOS users and steals sensitive data, including cryptocurrency wallets, browser credentials, system keychains, and infrastructure keys (SSH/AWS/K8s). The malware employs a spoofed AppleScript system dialog for phishing and displays a fake error message stating 'unsupported' after data leakage. It has immediately synchronized this IOC (Indicator of Compromise) with clients. Slow Fog advises users not to execute unverified macOS scripts and to remain highly vigilant against unexpected system password prompts. If an attack is suspected, immediate remediation is necessary: change all infrastructure credentials (SSH/AWS/K8s), invalidate any exposed keychains, and quickly migrate cryptocurrency assets to secure wallets.

According to monitoring by Dongcha Beating, Tim Frank, Vice President of AI Monetization at Microsoft, announced a set of updates to the commercial infrastructure aimed at the 'agentic web', designed to ensure that publishers, merchants, and advertisers continue to be discovered, cited, and transacted in scenarios where AI agents make decisions on behalf of users. The core consists of three parts. First is the Publisher Content Marketplace (PCM), which was first reported by Axios last year and is now being scaled up. PCM helps publishers receive compensation when their paid content is cited on AI platforms, covering non-free information such as map data, product catalogs, news, and health information. Copilot is the first demand-side participant, and Microsoft is negotiating access with other AI platforms. Unlike the one-time packaged payment RAG licensing agreements currently between publishers and AI platforms, PCM follows a continuous trading market approach. The second part is commercial agreement support. Microsoft has officially launched the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) data source in Merchant Center, an open standard developed by Google in collaboration with companies like Shopify, allowing AI agents to directly read structured product information. It also integrates Shopify's Global Catalog into Copilot, enabling over 500,000 merchants' products to be searched and transacted within Copilot. Microsoft claims that top Shopify merchants have seen a nearly 90% increase in exposure within Copilot after integration. Copilot Checkout has been extended to mobile and integrated into the membership systems of retailers like Target. The third part involves advertising and insights tools. The AI Visibility feature of Microsoft Clarity has been expanded, helping brands see how often their web pages are cited in AI responses, compare citations with competitors, and receive content gap suggestions. New offerings include AI Max search ads (in public beta since May), Offer Highlights (showcasing product selling points in Copilot conversations), and Audience generation (describing target audiences in natural language for AI to automatically generate audience targeting). Microsoft stated that it will not take transaction commissions, only charging a low technical service fee. Frank emphasized that the company has primarily focused on enterprise services for 51 years and does not have conflicts of interest as a platform competing with its customers.

On April 22, QCP released a market outlook stating that BTC rebounded from an overnight low of around $75,000 to near $78,000. However, this trend reflects more of a relief in positions rather than a re-establishment of confidence. The market has reduced the risk of recent escalations following the extension of the ceasefire agreement in Iran, while Waller's testimony reinforced the Federal Reserve's reliance on data-driven decisions, without signaling a dovish shift. Risk sentiment has stabilized, but macro-level pressures remain firmly in place. For cryptocurrencies, BTC's rebound is driven more by a reduction in tail risks rather than fundamental improvements. Open interest has been rebuilt, and funding rates remain negative, indicating new short positions entering rather than long positions capitulating. This keeps the squeeze dynamics in play, but market conviction remains shallow. The options market has also signaled similarly. Front-end volatility is around 40 vol, which is still relatively low compared to realized volatility; skew remains tilted towards downside protection; and the term structure shows only a mild upward slope. Positioning continues to indicate a range-bound state rather than a sustained breakout. QCP believes that future paths remain anchored to oil prices and policy directions. A decline in oil prices or clearer signals from the Federal Reserve would support risk assets. In the absence of these factors, the market is likely to remain in a wait-and-see mode, pricing in uncertainty rather than seeking definitive solutions.

21 апреля кандидат на пост председателя ФРС Уоллер заявил, что если его назначат на пост главы Федеральной резервной системы, он будет выступать за комплексные реформы в процессе принятия решений. Уоллер сказал в сенатском комитете: "На мой взгляд, Федеральной резервной системе необходима фундаментальная реформа политики. Ошибки, допущенные при решении проблем с инфляцией во время пандемии COVID-19, требуют таких реформ, которые, как я считаю, означают изменение подхода к реализации политики. Я думаю, что это означает, что нам нужна другая, совершенно новая структура инфляции." Уоллер подчеркнул необходимость новых инструментов и методов коммуникации, упомянув о предварительных указаниях, экономических прогнозах и точечном графике. Он предложил, чтобы ФРС ждала до заседаний, чтобы делать заявления, так как прогнозы могут препятствовать принятию решений.
