On April 25, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed a bill that prohibits the operation of cryptocurrency ATMs statewide, making Tennessee the second state after Indiana to implement a comprehensive ban. The bill (HB 2505) has officially taken effect and will be enforced starting July 1. Under the regulations, the installation or operation of 'virtual currency kiosks' (i.e., Bitcoin ATMs) will be classified as a Class A misdemeanor, carrying a maximum penalty of one year in jail and a $2,500 fine. Additionally, merchants that allow these devices will also bear legal responsibility. Currently, most states in the U.S. have strengthened regulations through licensing systems and transaction limits, but comprehensive bans remain rare. Data shows that since 2026, 30 states have proposed related legislation, with 20 states having passed laws, indicating a continued tightening on the risks of fraud associated with crypto ATMs.

On April 25, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the Treasury is sanctioning multiple wallets associated with Iran, aiming to track and combat all financial lifelines related to the regime. Tether previously announced it has assisted the U.S. government in freezing $344 million worth of cryptocurrency across two addresses. Data from Chainalysis indicates that the activity patterns of these wallets align with the on-chain fund flow characteristics of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) wallets. U.S. officials noted that blockchain analysis revealed that the relevant funds were transacted through intermediary addresses linked to the Central Bank of Iran's wallets, intended to evade sanctions and facilitate international trade. By 2025, Iran's cryptocurrency holdings are projected to reach $7.8 billion, with the IRGC accounting for about 50% of the holdings in the fourth quarter of last year.

On April 25, U.S. Attorney General Janina Pirro announced on the 24th that, given the Federal Reserve's plans to conduct an internal investigation regarding cost overruns on its office renovation project, she has instructed the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia to conclude its investigation into the Federal Reserve's renovation project. According to U.S. media analysis, the Justice Department's decision to end the criminal investigation related to Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell will pave the way for Senate approval of Kevin Waller, nominated by President Trump as the next chair of the Federal Reserve. Pirro stated on social media that the Federal Reserve's Inspector General has been asked to review the cost overruns on the renovation project, which are borne by taxpayers and amount to billions of dollars. She believes the investigation results will help 'resolve the issues' and also indicated that she would not hesitate to restart the criminal investigation if necessary.

On April 25, U.S. President Trump posted on social media, stating: "Those people and companies that have been taking advantage of our country for decades are now trying to reclaim $159 billion, which stems from a terrible and absurd ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court on tariffs. If they had just added a short half sentence - 'the U.S. does not have to refund payments already made' - our country would have saved $159 billion. This is worth more than the total value of most countries! Just think, with a half sentence, we could have saved $159 billion. Can't they do this for our country?"
