On April 25, Bitcoin developer Paul Sztorc announced that the eCash network, a hard fork of Bitcoin continuing to use the SHA-256 hashing algorithm, will be launched in August this year. This proposal will introduce a new competitive Layer blockchain and seven Layer 2 scaling networks called 'drivechains.' BTC holders will be able to exchange their BTC for eCash at a 1:1 ratio once the hard fork goes live. Paul Sztorc stated that unlike Bitcoin Cash in 2017, eCash will not use the 'Bitcoin' name. However, the plan to manually redistribute a portion of Satoshi Nakamoto's approximately 1.1 million BTC to early investors has sparked significant controversy within the community, with some Bitcoin supporters criticizing the move as 'theft and disrespect.'

On April 25, according to an official announcement, Aave service provider has submitted a governance proposal suggesting that Aave DAO contribute 25,000 ETH to participate in the 'DeFi United' joint rescue plan. The funds will be used to restore the peg support for rsETH, alleviate the current collateral shortfall, and promote the market's quick return to normal operations. BlockBeats reported yesterday that on April 24, Marc Zeller, founder of the Aave ecosystem contribution organization Aave Chan Initiative (ACI), stated that instead of initiating donations, it would be better to implement the following plan: establish a deposit vault named 'DeFi United ETH'; transfer Aave's wETH income into this vault, with an annual yield cap set at 5%; tokenize and make the vault deposit certificates tradable, naming them 'AaveETH'; and gradually repay the shortfall through interest and principal.

On April 25, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick stated during a congressional hearing that only one applicant has been approved for the Gold Card visa program launched by Trump. This program is seen as an alternative to the traditional EB-5 investment immigration plan, allowing foreigners to pay at least $1 million to legally reside and work in the U.S., with a pathway to citizenship. Lutnick previously mentioned that the Trump Gold Card program has sold $1.3 billion worth of slots and is expected to generate $1 trillion in revenue to help alleviate the U.S. budget deficit. Although only one person has been officially approved so far, Lutnick noted that hundreds of applicants are still undergoing the review process.

On April 25, macroeconomic factors and geopolitics became the core drivers of the market this week. The ongoing US-Iran tensions continue to affect oil prices and global risk assets, with the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz unresolved and negotiations shifting towards a 'complete ceasefire,' driving safe-haven sentiment that boosts the volatility of the dollar and oil prices. In the market, Trump's influence on the situation has significantly strengthened. Data shows that nearly all of the largest daily fluctuations in US stocks during his second term were policy-driven, with traders speculating around his 'frequent policy shifts,' leading to a clear 'Trumpification' of market pricing logic. Notably, the oil market has seen multiple instances of precise 'front-running' trades: hundreds of millions in short positions appeared and successfully bet on a crash within 15 minutes before a ceasefire or policy shift, accumulating to about $2.6 billion over the month, triggering an insider trading investigation by US regulators. In monetary policy, the US Department of Justice suddenly withdrew its investigation into Powell, clearing the way for Waller to take over as Fed Chair; he emphasized in hearings that he would not become a 'rate-cutting tool' but advocated for institutional reforms. Asset performance has shown significant divergence: oil prices have strengthened unilaterally due to supply shocks, while gold and silver have faced downward pressure; US stocks have reached new highs amid volatility, with structural divergence intensifying; the yen's depreciation is nearing intervention territory. Other important developments include: Tesla raising its capital expenditure to $25 billion to bet on AI and robotics; DeepSeek releasing its V4 model amid reports that Tencent and Alibaba plan to invest at a valuation exceeding $20 billion; and OpenAI releasing GPT-5.5 to accelerate commercialization. Overall, with the combination of geopolitical conflicts and policy uncertainty, the market has entered a state of high volatility, with trading logic shifting from 'macro data-driven' to 'event and power-driven.'
