Fed's Daly stated that if the Iran conflict is resolved quickly and oil prices decline, a rate cut is 'not out of the question.' If inflation remains above expectations for an extended period, we will remain cautious until we are confident that the inflation issue has been addressed. We had work to do on inflation before the oil price shock; now, this work simply requires more time. The likelihood of a rate hike is considered lower than that of a rate cut or maintaining the current rate.

On April 10, Circle's Chief Strategy Officer Dante Disparte issued a statement in response to the theft of over $270 million from Drift Protocol on April 1. Disparte stated that Circle freezes USDC only when legally mandated, and this is not a unilateral decision, nor does it involve backdoors or algorithmic monitoring. This reflects the rule of law in internet-native financial activities. He pointed out that the core issue facing open systems is that the legal framework's response time lags behind technological advancements. Protocols, wallets, exchanges, and stablecoin issuers should view security and accountability as a shared responsibility. DeFi protocols could develop on-chain technical protection measures by referencing the circuit breaker mechanisms in traditional markets. He also urged that the legislative processes for the U.S. GENIUS Act and CLARITY Act should incorporate due process, property rights, and financial privacy protection standards into law before the next major security incident occurs.

On April 10, CoinDesk reported that Bitcoin's price has increased by nearly 7% since last Sunday, but the upward momentum has stalled around $72,000, with market confidence still lacking. Investors are awaiting key events such as the US inflation report on Friday and the US-Iran ceasefire negotiations this weekend. Caution is also evident in the options market. Institutions continue to position for upward movement through call options, with $80,000 call options on Deribit becoming the most popular bet. According to QCP Capital, options linked to BlackRock's Bitcoin spot ETF (IBIT) show strong demand for $45 strike call options expiring in May, as traders expect the IBIT price to rise from the current level of around $40 to above this threshold. Meanwhile, demand for put options (which provide downside protection) remains consistent, with option skew maintaining negative values across all time frames, reflecting the market's ongoing preference for downside protection. On a macro level, the US March CPI is expected to show a significant year-on-year increase exceeding 3%, primarily driven by rising energy prices. If the core CPI, excluding food and energy, exceeds the expected annualized rate of 2.7%, it will further strengthen expectations for Federal Reserve interest rate hikes, putting pressure on risk assets like Bitcoin. In terms of geopolitics, representatives from the US and Iran will hold talks in Pakistan this weekend. If both sides find a way to end the war and restore normal passage for tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, Bitcoin's upward momentum may accelerate.

On April 10, foreign exchange analyst Giuseppe Dellamotta stated that, given the market's focus on US-Iran negotiations and the general perception that the rise in March inflation data was caused by the war, the market is likely to overlook today's data, as everything depends on the outcome of the US-Iran negotiations. There is a significant divergence in predictions for overall CPI, while predictions for core CPI are more concentrated. The Federal Reserve is currently in a firmly neutral position but has opened the door for further tightening of policies in case inflation expectations begin to rise or if the war lasts longer than anticipated. The market expects a loosening space of 7 basis points by the end of the year, indicating that no rate hikes or cuts are expected in 2026.

According to Coindesk, a Twitter user by the name “Burak” (@brqgoo) sent a large swath of the Lightning Network into turmoil on Tuesday morning, when he allegedly created a non-standard Bitcoin transaction that prevented users from opening new Lightning channels (connections between Lightning nodes). Burak’s valid but non-standard transaction caused Bitcoin nodes running an implementation of Bitcoin called btcd, to suddenly stop creating new transaction blocks. This caused a corresponding glitch on all Lightning Network Daemon (LND) nodes. LND nodes rely on information from btcd Bitcoin nodes, and the glitch caused LND nodes to reject all new channel opening requests. Burak’s shenanigans disrupted a good chunk of the Bitcoin and Lightning ecosystems. Core Lightning (CLN) nodes that rely on Bitcoin Core, the most popular implementation of Bitcoin, were unaffected (although this seems to have been by design). Additionally, the bug Burak exploited was quickly patched.
