On April 12, U.S. President Trump shared an article on social media advocating for a 'naval blockade' of Iran. In response, the Iranian embassy in Austria stated that a blockade cannot 'open' the Strait of Hormuz. The embassy wrote on social media: 'A simple explanation for those concerned: a blockade is a blockade. It cannot 'open' the Strait of Hormuz; it will only impose restrictions. The only way to escape this self-created predicament is to remain open and flexible in negotiations. Follow reason.' (Xinhua)

On April 12, the prediction market Polymarket's prediction link briefly appeared in Google News search results, displayed alongside mainstream media such as Reuters and The Guardian, but was quickly removed. A Google spokesperson stated that the platform's appearance in Google News was an "error" and confirmed that "the website is no longer appearing in the news section." Previously, when users searched for event-driven prediction questions (such as "Will ships pass through the Strait of Hormuz?"), Polymarket's prediction market entries would directly show below traditional news organizations. Both Polymarket and its competitor Kalshi have been actively promoting integration with media and platforms. Google had partnered with both platforms last year to incorporate their data into the Google Finance section. Additionally, the X platform announced Polymarket as its official prediction market partner in June of last year, and the crypto wallet MetaMask, along with World’s World App, have also integrated the Polymarket application.

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost posted on the X platform that the current Bitcoin market is entering an early stabilization phase, with long-term holding behavior gradually increasing, indicating a potential shift in market structure. Data shows that since October, the number of BTC held for over a year has risen from approximately 12 million to about 12.4 million. Although the increase is still moderate, it reflects a market behavior leaning towards long-term holding, suggesting that investors are more inclined to continue holding rather than distributing their assets. This change typically indicates a transition from a speculation-dominated phase to a stronger long-term conviction phase. Historically, the proportion of long-term holdings tends to decline significantly at market tops and gradually recover during bear markets, making the current trend a potential early signal of market stabilization.

Some links to Polymarket's prediction markets briefly appeared in the search results of Google News, displayed alongside mainstream media news, but were subsequently removed. A spokesperson for Google stated that this display was a system error, noting, "The site briefly appeared in Google News due to an error and is no longer displayed." It has been reported that before the removal, users found Polymarket's market predictions appearing under mainstream media reports from outlets like Reuters and The Guardian in event-driven searches, such as queries about whether ships would pass through the Strait of Hormuz, where relevant news and betting market information appeared simultaneously.

On April 12, sources revealed that US-Iran negotiations will continue, and Vance's departure is merely a display of power. Additionally, the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament stated that the Iranian delegation presented forward-looking proposals, but the other side ultimately failed to gain the trust of the Iranian delegation in this round of negotiations. The US has understood Iran's logic and principles, and now it is their decision whether they can earn our trust. Earlier today, the US-Iran negotiations concluded without an agreement, and following the talks, US Vice President Vance left Pakistan, while the Iranian delegation is also set to depart on the 12th. The time, location, and agenda for the next round of US-Iran negotiations have yet to be announced.

On April 12, CITIC Securities published an analysis regarding the US-Iran negotiations, stating that from the perspective of the US's core demands, if Iran can abandon uranium enrichment, it would become the most significant achievement of the US in the war, and also the greatest 'accomplishment' Trump can use to appease domestic concerns. The current conflict has already had a considerable negative impact on Trump's midterm elections, necessitating an early withdrawal. Since the Iranian Islamic Revolution, the US has lost control over Iran's nuclear capabilities, and past US presidents have failed to resolve this issue, severely affecting America's strategy in the Middle East. Compared to the significant political propaganda effect of Iran's 'nuclear abandonment' achievement, the indirect connection between oil prices and inflation may have a smaller impact on the elections. Therefore, the Trump administration may be willing to compromise on issues such as control over the Strait of Hormuz. From Iran's core demands, this war has demonstrated that blocking the strait and threatening Middle Eastern infrastructure are extremely important bargaining chips, even more destructive and flexible than the threat of nuclear weapons. Unlike nuclear weapons, which are costly and difficult to control, blockading the strait and attacking infrastructure can have a significant impact on the US and global economy with low-cost drones, thus forming a tool for Iran to balance against the US. The repeated avoidance of large-scale infrastructure destruction by both the US and Iran also indicates that the probability of extreme escalation of the war is not high, and the likelihood of extreme oil prices, severe recession, or stagflation is decreasing.

On April 12, X Product Head Nikita Bier announced that "in this round of creator revenue sharing, the revenue share for all aggregator accounts has been reduced to 60%. In the next cycle, it will be further decreased by 20%. The platform believes this change stems from a clear phenomenon: a large number of accounts flood the timeline with 'reposted stolen content' and clickbait information daily, squeezing the exposure space for genuine creators and stifling the growth of new authors. Moving forward, the platform plans to implement permanent revenue deductions for accounts that consistently use clickbait labels like 'BREAKING' to drive traffic. X will not restrict speech or the range of dissemination, but will not provide revenue compensation for manipulating distribution mechanisms or misleading user behavior.

Paolo Ardoino, CEO of stablecoin issuer Tether, stated on the X platform that 'artificial intelligence should be as open as freedom.' He believes that the path of centralized AI has reached a 'dead end.' In the context of major tech companies continuing to build closed AI systems, Tether is promoting a contrary direction by exploring solutions to run AI models on local devices through QVAC. This approach enables users to have control over their own data and computing power, aligning with the core principle of 'self-custody' in the crypto industry, which asserts that users should have sovereignty over their data and computational resources.

According to LedgerInsights, the Bank of Korea completed the second phase of its retail central bank digital currency (CBDC) simulations in late June and today shared the results. While it was happy with some aspects of its digital won simulations, such as using CBDC for offline payments and cross border remittances, the central bank highlighted performance issues with the blockchain technology.
Specifically, it found the overall performance of the Ethereum-based blockchain insufficient, including the scaling solutions and privacy technology that was tested.
“There will be some limitations in real-time processing of transactions during peak times”, said the Bank of Korea.
One of its tests simulated peak demand by sustaining 4,200 transactions per second (TPS) for 30 minutes. At that activity level, users sometimes had to wait up to a minute for a response (latency).
