On April 9, Galaxy Digital announced its first annual report since going public on NASDAQ. Founder and CEO Mike Novogratz stated that this listing is not only a milestone but also a declaration that the digital economy has become a reality. Over the past eight years, Galaxy has continued to develop amidst the bull and bear cycles of the cryptocurrency industry, regulatory uncertainties, and industry crises, firmly believing that blockchain and digital assets will reshape the global financial system. Currently, the regulatory framework in the U.S. is becoming clearer, with banks, asset management institutions, and even the U.S. government accelerating their entry into the market. The industry is transitioning from being 'narrative-driven' to 'infrastructure-driven.' The company's strategic focus is shifting towards building compliant financial infrastructure, including on-chain financial rails, custody solutions, and tokenization platforms, to facilitate large-scale institutional capital flowing on-chain. Meanwhile, Galaxy is ramping up its AI infrastructure initiatives, with its Helios data center project in Texas receiving approval for over 1.6 gigawatts of power and entering into an 800-megawatt leasing partnership with AI cloud service provider CoreWeave, corresponding to an investment scale exceeding $7.5 billion. With an additional 830 megawatts of custom construction, the long-term investment scale of the Helios project is expected to exceed $15 billion, becoming an important asset for the company with high returns and sustainable growth. Despite increased market volatility expected in 2025, Galaxy continues to push forward with key initiatives during this downturn, viewing the current phase as a long-term opportunity window. The company plans to continuously expand its global data center and digital infrastructure footprint, aiming to create a multi-regional, multi-technology asset portfolio valued at over $100 billion. Novogratz stated that the digital economy is still in its early stages, and Galaxy has built a comprehensive platform covering institutional trading, asset management, on-chain infrastructure, and AI computing power, with plans for long-term deep involvement in this transformative process.

On April 9, according to the Iranian Students' News Agency, the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, Mohammad Eslami, stated that no law or individual can prevent Iran from executing its uranium enrichment program, asserting that claims to limit Iran's uranium enrichment will ultimately come to nothing. Eslami also mentioned that the 'enemies' now seek to reach an agreement through negotiations because their previous actions, including acts of war, have yielded no results. (Xinhua News Agency)

On April 9, multiple sources reported that Iran has put forward 'ten demands' in ceasefire negotiations, covering security, sanctions, nuclear issues, and regional military arrangements. Although some terms have shown signs of flexibility, significant differences remain between the US and Iran on key issues, leaving the prospects for an agreement unclear. The main points of contention include: Control of the Strait of Hormuz: Iran demands to maintain control over this critical energy passage, while the US insists on 'full openness,' leading to sharp disagreements. Uranium enrichment rights: Iran seeks to retain its enrichment capabilities, which the US has previously opposed, leaving only symbolic compromise space. Sanctions relief: Iran demands a complete lifting of primary and secondary sanctions, but this involves considerations from the US Congress and national security, making implementation difficult. US troop withdrawal from the Middle East: Iran hopes for a complete withdrawal of US forces, but the US is unlikely to accept this in the short term. Scope of regional conflicts: Iran advocates for including fronts such as Lebanon in the ceasefire, but the US has clearly denied such arrangements. Additionally, Iran's demands for war reparations and the termination of relevant UN and nuclear oversight resolutions face significant political and legal obstacles. Notably, mediators have revealed that Iran has made concessions on some terms, including downplaying compensation demands and adjusting its stance on nuclear issues, but overall negotiations remain in a phase of contention. Analysts believe that the current ceasefire is more likely a 'temporary buffer' rather than a substantive solution. Until core interests are aligned, the situation remains at risk of fluctuations.

On April 9, EU Economic Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis stated in the European Parliament that the EU faces the risk of concurrent inflation and economic stagnation due to the war in Iran. He pointed out that despite the announcement of a ceasefire this week, the long-term outlook remains shrouded in significant uncertainty. Dombrovskis warned that the European economy is at risk of stagflation. He indicated that EU analysis suggests that in a short-term disruption scenario, economic growth could be approximately 0.2 to 0.4 percentage points lower than the EU's predictions from last autumn, while inflation could be 1 percentage point higher. He stated: If supply disruptions are more severe and prolonged, the negative impact on growth will be greater. Growth in 2026 and 2027 could be 0.6 percentage points lower, with inflation being even higher.

On April 9, according to ITV News, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister made the latest statements on two major issues. He denied that the Strait of Hormuz is closed, stating that the strait is open to all civilian vessels and that related reports are incorrect. However, he pointed out that due to leftover naval mines from the war, passing ships must contact Iranian authorities in advance to obtain safe navigation guidance, and those who have communicated with Iran have received permission to pass. The Iranian delegation will go to Islamabad for peace negotiations, but on the condition that Israel stops its attacks on Lebanon. The Deputy Foreign Minister emphasized that any regional peace agreement must include Lebanon, stating, 'The next few hours will be crucial.' He also revealed that Iran was on the verge of taking retaliatory action last night but ultimately chose restraint in consideration of advancing diplomacy, especially since the U.S. has requested Israel to cease fire. Currently, Iran still leaves room for negotiations, but its stance is clear: a ceasefire in Lebanon is a prerequisite for participation, and the direction of the situation in the coming hours will directly determine whether the Islamabad talks can proceed as scheduled.

On April 9, Iranian Ambassador to Pakistan Moghaddam suddenly deleted a social media post announcing the delegation's attendance at the talks in Islamabad, adding uncertainty to the first round of US-Iran peace negotiations originally scheduled to take place there. The White House confirmed on Thursday that Vice President JD Vance will lead a delegation to Pakistan on Saturday to attend the talks. There are fundamental disagreements between the US and Iran regarding the ceasefire agreement reached on Tuesday: 1. Lebanese Issue: Iran insists that the ceasefire covers Lebanon and demands that Israel stop its attacks on Hezbollah; Trump and Vance have explicitly denied this, stating that Lebanon was never included in the ceasefire scope. 2. Uranium Enrichment Issue: Iran claims that the agreement guarantees its right to uranium enrichment, while the US has made it clear that it 'will never accept' this. Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf issued a statement on Wednesday, listing three alleged violations: the ceasefire in Lebanon has not been observed, drone incursions into Iranian airspace, and denial of uranium enrichment rights, bluntly stating that 'under these circumstances, bilateral ceasefire or negotiations are completely unreasonable.' The core contradictions are as follows: Israel refuses to halt military actions against Hezbollah, and the US rejects Iran's uranium enrichment. The negotiations have not yet begun, and cracks are already appearing in the foundation. The subsequent direction depends on whether the Iranian delegation ultimately proceeds.

On April 9, gaming giant Valve was reported to be developing an internal artificial intelligence tool called 'SteamGPT', primarily aimed at improving customer service processing efficiency and internal task management capabilities. According to leaked backend code information, the system includes two main modules: 'SteamGPT' and 'SteamGPTSummary', which can automatically retrieve and summarize player account information (such as registration duration, credit score, etc.), assisting customer service in quickly assessing user situations and resolving issues. Additionally, the tool can intelligently summarize support requests and internal tasks, optimizing team workflows. Currently, SteamGPT is positioned as an internal productivity tool and is not available to users. Valve prefers to leverage AI's retrieval and summarization capabilities to enhance operational efficiency rather than directly introducing a conversational AI for players.

Belgium’s Financial Services and Markets Authority said Thursday.The regulator said it was getting an increasing number of questions about the regulatory treatment of crypto and hoped to address the most frequently occurring gray areas, including when digital assets can be classified as securities.In jurisdictions such as the U.S., squabbles over when crypto is a security have led to court proceedings, with the Securities and Exchange Commission saying Ripple Labs should have registered its cryptocurrency XRP.The Belgian rule “is neutral as regards technology,” FSMA added, suggesting that classification as a financial instrument or security shouldn’t depend on whether an asset uses a blockchain or something more traditional.The rules, which largely mirror those set out in a July consultation, say that transferable instruments with an issuer are likely to constitute a security.
