On April 23, Shigeru Shimizu, head of the Risk Analysis Division of the Comprehensive Policy Bureau at Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA), revealed that a bill to transfer crypto assets from the Payment Services Act to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act has been submitted to the extraordinary Diet session. This move aims to enhance user protection, with core measures including the implementation of information disclosure by issuers, the establishment of a new category for 'crypto asset trading businesses', increased penalties for unlicensed operators, and strengthened enforcement, as well as the introduction of insider trading regulations and a penalty system.

Additionally, three ongoing empirical experiments from the 'Payment Innovation Project (PIP)' initiated by the FSA in November last year include: first, a joint issuance of yen stablecoins involving major banks to verify efficiency in cross-border settlements for large trading companies; second, on-chain securities settlement, which records the transfer of rights for government bonds, stocks, etc., on the blockchain using a transfer system, synchronized with existing laws, and aims for simultaneous delivery of cash and securities through stablecoin payments, targeting 24/7 continuous trading settlement; third, interbank transfer of tokenized deposits, which aims to establish a transfer mechanism for tokenized deposits between different banks, in conjunction with the Bank of Japan's 'Central Bank Tokenized Deposit Sandbox Project'.

On April 23, Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch announced on Twitter that the team has completed an in-depth security investigation, analyzing nearly 1PB of complete Vercel network and API logs, far exceeding the initial Context.ai account breach incident. The investigation revealed that the attackers' activities extended beyond Context.ai and have distributed malware more broadly, targeting the theft of account keys from platforms like Vercel. Once the keys are obtained, attackers can quickly and comprehensively enumerate non-sensitive environment variables. Current measures include deepening collaboration with industry partners such as Microsoft, AWS, and Wiz to jointly protect the broader internet ecosystem; other suspected victims have been notified and advised to immediately rotate credentials and strengthen security best practices.

On April 23, market focus shifted from geopolitics to "event-triggered liquidity." Following the release of ceasefire-related signals, Bitcoin surged rapidly, nearing the $80,000 mark, accompanied by approximately $339 million in short liquidations, resulting in a typical liquidation-driven rally. This indicates that the current momentum is not driven by active capital engagement but rather by passive pressure causing price extensions. From an external perspective, U.S.-Iran negotiations remain at a stage of "having a window but no consensus." Internal divisions in Iran and ongoing energy blockades continue, and macro risks have not been substantially alleviated. This also explains why the price failed to establish a trend after reaching high liquidity levels, instead returning to a range of fluctuations. Structurally, the current Bitcoin price range of approximately $78,000 to $80,000 represents a clear area of liquidity and liquidation concentration, while the range of $73,000 to $75,000 continues to see support. The price has repeatedly penetrated key ranges quickly before retreating, fundamentally reflecting that liquidity is being triggered repeatedly rather than establishing a trend. Overall, until policies and geopolitical risks are re-anchored, the crypto market continues to operate in a rhythm of "event → liquidation → return." At this moment, Bitcoin is not the starting point of a trend but rather an indicator of whether capital is willing to take on risk.

At the 9th BCCC Collaborative Day held on April 21, Shigeru Shimizu, head of the Risk Analysis Division of the Comprehensive Policy Bureau at Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA), revealed that a bill to transfer crypto assets from the Fund Settlement Act to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act has been submitted to the extraordinary Diet. This move aims to enhance user protection, with core measures including the introduction of a new category for 'crypto asset trading businesses' based on whether issuers implement information disclosure, increased penalties for unlicensed operators, strengthened enforcement, and the establishment of regulations against insider trading and a taxation system.
