On April 22, the Sui ecosystem liquid staking platform Volo reported a security breach incident, resulting in the theft of approximately $3.5 million in assets (including WBTC, XAUm, and USDC) from three specific Vaults. Following the incident, the team immediately notified the Sui Foundation and ecosystem partners, and froze all Vaults to prevent further losses. The breach only affected three Vaults, and the remaining Vaults do not share the same attack vector, ensuring that approximately $28 million in TVL assets remain secure. Volo will absorb the losses and will not pass them on to users, and a complete post-incident report and remediation plan will be released after the investigation is concluded.

On April 22, scammers impersonated Iranian authorities, demanding cryptocurrency payments in exchange for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, with at least one ship reportedly falling victim to the scheme. Greek maritime risk service company Marisks issued a warning that several shipping companies have received scam messages posing as Iranian authorities, requesting payment in Bitcoin or USDT. The company believes that at least one ship became a victim of this scam over the weekend and was attacked by gunfire while attempting to pass through the strait. Marisks stated, "This specific information is a scam," confirming that the related messages did not originate from Iranian officials. The original scam message released by Marisks stated: "After submitting documents and having them assessed by Iranian security authorities, we will determine the fees to be paid in cryptocurrency (BTC or USDT). Only then will your vessel be allowed to pass freely through the strait at the agreed time." Since the U.S. and Israel launched a war against Iran on February 28, passage through the Strait of Hormuz has essentially been blocked by Iran, with approximately 20,000 oil tankers and other cargo ships currently stranded in the Gulf. A week ago, U.S. President Trump ordered a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which has since led to the seizure of an Iranian vessel attempting to evade the operation. On April 9, Iranian authorities controlling this strategic chokepoint proposed charging a cryptocurrency toll for ships in exchange for safe passage, with Hamid Hosseini, spokesperson for the Iranian Oil, Gas and Petrochemical Products Exporters' Association, stating that the toll could be settled in Bitcoin. The Iranian authorities have not yet commented on Marisks' warning.

On April 22, according to Cryptopolitan, the State Duma of Russia passed the bill on "Digital Currency and Digital Rights" in its first reading, legalizing cryptocurrency in Russia. The Central Bank of Russia will become the main regulatory authority, responsible for issuing licenses, approving or prohibiting cryptocurrency transactions, and determining the legality of transactions. Cryptocurrency is considered property but is prohibited for domestic payments for goods and services, with the ruble (including the digital ruble) remaining the only legal tender. Businesses may use cryptocurrency for foreign trade settlements amid sanctions. The bill must be passed by July 1, 2026, at which point ordinary Russian citizens will be able to legally purchase digital assets through licensed intermediaries. Investors are categorized as qualified and non-qualified, with non-qualified investors required to pass a test and having an annual purchase limit (the Central Bank proposes 300,000 rubles, approximately $4,000).

On April 22, Caixin reported that the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has released a consultation paper proposing to establish more favorable regulatory capital guidelines for crypto assets on permissionless blockchains before implementing the Basel capital regulations for crypto assets. The current Basel regulations are considered overly stringent for classifying public chain assets, which may stifle innovation in the banking sector. The Basel capital regulations for crypto assets categorize them into two groups: the first group includes tokenized traditional assets and stablecoins, which are subject to lower capital requirements, while the second group includes crypto assets that do not meet the above criteria. The MAS intends to abandon the practice of categorizing all permissionless blockchain crypto assets as part of the second group, allowing them to be classified as first group crypto assets with lower risk weights and more lenient prudential requirements, provided they meet a series of principled conditions. Specifically, for banks registered in Singapore, the risk exposure of permissionless blockchain crypto assets classified as first group must not exceed 2% of the bank's Tier 1 capital, and if the issuance creates liabilities at the bank level, the issuance size must not exceed 5% of Tier 1 capital.

According to monitoring by Beating, Anthropic has removed Claude Code from its Pro subscription without issuing an announcement, only updating the pricing page. New Pro users who wish to use Claude Code must upgrade to the Max subscription starting at $100/month. Amol Avasare, Anthropic's head of growth, later clarified on X that this is a small-scale test affecting about 2% of newly registered Pro users, and existing Pro and Max subscribers are not impacted. Amol explained that when Max was launched a year ago, it did not include Claude Code, and features like Cowork and long-running agents were not available, as it was designed solely for heavy chatting. After Claude Code was integrated into Max, usage increased significantly following the release of Opus 4, with long-running asynchronous agents becoming part of daily workflows, leading to a substantial rise in average usage among subscribers, which the existing subscription was not designed for. Anthropic had previously imposed weekly limits and peak hour restrictions, and is still testing different options and collecting feedback. He promised that if the final plan affects existing subscribers, they would be notified well in advance, stating, 'The message will come from us, not from screenshots on X or Reddit.' OpenAI Codex head Thibault Sottiaux promptly stated on X that Codex will continue to be available in the Free and Plus ($20/month) subscriptions, emphasizing that OpenAI has the computing power and efficient models to support this, and that any major changes will be communicated to the community in advance, asserting, 'Transparency and trust are two principles we will not undermine, even if it means earning less in the short term.' Sam Altman retweeted Tibo's post with the comment, 'We want you to have lots of AI.'
