On April 20, following a Supreme Court ruling that deemed the tariff policy illegal, the US government will initiate a refund process starting April 20. Businesses can submit applications through a new customs system to reclaim tariffs that were previously collected under emergency powers. The court determined that only Congress has the authority to impose tariffs, forcing the government to revoke this policy. It is estimated that over 330,000 importers, covering 53 million batches of goods, may be eligible for refunds. Once applications are approved, refunds and corresponding interest will be processed within 60 to 90 days, although the review period for complex cases may take longer. Relevant officials have warned that this refund process is large in scale and quite complex, but the funds will be paid directly to the businesses that originally bore the tariff costs.

On April 20, Matthew Sigel, Head of Digital Asset Research at VanEck, posted on social media that as Bitcoin miners increasingly venture into AI infrastructure, GUC, the world's largest turnkey Bitcoin ASIC design partner, has successfully transformed into the largest design partner for AI-driven CPUs, with clients including Google, Microsoft, and the upcoming xAI. Benefiting from the rising adoption of AI agents, market expectations for the CPU ecosystem continue to be upgraded: Morgan Stanley predicts that Google's CPU shipments will reach 1.5 million units by 2026, double the HSBC benchmark forecast of 700,000 units made three months ago, primarily due to the market's accelerated shift from traditional x86 architecture. Driven by this momentum, GUC's stock surged 10% last night, reaching a historic high.

DefiLlama founder 0xngmi addressed the Aave TVL controversy in a post on platform X. He stated that the current market view that Aave's TVL is overstated due to looping is not accurate. When calculating TVL, borrowed assets are excluded, so looping operations do not inflate the TVL. For example, if a user deposits $1 million in ETH, it counts towards the TVL, while another user deposits $1 million in stETH and borrows $1 million in assets, it corresponds to '+$1 million -$1 million', resulting in a final TVL of still $1 million. DefiLlama has proactively excluded instances of double counting. Previously, it was found that Ethena's collateral assets deposited into Aave and subsequently looped by users had led to an inflated TVL, and thus, those deposits have been removed from Aave's TVL. The community's related doubts lack basis.

Bloomberg's senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas posted on platform X that Bitcoin ETF inflows have surpassed $1 billion this year, successfully reversing the previous trend of net outflows and achieving positive growth. The next key indicator to watch is the cumulative historical net inflow size (the most important and challenging metric), which previously peaked at $62.8 billion and is currently around $58 billion, leaving a gap of about $5 billion to reach a new all-time high. In the development of asset classes, it is crucial to control the scale of outflows during market downturns to reduce subsequent repair pressure; in this regard, the performance of spot Bitcoin ETFs has outperformed other popular asset classes.
