Trump: Indirect Negotiations with Iran Progressing Well, Agreement Expected Soon
According to the Financial Times, despite U.S. President Trump threatening to seize Iran's oil production rights, he also emphasized that indirect negotiations with Iran through a Pakistani "envoy" are progressing well. When asked whether a ceasefire agreement could be reached and the Strait of Hormuz reopened in the coming days, Trump declined to provide specific details. He stated: "We still have about 3,000 targets left to bomb—13,000 have been bombed so far—with several thousand more awaiting execution.
An agreement is expected soon." Last week, Trump claimed Iran had allowed 10 tankers flying the Pakistani flag to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, calling it "a gift to the White House." He said this number has now increased to 20, and the first tankers have set sail, "sailing right through the center of the strait." He also stated that Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf had personally authorized the passage of these tankers.

Vance Wins Conservative Political Action Conference 2028 Presidential Straw Poll
According to Jinshi Data, a straw poll result showed that U.S. Vice President Vance became the top choice for the Republican presidential candidate at this year's Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). Among the more than 1,600 attendees who voted, about 53% chose Vance, with U.S. Secretary of State Rubio coming in second with 35% of the vote. CPAC is an annual important gathering for Republican lawmakers, activists, and presidential contenders. This year's CPAC conference was held in Grapevine, Texas, with attendees mainly from the Republican conservative camp. The conference's annual straw poll is not a reliable predictor of the final candidate. However, this vote reflects the current support inclination of the core supporters of Trump's "Make America Great Again (MAGA)" movement.
U.S. Senator's Office Plans to Release Stablecoin Yield Clause Draft Next Week, Industry Preparing Counter-Proposal
According to crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett, staff from U.S. Senator Thom Tillis's (R-NC) office revealed that his office plans to publicly release detailed legislative text on stablecoin yield/reward clauses next week and is currently in ongoing consultations with stakeholders.
This move stems from dissatisfaction from Coinbase and other crypto industry stakeholders with the parameters of the plan shown in a small circle earlier this week. David Duong, Global Head of Investment Research at Coinbase, stated that industry leaders are currently preparing a coordinated counter-proposal, "explaining why targeted modifications are needed to protect customers and maintain sustainable reward programs."
Lido DAO Proposal: Plans to Use 10,000 stETH to Buy Back LDO
According to a disclosure on the Lido community forum, the Lido Growth Committee has published a proposal seeking authorization to use up to 10,000 stETH (approximately current market value) from the Lido DAO treasury to purchase LDO in batches through over-the-counter (OTC) and off-chain channels, aiming to seize the market opportunity presented by the current historically low LDO/ETH ratio.
Regarding the proposal background, the LDO/ETH ratio is currently around 0.00016, representing a discount of approximately 63% compared to the two-year median of 0.00043, while the protocol's net income has only decreased by about 20% during the same period, indicating a significant divergence between fundamentals and price trends.
Regarding the execution mechanism, each batch will have a ceiling of 1,000 stETH, with a price cap and a maximum slippage tolerance threshold of 3%; after execution is completed, a report must be published on the forum before the next batch can be initiated. Trading channels include on-chain (CoW Swap, 1inch, Uniswap) and centralized exchanges (Binance, OKX, Bybit, etc.), and market makers may be delegated to execute on their behalf. All purchased LDO will be returned to the DAO treasury and will not participate in any governance voting during the holding period.
Regarding risks, the proposal identifies main risks including front-running attacks, smart contract vulnerabilities, market volatility, and CEX fund freezes, and proposes mitigation through mechanisms such as diversifying execution channels, setting strict thresholds, and retaining the DAO's right to terminate authorization at any time.
