WSJ: U.S. Treasury Secretary and Commerce Secretary successfully persuaded President Trump to postpone the implementation of the aggressive tariff plan while Trade Advisor Navarro was absent

12 hours ago

April 19: As per The Wall Street Journal, it is reported that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick managed to persuade President Trump to postpone the implementation of his aggressive global tariff plan on April 9 when White House senior trade adviser Peter Navarro was absent. Multiple sources disclosed that on that morning, when Navarro was supposed to meet with White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett in another area, Bessent and Lutnick seized this opportunity. They quickly went to the Oval Office and proposed to Trump the idea of temporarily deferring some tariffs while Navarro was unable to promptly counter their arguments. Under their persuasion, Trump agreed to halt some tariffs and immediately announced it to stabilize the market. One source mentioned that they even waited until Trump finished posting on Truth Social before leaving, leaving Navarro in a state of surprise. Trump's post led to a significant rise in the stock market, and the bond market also stabilized accordingly. On that day, he explained that the decision was made because he noticed "unusual volatility" in the financial markets, especially warning signs in the bond market. However, just a few hours earlier, he had posted on Truth Social, asking the public to "stay calm," hinting that the original policy might be maintained. BlockBeats Note: Peter Navarro is a White House senior trade adviser and a professor of economics at the University of California. Navarro was favored by Trump due to his views on trade and served as the head of the National Trade Council during Trump's first term. He was sentenced to four months in prison in 2024 for contempt of Congress. During this period, Trump is reported to have told others, "Navarro is in jail for me." On April 6 this year, Navarro said in a Fox interview, "You don't lose money if you don't sell your stocks," which sparked market discussions.

Glassnode: Bitcoin Whales Who Accumulated at Peaks Now HODLing, Typically Signaling Bear Market Confirmation

On April 19th, Glassnode released a post indicating that the Unspent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) data of Bitcoin, standardized by drawdown, shows that short-term holders have already suffered a significant loss in this round of correction, a level comparable to the early stages of a bear market in past cycles. Bitcoin's long-term holders are still generally in a profitable state. However, as the bitcoins purchased at higher prices gradually "age" and transition into the category of long-term holdings, the market's ability to absorb losses may increase. Historically, this transition often indicates the confirmation of a bear market, although a similar market trend has not yet emerged.

KiloEx has announced that it will release a reboot schedule as soon as the initial audit is completed.

April 19th. According to official information, KiloEx declared that its partner SlowMist has made two audit plans: 1. A full audit by SlowMist prior to KiloEx's relaunch: This audit is estimated to take approximately 45 days to guarantee comprehensive security coverage. 2. A preliminary permission audit by SlowMist: SlowMist will initially audit the protocol's permission mechanism to prevent incidents similar to the previous attack. KiloEx will determine whether to relaunch based on the outcomes of the preliminary permission audit. Subsequently, SlowMist will continue with a full audit of the protocol's logic and economic model. The required time is still being assessed but will be notably less than 45 days. KiloEx is aware of the community's eager desire for a relaunch, so it has decided to opt for option two - conducting an initial permission audit first. Once the audit results are obtained, KiloEx will promptly announce the timeline for the relaunch.
