On April 17th, Fitch Ratings indicated that the unanticipated weakening of the US dollar has provided more leeway for global central banks to adopt easing policies. Fitch currently anticipates that the European Central Bank and emerging markets will further reduce interest rates. With the slowdown of the world economy, the decline in commodity prices, including oil, will also prompt countries outside the US to expedite monetary easing. This will be in contrast to the Fed, as Fitch still expects the Fed to wait until the fourth quarter to cut rates. The report stated that despite the deteriorating outlook for US economic growth, the inflation outlook restricts the Fed's capacity to ease policy. Fitch anticipates that the escalation of tariffs will drive the US inflation rate to 4.3% by the end of the year, which is an increase from the previous forecast of 3.6%. (FX168)

On April 17th, as reported by unchained, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) stated in a memo that it will reassess a practice: how to compensate investors at a price lower than the current market value when digital assets are seized in cases involving fraud and theft. The memo mentioned that the DOJ paid attention to some notable bankruptcy cases in 2022, including FTX, Voyager Digital, Celsius Network, Genesis Global, BlockFi, and Gemini Trust. Although not all of these bankruptcy cases involved criminal prosecutions, the DOJ pointed out that many of these cases led to investors losing digital assets due to "fraud and theft." Additionally, the DOJ also noted that the value of these digital assets has experienced a significant increase in the subsequent years. However, the court's approach is not intended to impose hardships on creditors. The problem lies in the fact that the current U.S. bankruptcy regulations require confiscated assets to be returned to victims at the U.S. dollar
