On April 5, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a statement claiming it targeted petrochemical facilities in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Kuwait, and Bahrain; an oil refinery in Israel; and a gas facility in the UAE. Should another attack on civilian targets in Iran occur, the impact on U.S. economic interests in the region will escalate further.

April 5: Jan3 CEO Samson Mow took aim at Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong again, criticizing him for meddling in Bitcoin technical decisions. Mow noted the issues Armstrong highlighted during the block size war a decade ago remain unchanged today. He argued Armstrong lacks humility and a deep grasp of the issues, prioritizing setting opinions, action plans, and timelines over analyzing trade-offs. Mow also pointed out Coinbase’s own address reuse problem has left its wallet infrastructure vulnerable to quantum attacks and caused frequent outages during transaction peaks—suggesting Armstrong should “fix his own house first.” Mow believes the quantum computer threat has not materialized and is not expected to do so in the next 10–20 years. Thus, there should be no rush to switch from ECDSA/Schnorr to post-quantum signatures; instead, it’s “better late than early” to avoid greater risks. He detailed three major downsides of a hasty anti-quantum upgrade: 1. It could expose Bitcoin t

April 5 — Garrett Jin, an agent with "BTC OG Insider Whale," published a lengthy article titled *Oil is War*, arguing that oil is not a byproduct of the U.S.-Iran conflict but its core driver. All other economic and financial variables—including stocks, bonds, cryptocurrencies, Fed policy, and food prices—are downstream outcomes of oil prices; accurately forecasting oil trends will clarify the direction of the entire market. Jin contends the U.S.-Iran conflict has moved beyond expectations of "surgical airstrikes" to become a long-term attritional war. The ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz will drive a structural rise in oil prices, not a temporary surge. The conflict has escalated into a protracted battle: the strait has been closed for over five weeks, U.S. ground forces are massing, and there is no clear path to victory or signs of rapid de-escalation. Iran’s strategy is not to win but to make the war costly enough to force Washington to seek an exit. The most likely sce

April 5 — China’s State Taxation Administration (STA) and the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission (CBIRC) have jointly released a notice to further deepen and standardize “bank-tax interaction” work. The notice emphasizes three key goals: 1. Deepening the application of bank-tax data, and standardizing the content and delivery of data shared between banks and tax authorities to tackle information asymmetry. 2. Encouraging regional tax and banking bodies to leverage technologies like blockchain and privacy computing to innovate the “bank-tax interaction” model in a compliant, rule-abiding way. 3. Requiring banks to keep optimizing credit services, expand financing access for tax-compliant taxpayers, and regularly monitor the effectiveness of the “bank-tax interaction” loan model to strengthen risk management. This rewrite aligns with U.S. news style: concise, structured with clear bullet points (for readability), uses natural financial terminology (e.g., “fina

**April 5** 10x Research said in an analysis that Ethereum has effectively been “dead money” over the past five years, with its price lingering near the $2,000 level first hit in the last cycle. Since last November, the firm has held a cautious—at times bearish—outlook, citing subdued on-chain activity that’s crimping both demand and meaningful value accrual for ETH holders. That said, Ethereum now looks relatively cheap after a 57% drop from its August 2025 peak—especially compared to Bitcoin, which only fell ~42% over the same stretch. Despite steep paper losses (including a roughly $8 billion hit for Ethereum treasury firm BitMine), accumulation is still ongoing—and USDT supply on Ethereum recently overtook Tron’s. This has reignited the narrative that Ethereum could be a top beneficiary of stablecoin growth, and may emerge as the financial backbone for a more on-chain, Wall Street-aligned infrastructure. In this light, it’s worth asking: Is Ethereum nearing a turning point

April 5 – According to Xinhua News Agency, citing Iran's Fars News Agency, multiple U.S. soldiers were killed during an operation to rescue the pilot of a downed U.S. fighter jet. Sources also reported that the U.S. military attempted to destroy the aircraft’s wreckage, even targeting the bodies of deceased U.S. soldiers.
