U.S. Senator Thom Tillis is urging the Senate Banking Committee to postpone its consideration of the crypto market structure bill until May to allow more time for banks and the crypto industry to finalize a compromise on stablecoin regulation. This move aims to provide additional room for negotiation on key disagreements surrounding stablecoins and to push for a more viable regulatory framework. (Cointelegraph)

In a tweet, Trump stated that the agreement we are negotiating with Iran will be far better than the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) (the Iran nuclear deal). The latter, drafted by Barack Hussein Obama and Sleepy Joe Biden, is one of the worst security agreements in the history of our country. It was a guaranteed path to nuclear weapons—something the agreement we are negotiating will not and cannot allow. They (the previous administration) loaded $1.7 billion in cash onto Boeing 757s and sent it to Iran, allowing the Iranian leadership to spend it as they pleased. They emptied banks in Washington, Virginia, and Maryland. Those bankers said they had never seen anything like it. In addition, hundreds of billions of dollars were paid to Iran. If I hadn't terminated that "agreement," nuclear weapons would have been used to attack Israel and various parts of the Middle East, including our cherished U.S. military bases. An agreement reached during Trump's term will guarantee peace, security, and safeguards, not only for Israel and the Middle East, but also for Europe, the United States, and everywhere else. This will be something the whole world can be proud of, instead of the years of embarrassment and humiliation we have been forced to endure due to incompetent and cowardly leadership, as we have done for many years.

Following the KelpDAO attack, Dune published an analysis on its X platform of the DVN security configurations of all active OApps on LayerZero over the past 90 days. The data showed that out of approximately 2,665 individual contracts, about 47% used the lowest security level 1-of-1 DVN configuration, 45% used 2-of-2, and about 5% used 3-of-3 or higher configurations. The analysis concluded that KelpDAO's rsETH falls into the 1-of-1 configuration category, highlighting the widespread inadequacy of current cross-chain applications in terms of security redundancy design.

Renewed disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and escalating tensions between the United States and Iran have led to an increase in oil prices. According to NS3.AI, these developments have also strengthened the U.S. dollar index and revived concerns about inflation. While silver may experience larger short-term fluctuations compared to gold, the spot-market drivers and industrial demand expectations for silver remain weak.

Curve founder Michael Egorov expressed on the X platform that decentralized finance (DeFi) is poised to be the future of the global financial system. According to Odaily, he highlighted recent security incidents, many of which stem from centralized single points of failure, as significant obstacles to the industry's progress. Egorov cited the Aave and rsETH incidents as examples, where multiple parties claimed the systems were functioning normally, yet users were unable to withdraw funds. This situation exposed issues related to infrastructure dependency and the dispersion of responsibility. He emphasized the need for the industry to proactively reduce single point of failure risks and to distribute trust when unavoidable, while sharing best practices and security experiences. Egorov called for the establishment of unified DeFi security standards and suggested that ecosystem organizations, including the Ethereum Foundation and Solana Foundation, lead the development and verification of security principles and guidelines.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Ghalibaf announced early on the 21st local time that US President Trump, through imposing blockades and violating the ceasefire agreement, is attempting to turn the negotiating table into a surrender table for Iran, or to find an excuse to provoke another war. Currently, the US is frequently announcing plans to send a delegation to the negotiations, while Iran has stated its refusal to negotiate. Analysts point out that Iran's statements reflect multiple considerations and concerns: First, Iran questions the US's sincerity in negotiations. Iran once announced a conditional temporary opening of the Strait of Hormuz, but this did not result in the US lifting its blockade of Iranian ports. Second, it's a negotiation tactic. "Refusing to negotiate" is often a significant bargaining chip outside the negotiating table. If Iran shows an eagerness to negotiate, the US is likely to exert further pressure. In the absence of basic trust, both sides will engage in a series of probing maneuvers before negotiations, testing each other's bottom lines. Third, there are strong voices and anti-American sentiment within Iran. Hardliners believe that Iran's premature statement of returning to the negotiating table under continued US pressure is a sign of compromise and concession. Currently, the US and Iran have disagreements on multiple issues, including the nuclear issue, passage through the Strait of Hormuz, and sanctions against Iran. There is a serious lack of mutual trust between the two sides, and a significant gap exists between their expectations for achieving these goals through negotiations. Analysis indicates that the current situation may unfold in several ways: First, both sides may return to the negotiating table within the ceasefire period, or reach a consensus to extend the ceasefire and continue negotiations. However, the likelihood of reaching a comprehensive and long-term agreement in the short term is low, and negotiations could break down again at any time due to a hardline statement or action from one side. Second, the two sides may descend into a "limited-scale conflict." After the ceasefire expires, the military standoff and harassment between the US and Iran around the Strait of Hormuz will continue, and hostilities may reignite. Third, the conflict could escalate on a large scale and spiral out of control. The US has recently continued to issue military threats against Iran, but US analysts believe that due to rising war costs and increased electoral political pressure, the Trump administration has relatively limited decision-making space for a large-scale escalation of the conflict.
