Traditional finance leaders Charles Schwab and Citadel Securities are contemplating entry into the burgeoning prediction markets sector. According to Cointelegraph, Charles Schwab CEO Rick Wurster expressed interest in prediction markets during a call with investors, noting that while the concept hasn't garnered significant interest from Schwab clients, the company is considering a thorough evaluation of the opportunity. Wurster emphasized that Schwab's potential involvement would focus on long-term wealth-building rather than areas like sports, politics, or pop culture, which are not aligned with the company's goals. He highlighted the poor success rates of gamblers as a reason to avoid such markets. Prediction markets, including platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket, have seen a surge in activity, with a record monthly trading volume of $23.6 billion in March, as reported by Token Terminal. However, these platforms have faced scrutiny from U.S. state regulators for allegedly offering unlicensed sports betting. Federal lawmakers have also criticized them for insufficient measures against insider trading. Meanwhile, Citadel Securities President Jim Esposito, speaking at a Semafor conference in Washington, D.C., indicated that the company is monitoring developments in prediction markets. Although Citadel is not currently involved due to liquidity concerns, Esposito acknowledged the potential for market growth and expressed interest in event contracts as a risk management tool for retail and institutional clients. He noted that contracts related to elections could serve as a hedge against investment risks, providing a strategic advantage for investors. Esposito emphasized the importance of having a clear method to manage certain risks, suggesting a viable industrial logic for such contracts.

On April 19, the Wall Street Journal reported that U.S. President Donald Trump appears to have lost his 'adventurous spirit,' with his fears increasing daily. According to BlockBeats, Trump was informed in the nearly empty West Wing of the White House that a U.S. fighter jet had been shot down in Iran, with two pilots missing. He reportedly spent hours expressing frustration to his aides, repeatedly stating, 'The Europeans haven't helped at all.' People familiar with his thoughts revealed that images of the 1979 Iran hostage crisis lingered in his mind. After the American pilots were rescued, the confident president took a bold step to weaken Iran's strongest leverage—control over the Strait of Hormuz. Trump tweeted, 'Open the strait, you lunatics.' Known for his dramatic flair, the president applied his unconventional and extreme approach to the conflict in an even more radical manner. He alternated between aggressive postures and conciliatory strategies, while privately contemplating the potential escalation of the situation. He feared ordering troops into dangerous areas, which could result in injuries and prevent some from returning home, a concern shared by other presidents who have experienced war.

The Wall Street Journal reports that US President Trump seems to have lost his "adventure spirit," while his fears are growing. Previously, in the nearly empty West Wing of the White House, shortly after learning that a US warplane had been shot down in Iran and two pilots were missing, Trump yelled at his aides for hours. He repeatedly said, "The Europeans didn't help at all." According to people who spoke with him, the images of the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis have been haunting him. After the US pilots were rescued, the arrogant president went all in again, attempting to weaken Iran's most powerful bargaining chip—control of the Strait of Hormuz. At the time, Trump tweeted, "Open the Strait, you lunatics." This president, who has always been keen on creating dramatic scenes, applied his unorthodox and extreme style to a war in an even more extreme way. He sometimes adopts a belligerent stance, sometimes a conciliatory strategy, but at the same time, he is agonizing behind the scenes about how far the situation could escalate. He feared that ordering troops into dangerous areas would result in injuries and prevent some from returning home, a situation similar to that of other presidents who had experienced war. (Jin Shi)

On April 19, data from the Aave platform indicated a significant increase in the annual percentage yield (APY) for USDT borrowing, reaching 14.99%, while the deposit APY surged to 13.39%. According to BlockBeats, this spike in rates is linked to a security incident involving KelpDAO. The hacker used Aave to collateralize illegally minted rsETH and borrowed a substantial amount of ETH. In response to this breach, over $54 billion in assets were urgently withdrawn from Aave as a precautionary measure. This mass withdrawal of funds is believed to have contributed to the sharp rise in USDT borrowing and deposit rates on the platform.
