Iran has reopened the Strait of Hormuz under a two-week ceasefire, requiring tankers to pay a $1-per-barrel toll in Bitcoin for passage. According to NS3.AI, Hamid Hosseini stated that the system now processes 10 to 15 vessels daily, a significant decrease from the 135 vessels before the conflict. TRM Labs reported that since mid-March, Iran's military has collected up to $2 million per ship in Bitcoin, Chinese yuan, and potentially USDT.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has called on Congress to approve the Clarity Act, highlighting the growing significance of stablecoin transactions. According to NS3.AI, a report by Chainalysis projects that stablecoin transaction volume could escalate to $1.5 quadrillion by 2035, up from $28 trillion last year. The likelihood of the bill passing this year has increased, with Polymarket odds rising to nearly 70% from 50% earlier this week. Senate Banking Committee members are reportedly preparing to hold a hearing to vote on the bill before the month's end.

受伊朗相关地缘冲突升级影响，西方银行因合规与制裁风险担忧，正加速撤出部分大宗商品贸易融资业务，导致交易商被“去银行化”，并开始转向稳定币进行跨境结算，因为银行担心看似合规的交易可能间接暴露于受制裁实体，因此选择直接收缩甚至退出相关区域的贸易融资敞口，使得传统金融支付与结算通道持续收紧，稳定币（尤其是与美元挂钩的 USDT）正成为替代性结算工具，在新兴市场贸易支付中使用频率上升，数据显示稳定币市值已超过 3000 亿美元，链上交易量超过 4 万亿美元，占整体链上活动约 30%。（CoinDesk）

Fellowship, a super PAC reportedly associated with Tether, has revealed a $300,000 advertising expenditure to Nxum Group, a company co-founded by Tether US CEO Bo Hines. According to NS3.AI, the Federal Election Commission filing indicates that the spending was in support of Georgia Republican Clay Fuller. Despite this significant expenditure, Fellowship's current federal disclosures continue to show its accounts at zero, even after a prior announcement that it would be established with pledges totaling $100 million.

StarkWare researcher Avihu Mordechai Levy has introduced a Bitcoin transaction scheme that aims to circumvent the need for a protocol change. According to NS3.AI, the proposed method involves solving a pre-broadcast puzzle, which would necessitate approximately 70 trillion attempts. Levy characterized this design as a last-resort solution due to its significant computational demands, large transaction size, and potential relay-policy challenges, all of which could hinder scalability.

U.S. President Donald Trump has announced directives for the U.S. Navy to search and seize any vessels that have paid transit fees to Iran in international waters. According to Odaily, the President also stated that the Navy will begin destroying mines laid by Iran in the strait. He warned that any Iranian forces firing upon U.S. or peaceful vessels will face severe retaliation.

A political action committee associated with Tether, Fellowship PAC, has made its first expenditure ahead of the 2026 U.S. Congressional midterm elections. According to Odaily, the PAC paid approximately $300,000 to Nxum Group, a company co-founded by Bo Hines, to provide advertising services for Republican candidates. Bo Hines currently serves as the head of Tether's U.S. operations and previously worked as a digital asset policy advisor in U.S. President Donald Trump's administration. Jesse Spiro, the chairman of Fellowship PAC, is also affiliated with Tether US. Public records indicate that Nxum Group was established by Bo Hines and his partners. This transaction coincides with the PAC's initial expenditure report submission to the U.S. Federal Election Commission (FEC). Although Fellowship PAC has announced plans to invest up to $100 million in support of crypto-friendly candidates, its current account disclosures show nearly zero funds. Under U.S. campaign finance regulations, political committees can pay affiliated entities for services, provided they adhere to the "fair market price" principle. This has sparked discussions about potential conflicts of interest. Fellowship PAC has begun targeted advertising and candidate support in Republican elections, positioning itself as a new political influence tool for the crypto industry in the 2026 election cycle. However, questions remain regarding the transparency of its funding sources and operations.

Former BCB Group CEO and current Greater Things CEO, Oliver von Landsberg-Sadie, and his family were victims of a knife-point robbery at their home in Maidenhead, Berkshire, on April 2. According to Foresight News, four assailants tied up the family and demanded cryptocurrency wallet keys. Oliver von Landsberg-Sadie reported that the robbers were specifically targeting cryptocurrency assets, showing no interest in the Aston Martin parked in the driveway. As he did not possess any cryptocurrency, the thieves ultimately stole cash, silverware, and jewelry. Thames Valley Police are currently investigating the incident. Following the robbery, Oliver issued a warning to founders, CEOs, and public figures in the cryptocurrency industry, urging them to be vigilant against organized and targeted crimes and to enhance personal security measures.

据披露文件显示，与 Tether 相关的超级政治行动委员会 Fellowship PAC 在 2026 年美国国会中期选举前完成首笔支出，向由 Bo Hines 联合创立的公司 Nxum Group 支付约 30 万美元，用于为共和党候选人提供广告服务。Bo Hines 目前担任 Tether 美国业务负责人，此前曾在特朗普政府担任数字资产政策顾问。Fellowship PAC 的主席 Jesse Spiro 同样来自 Tether US。公开资料显示，Nxum Group 由 Bo Hines 及其合伙人共同创立，此次交易发生在该 PAC 首次向美国联邦选举委员会（FEC）提交支出记录之际。该 PAC 此前宣称将投入高达 1 亿美元支持加密友好候选人，但当前账户披露资金仍接近为零。根据美国竞选财务规则，政治委员会向关联方支付服务费用并不违法，但需符合“公平市场价格”原则，引发外界对潜在利益冲突的讨论。与此同时，Fellowship PAC 已开始在共和党选举中进行定向广告与候选人支持，被认为是加密行业在 2026 年选举周期中新的政治影响力工具之一，但其资金来源与实际运作透明度仍受到质疑。（CoinDesk）
