Fed withdraws crypto supervision guidelines, empowering U.S. banks The Fed has announced the withdrawal of all guidance documents related to digital asset and dollar token activities for banks issued in 2022 and 2023. According to a press release on April 25, the Federal Reserve (Fed) stated that it has officially canceled two guidance documents issued in 2022 and 2023.
Among them, the 2022 supervisory letter required member banks to notify the Fed in advance if they wanted to participate in activities related to digital assets. The 2023 letter set forth a pre-approval process for banks intending to engage in activities related to dollar tokens. Now, both have been withdrawn. Instead of continuing to require banks to seek prior permission for each crypto-related activity, the Fed stated it will transition to a supervision model through standard processes similar to those applied to traditional financial activities. This new approach is expected to reduce the burden of administrative procedures while providing more flexibility for banks to experiment with blockchain, stablecoins, and new applications on Web3. The Fed affirmed: "These changes are intended to align regulatory expectations with evolving risks, while also fostering innovation in the banking sector." It can be observed that the Fed is gradually changing its approach instead of maintaining a cautious stance requiring banks to report before engaging in digital asset activities; now, the Fed will switch to normal supervision.

ZKsync successfully recovered 5 million USD in stolen ZK tokens 🔥🔥🔥
The attacker returned 5 million USD in stolen ZK tokens through a vulnerability in ZKsync's airdrop contract.
The ZKsync ecosystem unexpectedly faced a serious attack on April 15th. The hacker infiltrated the governance wallet and took control of 111 million ZK tokens, worth about 5 million USD at that time.
Fortunately, the attack only exploited a vulnerability in the airdrop distribution contract, without affecting the ZK token contract, core infrastructure, or user assets. Specifically, the hacker seized the “abandoned” tokens, meaning the amount of tokens that users had not yet claimed from the first airdrop in June 2024. After that, he converted about 3.5 million USD into Ethereum (ETH). Immediately following the security incident, ZKsync chose not to pursue legal action but proposed a soft yet effective solution. Within 72 hours of the incident, ZKsync sent an on-chain message to the attacker, proposing a “safe harbor” program: return 90% of the stolen assets to be pardoned and keep 10% as a bounty reward. The hacker agreed to this condition and returned the remaining tokens on time. As of early this morning (April 24th), ZKsync confirmed that the entire 5 million USD in ZK tokens had been successfully recovered. The community will vote on how to distribute this asset. Although the project has recovered the stolen assets, this incident still left a significant impact. The supply of ZK tokens was temporarily inflated, causing minor disruptions in the market. The price of ZK tokens did not react positively and even dropped nearly 4% after the recovery announcement. #Zksync #BTC
AI Agents and Web3 are no longer just a technology integration, but are gradually evolving into a symbiotic relationship. AI helps simplify complex processes in Web3 and improve accessibility, while Web3 provides the necessary infrastructure for AI to operate autonomously. Although speculative hype has decreased, practical applications like DeFAI are proving that the combination of AI and Web3 is gradually becoming a reality. This convergence not only drives the growth of the Web3 ecosystem but also expands the range of AI applications. New economic models and services created from the combination of these two technologies will open up diverse opportunities in the future.#AImodel #BinanceHODLerSIGN
$ETH Ethereum (ETH) Ethereum has recorded an impressive increase of 12% this week, bringing the price close to a crucial resistance level of 1,800 USD. Since then, ETH has entered a slight correction; however, buying pressure remains positive, indicating the potential to break through resistance and move towards the 2,000 USD mark. This is the first time since December that this cryptocurrency has shown clear signs of a reversal. However, buying volume needs to continue to reach higher levels to confidently enter a new bullish phase. Looking ahead, the optimistic sentiment is returning to the market, and Ethereum has a real opportunity to halt the downtrend. To enter a sustainable bullish phase, the price of ETH must rise above 2,000 USD, which would allow the largest altcoin to recover some losses from previous months.
#EthereumFuture EthereumFuture #EthereumFuture EthereumFuture #EthereumFuture ETF spot Ethereum: The market is waiting for approval signals from the SEC, creating bullish expectations. US monetary policy: High interest rates keep capital cautious. On-chain: The amount of ETH being staked continues to increase, reducing short-term selling pressure.
#BTCvsMarkets Currently, Bitcoin (BTC) is demonstrating strong dominance in the cryptocurrency market, with a market capitalization ratio (BTC Dominance – BTC.D) reaching approximately 61.81%. This is the highest level since March 2021, indicating BTC's superiority over other altcoins. Meanwhile, the global cryptocurrency market capitalization has surged, showing that capital is flowing into the market, particularly into altcoins. Although BTC.D is at a high level, the growth of market capitalization may be a sign of an altcoin season, when altcoins begin to attract attention and experience significant growth. However, it is important to note that BTC's dominance can impact investment decisions. When BTC.D rises, there is often a tendency for the value of altcoins to decrease, and vice versa. Therefore, monitoring the BTC.D index can help investors make appropriate strategic decisions.

How Initia Works According to the project team, the model of Initia follows a modular blockchain approach, including the following main components: Layer 1 Blockchain - Initia: The foundational network layer, providing infrastructure, security, and liquidity for the entire Initia ecosystem and the layer 2 - Minitia. At the same time, Initia also acts as the Consensus layer for the entire Initia ecosystem. Layer 2 Blockchain - Minitia: This is the layer 2 network layer built on Initia, tasked with increasing transaction speed and throughput for Initia. Additionally, Minitia is highly compatible with various virtual machines, from MoveVM, WasmVM to EVM. OPinit Stack: This is a toolkit that allows developers to easily build layer 2 solutions on Initia. The standout feature of the OPinit Stack toolkit is that the Initia team combines the scalability of CosmosSDK with the off-chain Optimistic Rollup solution.

JUST IN 🔥: Trump urges the Fed to cut interest rates: “Inflation has cooled down, we cannot let the economy slow down” President Donald Trump once again publicly pressured the Federal Reserve (Fed), demanding that the agency quickly cut interest rates. He argued that inflation is no longer a major concern as energy and food prices are on a sharp decline, while warning that maintaining high interest rates would hinder economic growth. Trump also compared the Fed to the European Central Bank – which has cut interest rates 7 times – as a veiled criticism of the Fed’s delays. Specifically targeting Chairman Jerome Powell, he called him “Mr. Too Late” and accused him of political bias by lowering interest rates at a time that benefited Joe Biden’s campaign, followed by Kamala Harris. #DonaldTrump #Fed#TrumpVsPowell #BinanceSquareTalks
