#特朗普税改 Trump posted on Truth: "When tariffs are reduced, many people's income taxes will be significantly lowered, and may even be completely eliminated. The focus will be on those with an annual income of less than 200,000. Additionally, a large number of job opportunities have already been created, and new factories are currently being built or planned. This will be America's bonanza!! Foreign income services are happening!!!" Trump also stated, ... this is a crucial week for formulating the 'ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL Bill' which will include massive tax cuts, strong border security measures, significant military advances, substantial deregulation, robust spending reforms, and more!"

As a long-term sustainable core module in the B² ecosystem, BUZZ Farming provides another efficient way to participate in $B2 mining. Users can stake BTC assets on the HIVE page to not only continuously earn $B2 rewards but also simultaneously participate in the BUZZ Farming event (i.e., BUZZ Phase III), bringing additional incentives to their holdings.

In this round of airdrops, all users who generate $B2 rewards through BUZZ Farming before the snapshot on April 18, 2025, will have their rewards released on the TGE day, as a return to every partner who continuously participates in ecosystem construction.

As of April 2025, the lawsuit between Ripple and the SEC has basically come to a close. The U.S. Court of Appeals has approved both parties' request to suspend the SEC's appeal process regarding the 2023 ruling, clearly indicating that both sides have reached an agreement. Ripple's legal team revealed that the SEC has decided not to appeal, officially accepting the judge's previous ruling that XRP's circulation on exchanges does not constitute a securities offering.

According to the terms of the agreement, Ripple will pay a $50 million fine (which has previously been held in escrow by a third party), but does not admit to any wrongdoing or illegal activity. This outcome not only marks the end of the case but also represents a significant victory for Ripple in its long-term struggle.

#特朗普暂停新关税 BlockBeats news, on April 26, Trump stated in a recent interview regarding tariffs that negotiations could be completed within the next three to four weeks. He emphasized that he would bring this ample knowledge and lead the negotiation process himself. Additionally, the latest semi-annual survey results from the Federal Reserve show that 73% of surveyed officials listed global trade risks as a primary financial stability concern, doubling from November last year; 27% of respondents also expressed concerns about the operation of the U.S. Treasury market. Bitunix analysts suggest: Trump's optimistic stance on the negotiation process has led to capital inflow into the crypto market, but given the uncertainties in policies and economic outlook, investors still need to manage risks cautiously, with short-term attention on whether it can hold the $94,000 support and adjust positions flexibly.

Since its establishment, Ethereum has been experiencing one of its most unstable periods. The base layer usage has plummeted, core metrics are nearing multi-year lows, and even co-founder Vitalik Buterin has proposed a radical architectural reform plan.

Institutional investors have not been idle. Blockchain data shows that long-term supporters like Galaxy Digital and Paradigm have been reducing their ETH holdings in recent weeks.

Since April, Ethereum's base layer activity has continued to shrink. Network fees are declining, and inflation rates are rising. Although layer two networks continue to develop, they are encroaching on the value capture of the base layer.

However, this story is not entirely about the decline of Ethereum. Some major whales are viewing this downturn as a rare buying opportunity. Even those investors who are selling ETH cannot completely let go.

Ethereum expands through multiple L2 networks, each with its unique transaction processing speed and parameters. This approach may give Ethereum an infinite number of unique high-throughput chains, says Avail co-founder Anurag Arjun.

In an interview with Cointelegraph, Arjun acknowledged that Ethereum is fundamentally a different product from high-throughput competitors that adopt a monolithic architecture. However, Ethereum's choice to scale through numerous L2 solutions gives it an overlooked characteristic:

"The underappreciated beauty of this rollup-centric roadmap architecture is that it allows multiple teams to experiment with different execution environments and different block times."

This makes it possible for various high-throughput side chains to emerge, rather than just a single architecture appearing on any monolithic Layer-1, Arjun added. However, Arjun warned that switching between L2s will still be as complex as bridging assets between different blockchain ecosystems without true interoperability.

The perspective of the Avail co-founder contrasts with that of many critics of Ethereum's L2-centric scaling approach, who argue that the network's scaling solutions will lead to liquidity fragmentation and ultimately erode the underlying layer. Critics of Ethereum believe that L2s are one of the main reasons for Ethereum's poor price performance over the past year.

After 16 days of selling pressure, Ethereum's price has surpassed $1,700, with the selling pressure during this period stemming from macroeconomic uncertainty and a sharp decline in on-chain activity. Despite the rebound, Ethereum's performance still lags behind the overall altcoin market, with a year-to-date increase below the market average of 23%.

Some traders claim that Ethereum is poised for a 'generational' bull market by providing a 'truly decentralized' and permissionless financial system, but is that really the case?

Ethereum is one of the few major cryptocurrencies not to have set a new all-time high by 2025, unlike competitors such as Solana (SOL), Tron (TRX), and BNB.

Some critics argue that abandoning proof-of-work (PoW) mining has caused Ethereum to lose its former competitive edge against rivals.

The market value of Bitcoin is currently 1.69 trillion

The market value of Apple is currently 2.96 trillion

The market value of gold is currently 22.59 trillion

In the foreseeable future, Bitcoin easily surpassing Apple's global highest market value is really a piece of cake～

However, to stand shoulder to shoulder with gold and truly realize the phrase "digital gold" is quite challenging...

Even at the current market value comparison, occupying half of gold's market value would require over 500,000 dollars+

But in the long term, it is highly probable that Bitcoin will reach 200,000-300,000 dollars.

$TRUMP US Senator: TRUMP Coin may be the most blatant act of corruption by a US President in history. Odaily Planet Daily reports that Trump’s Mleme Coin TRUMP has announced that Trump will have dinner with the first 220 holders of this token. Chris Murphy, a Democratic Senator from Connecticut, criticized this event, stating on the X platform: "This not only reflects Trump's true colors, the TRUMP Coin scam may be the most blatant act of corruption ever committed by a President."

Consumer Rights Advocacy Organization Criticizes 'TRUMP Dinner' for Buying Influence Over the American President Odaily Star Daily News: Public citizen organization Craig Holman is not satisfied with the planned 'TRUMP Dinner' event. This organization is a consumer rights advocacy group aimed at limiting the influence of special interest groups in Washington. Craig Holman stated: 'This is about buying presidential influence, there are no ifs, ands, or buts. The sale of Trump meme coins contradicts what Trump said when he first entered politics, that he was very wealthy and could not be bought; we have never had a president who loves money as much as this one.'

#加密市场反弹 Opinion: The surge in Bitcoin open interest positions indicates investors' confidence in trade agreements and Powell. With the ongoing rebound in the cryptocurrency market, the open interest in Bitcoin perpetual futures has also seen a more significant increase, suggesting that investor confidence is strengthening, especially after the Trump administration has slowed its offensive on trade tariffs and anti-Federal Reserve rhetoric. This rebound occurred following U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's discussion on easing U.S.-China trade tensions, after which President Trump indicated that he would significantly reduce tariffs on Chinese goods from the current 245% to a much lower level. Trump also stated that he does not intend to remove Federal Reserve Chairman Powell from his position.
