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.

A 50-page report commissioned by Coinbase argues that while current quantum computers are insufficient to break the encryption technologies of networks like Bitcoin and Ethereum, fault-tolerant large-scale quantum computers will eventually be built, and the crypto industry must begin preparing now. The report, authored by an independent advisory committee including cryptographers and academics such as Dan Boneh of Stanford University, Justin Drake of the Ethereum Foundation, and Sreeram Kannan of Eigen Labs, states that the estimated timeframe for quantum computers to break current encryption standards ranges from several years to over a decade. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recommends migrating to quantum-resistant cryptography by 2035, a timeline the report considers potentially optimistic. Quantum-resistant cryptography already exists and is being standardized, but post-quantum digital signatures can be tens to hundreds of times larger than existing signatures, potentially increasing block size by 38 times and posing challenges such as wallet migration. The Ethereum Foundation has proposed quantum-resistant digital signature schemes, and companies like Solana are experimenting with quantum-resistant wallet designs. The report recommends flexible transition strategies, such as hybrid systems, to avoid sacrificing current security while preparing for future upgrades.

According to Jin10, Wash emphasized his commitment to maintaining independence in monetary policy decisions during his nomination hearing.

Fed Chair nominee Walsh has expressed concerns about the accuracy of data used to assess inflation. According to Jin10, Walsh highlighted that the current metrics may not fully capture the complexities of inflationary trends. This statement comes amid ongoing debates about the Federal Reserve's approach to managing inflation and interest rates. Walsh's comments suggest a need for more comprehensive tools to evaluate economic conditions accurately. The nominee's perspective could influence future policy decisions as the Fed continues to navigate economic challenges.

U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a warning to companies that choose not to pursue refunds on duties paid following a Supreme Court decision that invalidated a significant portion of his tariffs. Bloomberg posted on X, highlighting Trump's remarks as a reminder to businesses about the potential financial implications of their decisions regarding tariff refunds. The Supreme Court's ruling has opened the door for companies to reclaim duties paid under the now-invalidated tariffs, but Trump's comments suggest that he will be keeping track of those who opt not to take advantage of this opportunity. The decision by the Supreme Court marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing trade policy discussions, with businesses now weighing their options in light of the ruling.
