ChainCatcher, according to Cointelegraph, United States President Trump, after criticizing the forecast market only a few days, showed a marked softening of his attitude. He said, "I know some very smart people who like to predict the market. Many others are doing this, and if we do not, others will isolate us.”

Sky proposal to simplify treasury management from governance-driven to rule-based expenditure
ChainCatcher, Sky proposes a comprehensive reform of the Treasury's revenue distribution mechanism. The founder, Rune Christensen, wrote that, with the transfer of Genesis Capital to Grove, Sky had officially completed the capitalization phase of the creation, with the previously irregular, governance-driven capital deployment having ended。
The proposal streamlines the treasury management function (TMF) from a five-step condition waterfall structure to a four-step fixed distribution structure, covering security and maintenance, general reserve capital, smart destruction engines and USDS pledge incentives, and removes a number of legacy mechanisms. At the time of Sky's rapid expansion, the supply of USDS had climbed to about $11.6 billion, making it the third most stable currency. The Sky community had previously authorized the deployment of up to $2.5 billion through the Stable Currency Incubator Obex and launched the original USDS on Avalanche in April。
ChainCatcher NewsOpenAI has fallen short of expectations for many of its recent internal growth goals, and CFO Sarah Friar warns that if the growth rate of the company does not keep pace, the company will either have to face up to some $60 billion in calculator purchasing commitments in the future or the board will look at the expansion plan for the data centre。
It was reported that the growth of ChatGPT users, collection targets and subscription retention were under pressure. Although OpenAI recently completed $12.2 billion in financing, corporate management is still discussing the long-term capital expenditure and IPO rhythm. OpenAI denies that there are major internal differences。
ChainCatcher reports that Peter Thiel, Chief Executive Officer of the Encrypted Mine Marra, announced the establishment of the Mara Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to the long-term health, resilience and adoption of the Bitcoin agreement. The Foundation will support the development of antiquant tools (e.g. PQ wallets and BIP 360 proposals), considering that quantum calculations are not an immediate threat of bitcoin, but network upgrades take time and advance preparation is essential。
The Foundation will also invest resources to secure the security budget of Bitcoin, support the development of a sound and healthy Bitcoin transaction cost market, develop a global multilingual education programme, expand access to self-custody tools and advocate for policymakers and activists。
Kalshi completes the first big customised transaction with liquidity provided by Jump
ChainCatcher NewsKalshi CEO Tarek Mansour quoted Bloomberg as saying that Kalshi had completed the first customised big deal (block trade), in which Jump Trading provided liquidity support. The deal was brokered this month on behalf of an environmental hedge fund based in Houston that wanted to obtain a contract to track whether a particular price would be realized in a carbon quota auction in California in May。
In this regard, Mansour indicated that the institutional application of the forecast market could be a $10-15 trillion market with a greater potential for growth, depending on the extent to which they have universal access to products that are now unique to Wall Street。
ChainCatcher, according to The Block, Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the White House Presidential Advisory Committee on Digital Assets, announced at the Bitcoin 2026 Congress that a major announcement would be made over the next few weeks on Trump's strategic bitcoin reserves. Witt stated that since Trump signed an executive order last year to establish a strategic bitcoin reserve, the team had been studying mechanisms and legal interpretations to ensure that digital assets (especially bitcoin) on the Government ' s balance sheet were properly protected and consolidated。
At the same time, legislators are promoting the legislativeization of the administrative actions of Trump. Senator Cynthia Lummis and Congressman Nick Begich's reformulation of the BITCOIN Bill has been renamed the United States Reserve Modernization Act, which includes the acquisition of 1 million bitcoins within five years through a “budget strategy”。

a16z Cripto: Stable currency is rebuilding global financial infrastructure
The financial system is being rebuilt on new infrastructure at a faster rate than most people outside the encryption industry are aware of。
The currency of stability is a catalyst for change. They have evolved from mini-trading tools to bottom-up infrastructure and are becoming the backbone of a new generation of global financial products。
The accompanying market map presents our views on this transition. Specific firms may change and categories may evolve in a vague manner, but more important is the structure itself: how the new reservoir of global finance is being formed, where it matures, and what gaps remain。
Crypto's group is becoming the least
the hong kong block chain week in april, i was most impressed not by which panel, but by a picture。
AT ABOUT 10:00 P.M., IN A TEAHOUSE IN WANCHAI, FOUR OR FIVE PEOPLE WERE CROWDED ON A TABLE, EATING DRIED CATTLE AND TALKING ABOUT WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO NEXT. ONE OF HIS FRIENDS, WHO HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN A STABLE CURRENCY PAYER, SAID THAT THEIR TEAM HAD MOVED COMPLETELY TO AI; THE OTHER, WHO MADE THE DATA ON THE CHAIN, SAID THAT HE WAS NOW WORKING HALF THE EFFORT TO BUILD A DATA PIPELINE FOR AI。
No one talks about currency, no one talks about narratives, not even the word Web3 is very much used。
I didn't feel surprised. It was a strange feeling of familiarity. These guys sat at the same table three years ago, talking about DeFi, NFT, chain trip. They are the same people, the same excitement, the same whole-hearted commitment。
From a sealed economist to the chief of the new fire: Fowler played the second half
ON 20 APRIL 2026, THE HONG KONG STOCK MARKETS NEW FIRE GROUP (1611.HK) ISSUED AN ANNOUNCEMENT ANNOUNCING THAT THE FORMER CHIEF ECONOMIST OF NORTHEAST SECURITIES WOULD FORMALLY JOIN THE UNION AND ASSUME THE POST OF CHIEF ECONOMIST。
As soon as the news came out, the price of the new fire had risen by a maximum of 22 per cent and nearly 18 per cent that day。
A FEW DAYS LATER, PENG WAS ON FIRE ON X. HIS TWEETS TRIGGERED A DEBATE AMONG A LARGE NUMBER OF ENCRYPTED ORIGINAL USERS, AND THE COMMUNITY'S MOOD WAS FURTHER AMPLIFIED BY BLOCKING MULTIPLE KOLS, ACCUSING HIM, SUPPORTING HIM, ANALYSING HIM, PUSHING AROUND FOR DAYS。
