Odaily According to Caixin News, the one-month public consultation on the draft "Financial Law of the People's Republic of China" concluded today (April 19). This is the first overarching law in China, and indeed globally, to be named after finance. The expansion of "quasi-judicial powers" granted to financial regulators under the draft is a topic of high market concern. According to the design of Article 55 and related provisions, financial regulatory authorities, when investigating financial violations, have the right to access and copy property rights information, communication records, and transaction records of relevant entities and individuals. If there is evidence suggesting the transfer or concealment of illegal funds or securities, they can directly freeze or seize them. Furthermore, they can even decide that parties suspected of violations cannot leave the country during the investigation period.

Additionally, Zeng Gang, Chief Expert and Director of the Shanghai Finance and Development Laboratory, believes that the "Financial Law" should also strengthen its focus on and coverage of emerging financial formats. Issues such as AI-driven financial decision-making, the legal status of digital currencies, and the regulatory boundaries for crypto assets, which have sparked widespread debate globally, are minimally addressed in the draft. How to maintain a dynamic balance between regulation according to law and inclusive innovation remains an unresolved question left by the legislation.

Odaily News Yili Hua posted on the X platform, stating that preserving capital in a bear market is crucial. On-chain theft incidents are frequent; pursuing a few percentage points of return can result in losing the principal, similar to most investment mistakes made in the past. As long as it's an investment, there is risk, even if the money is held on an exchange or used in yield farming. Our top principle now is to have clear profit-taking and stop-loss strategies. You must always consider how to respond if the worst-case scenario occurs. Otherwise, the biggest regret would be the bull market arriving while the principal is gone. Investment requires optimism, but risk control must be rigorous.

Odaily News Trump posted on a social media platform, stating that Iran decided to open fire in the Strait of Hormuz yesterday, which is a complete violation of our ceasefire agreement! Multiple shots were aimed at a French vessel and a British cargo ship. That's not very friendly, is it? My representatives will go to Islamabad, Pakistan, and they will arrive there tomorrow night for negotiations. Iran recently announced it would close the strait, which is strange because our blockade has already closed it. They are unknowingly helping us, and closing the shipping lane will only harm themselves, costing them $500 million a day! $500 million a day! We are offering a very fair and reasonable agreement, and I hope they accept it because if they don't, the United States will destroy every power plant and every bridge in Iran. The days of being nice are over! They will collapse soon, easily collapse. If they do not accept the agreement, I will be honored to do what must be done. (Jin10)
