Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan stated that Turkey could consider participating in mine clearance operations in the Strait of Hormuz following a potential peace agreement between Iran and the United States. It is expected that after a US-Iran deal is reached, a technical team will carry out mine clearance work in the strait.

Odaily reports that SpaceX confidentially submitted its S-1 filing to the U.S. SEC earlier this month, planning an IPO at a valuation of approximately $1.75 trillion, with a fundraising target of up to $75 billion. If it goes public in June as expected, it would surpass Saudi Aramco's 2019 record of $29 billion raised, becoming the largest IPO in history. Meanwhile, OpenAI and Anthropic are also planning to go public in the second half of this year, with the three companies expected to attract a combined total of over $240 billion in capital.

Market analysts believe these mega-IPOs could significantly drain liquidity from risk assets, and the crypto market shares the same capital pool. As major crypto assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum have shown high correlation with Nasdaq and U.S. equity risk appetite in recent years, a massive shift of funds toward subscribing to these tech giant IPOs could weaken buying support for BTC, ETH, and altcoins. Analysts point out that Coinbase's listing day in 2021 coincided with a local top for Bitcoin, and SpaceX's IPO could once again mark a major liquidity turning point for the crypto market.

Odaily reported that Bitcoin developer Paul Sztorc has announced the official launch of the Bitcoin hard fork network eCash in August this year. BTC holders will be able to exchange BTC for eCash at a 1:1 ratio after the hard fork goes live. It is reported that the Layer1 node software of the network will be a "near copy" of the Bitcoin Core client, continuing to use the SHA-256 hashing algorithm, with a reduced initial mining difficulty to attract more miners to participate. Additionally, eCash will be equipped with seven Layer2 scaling networks called "drivechains" to increase transaction throughput and support optional on-chain privacy features.

Paul Sztorc stated that eCash differs from Bitcoin Cash in 2017, as it will no longer use the "Bitcoin" branding, positioning it as a long-term solution to Bitcoin's scalability and privacy issues. However, his proposal to manually redistribute a portion of Satoshi Nakamoto's approximately 1.1 million BTC to early investors has sparked strong controversy within the community. Some Bitcoin supporters criticize the move as potentially constituting "theft" and undermining Bitcoin's principles. (Cointelegraph)

According to Odaily, Chen Boliang, a former senior manager of Huobi Group, was accused of using a pseudonym to open a personal account on the platform, illegally conducting "dark pool trading" of cryptocurrencies without price or quantity restrictions, and allegedly transferring approximately 4.999 million USDT (about 39.18 million HKD) from the account to his accounts on OKX and Binance. He faced seven charges, including dishonestly obtaining access to a computer and money laundering. After deliberation, the Hong Kong High Court jury ruled on April 24 that all charges against him were not proven. The prosecution alleged that in 2020, he used the identity "Chen Feng" to complete real-name authentication and used this account to conduct dark pool trades with company accounts. However, the jury ultimately did not adopt the relevant accusations, and the court also approved the defendant's application for legal costs. (HK01)
