According to Jinshi reports, Goldman Sachs analysts pointed out in a report that the Federal Reserve is expected to maintain the federal funds rate unchanged at this week's meeting. The impact of this decision will depend on how Federal Reserve Chairman Waller explains this decision and the future policy path.Analysts stated that if the Federal Reserve fails to provide sufficient economic outlook or policy response guidance, it may lead to volatility risks for the currently stable long-term U.S. Treasury yield curve and inflation risk premium. Currently, the money market pricing shows a 31.5% probability of a rate hike by the Federal Reserve this week, but the mainstream market expectation remains that interest rates will stay unchanged.

Bitget appeared as a sponsor at the WikiFX exhibition. Bitget CFD Chief Analyst Lewis Huang delivered a speech titled "One Account, Invest Globally: The Cross-Asset Trading Revolution in the UEX Era," pointing out the core pain points faced by active traders today: "Opportunities are global, but capital is fragmented."In response to this situation, Bitget proposed the concept of the panoramic exchange UEX. Lewis Huang stated that what traders need is not more apps, but a highly integrated trading ecosystem. Relying on the Bitget UEX architecture and cross-asset margin mechanism, users only need one account, one KYC verification, and a unified capital pool to configure diverse assets such as cryptocurrencies, U.S. stocks, foreign exchange, precious metals, and global indices. This helps traders quickly seize opportunities when macro trends arise, achieving a global, cross-asset one-stop layout.

Gate recently released a detailed verification statement regarding the security item changes and fund loss incident reported by customer 9****6. After an internal review, the platform confirmed that the applicant submitted materials highly matching the customer's account, including Email, phone number, real-name information, transaction records, and Alipay screen recordings. The platform pointed out that the Alipay screen recording required access to the customer's Alipay account and successfully passed multiple identity verifications, indicating that the applicant not only possessed account information but also obtained the customer's external real-name information, Alipay account, and device permissions in advance.The platform emphasized that its security unbinding review implements a four-fold verification process of "multi-channel advance notification + system risk control preliminary screening + manual multi-layer review + time protection." After notifying the customer through dual channels, the application was processed only after waiting two days without objections, and a 24-hour withdrawal prohibition protection was imposed after modification. Upon investigation, there were no information leakage logs within the platform, and some sensitive identity information provided by the applicant was external information previously unknown to the platform.Regarding fund recovery, the platform has sorted out the flow of funds and collaborated with multiple departments to conduct on-chain analysis and asset tracking, currently coordinating with third parties like Tether to advance the freezing process, and will cooperate with judicial investigations in the future. The platform advises customers to conduct comprehensive security reinforcement on their devices and expresses regret that the customer did not contact the platform within the three-day notification period.

The U.S. Treasury Department has sent a letter to Binance, requesting compliance explanations regarding recent reports involving cryptocurrency transactions related to Iran and to strengthen regulatory cooperation.It is reported that this move comes amid ongoing scrutiny by U.S. regulators over cross-border capital flows on cryptocurrency platforms. Previous investigations and media reports have pointed to the possibility that Iran and related entities may be transferring funds through centralized exchanges, drawing the attention of the U.S. Treasury and Justice Departments.

CoW Swap tweeted that it has regained control of the cow.fi domain and has been operating normally on cow.finance for some time, and is currently gradually transitioning back to the original domain.The official statement indicated that the attacker deceived the DNS registrar with forged documents on April 14 to gain control of the cow.fi domain; the attacker deployed a highly realistic phishing website, implementing it in two phases: first, inducing users to sign malicious transactions through a wallet stealer, and then stealing mnemonic phrases and passwords through fake wallet pop-ups; this attack targeted the domain registrar and did not involve a breach of CoW Swap's own infrastructure or private keys. Affected users should use tools like Revoke.cash to revoke all authorizations and consider transferring funds to a new wallet.

The Ethereum Foundation today released a systematic explanation regarding the evolution of the roles of L1 and L2. The core point indicates that as the ecosystem matures, the primary goal of L2 has shifted from "scaling Ethereum" to "providing differentiated functions, customized services, and autonomous controllable areas," while scaling has become a secondary focus.The Foundation has redefined the roles of L1 and L2 as follows:· L1: As a permissionless, highly resilient global settlement layer, it undertakes the functions of shared state, liquidity, and DeFi hub, and must continue to scale while maintaining censorship resistance, open source, privacy, and security.· L2: While developing its own on-chain economy, it will extend Ethereum's core attributes to a broader user base, forming a "full-spectrum" ecosystem.The Foundation clarifies that L2s with the highest integration with L1 should pursue synchronous composability, complete interoperability, shared liquidity, and Stage 2 mechanisms. A large number of L2s with diverse business models and technical expertise will continue to play an important role, providing functionalities that L1 does not possess.The Ethereum Foundation stated that it will continue to invest in technology to help L2 smoothly extend L1's core attributes and securely access cross-layer liquidity, while emphasizing that L2 must maintain transparency and verifiability of its security attributes.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on the X platform that Ethereum's scalability is divided into short-term and long-term parts.In the short term, the Glamsterdam upgrade will introduce block-level access lists for parallel validation, ePBS will allow a larger proportion of time slots for block validation, and gas repricing will ensure that operational costs align with actual execution time.The multi-dimensional gas mechanism will be implemented in phases, starting with Glamsterdam, where the "state creation" cost will be separated from the "execution and calldata" cost, with state creation gas not counted towards the approximately 16 million transaction gas limit. The EVM level will introduce a "reservoir" dimension mechanism, which will prioritize the consumption of dedicated dimension gas by default, and when insufficient, will draw from the reservoir. This will eventually transition to multi-dimensional pricing, where different dimensions may have different floating gas prices.Long-term scalability includes ZK-EVM and blob components. In terms of blobs, there are plans to continuously iterate PeerDAS, aiming to achieve approximately 8MB of data processing capacity per second, with future Ethereum block data directly entering blobs.The ZK-EVM aspect will be implemented in phases: by 2026, there will be a validator client supporting ZK-EVM, allowing about 5% of the network to rely on it; by 2027, this will expand to a larger proportion of a few nodes while advancing formal verification; once conditions are mature, it will transition to a five-out-of-three mandatory proof mechanism, ultimately continuously enhancing the security and formal verification level of ZK-EVM, and involving changes to VMs such as RISC-V.

Cobo co-founder and CEO Shen Yu shared investment insights on platform X: "The biggest structural advantage of individual investors over institutions is not information or capital, but rather 'no one needs to be accountable.'Funds are often constrained by institutional requirements from LPs, drawdown limits, and quarterly assessments, which can force them to cut losses at the worst possible times; whereas individual investors can take advantage of volatility and extend their time horizons to acquire chips that are passively sold off due to institutional constraints at market bottoms, thus generating profits."
