🚀 Oil Prices May Rise as U.S.-Iran Talks Fail, Says Saxo Bank Strategist

Saxo Bank's Chief Investment Strategist, Charu Chanana, has commented on the recent failure of U.S.-Iran negotiations, describing it as a setback. According to Jin10, this development suggests that previous easing trades might dissipate, potentially leading to a rise in oil prices and a renewed impact on risk sentiment. The Strait of Hormuz remains a significant chokepoint risk, even if it is not completely closed.

Chanana noted that the substantial differences in positions between the two parties on nuclear safeguards and the Strait of Hormuz issues make this outcome unsurprising. For the U.S. dollar, this situation could mean a resurgence of safe-haven support, although a full-scale surge is unlikely unless there is a new military escalation.

Gold might benefit from renewed geopolitical hedging demand, but the market is not expected to revert to the worst-case inflation shock scenario.

🚀 STOCKS | Citic Securities Predicts A-Share Market Recovery Amid Improved Conditions

On April 12, Jin10 reported that Citic Securities released a research note indicating a recovery trend in the A-share market this week. According to Jin10, this improvement is attributed to enhanced market risk appetite, liquidity, and fundamentals. Looking ahead, while the pace of growth may slow, the market is expected to continue its upward trajectory in the short term, with medium-term risks posed by sustained high oil prices. April is anticipated to see a return to fundamentals, with a focus on first-quarter reports and identifying promising industries. Industry allocation should center on sectors with high first-quarter prosperity, marginal fundamental improvements, and those benefiting from policy, low allocation levels, and seasonal demand. Key sectors to watch include resources (gold, energy metals, aluminum, minor metals), AI (optical communication, fiberglass, gas turbines), lithium batteries (battery and lithium materials), oil transportation, chemical raw materials, brokerage firms, coal, general equipment, infrastructure construction, and service consumption.

🚀 Bitcoin's Current Market Correction Appears Milder Than Previous Cycles

On April 12, crypto analyst Axel Adler Jr commented on the current Bitcoin market correction. According to BlockBeats, Adler noted that this correction seems significantly milder compared to the bear markets of the 2017-18 and 2021-22 cycles. However, he cautioned that the current level of correction is insufficient to confirm a market bottom.

In previous cycles, the maximum drawdowns were -54% for 2021-22, -64% for 2017-18, and -43% for 2013-15. The current market dynamics suggest a mild bear market, not yet reaching a deep capitulation phase, making it premature to confirm a bottom or a true market recovery. The analyst emphasized that the current situation is more of a pause in the bear market rather than a reversal of trends.

🚀 Former CEO Targeted in Violent Home Robbery for Cryptocurrency Keys

Former BCB Group CEO and current Greater Things CEO, Oliver von Landsberg-Sadie, and his family were victims of a knife-point robbery at their home in Maidenhead, Berkshire, on April 2. According to Foresight News, four assailants tied up the family and demanded cryptocurrency wallet keys.

Oliver von Landsberg-Sadie reported that the robbers were specifically targeting cryptocurrency assets, showing no interest in the Aston Martin parked in the driveway. As he did not possess any cryptocurrency, the thieves ultimately stole cash, silverware, and jewelry. Thames Valley Police are currently investigating the incident.

Following the robbery, Oliver issued a warning to founders, CEOs, and public figures in the cryptocurrency industry, urging them to be vigilant against organized and targeted crimes and to enhance personal security measures.

🚀 Tether-Linked PAC Makes Initial Expenditure Ahead of 2026 U.S. Midterm Elections

A political action committee associated with Tether, Fellowship PAC, has made its first expenditure ahead of the 2026 U.S. Congressional midterm elections. According to Odaily, the PAC paid approximately $300,000 to Nxum Group, a company co-founded by Bo Hines, to provide advertising services for Republican candidates.

Bo Hines currently serves as the head of Tether's U.S. operations and previously worked as a digital asset policy advisor in U.S. President Donald Trump's administration. Jesse Spiro, the chairman of Fellowship PAC, is also affiliated with Tether US.

Public records indicate that Nxum Group was established by Bo Hines and his partners. This transaction coincides with the PAC's initial expenditure report submission to the U.S. Federal Election Commission (FEC). Although Fellowship PAC has announced plans to invest up to $100 million in support of crypto-friendly candidates, its current account disclosures show nearly zero funds.

Under U.S. campaign finance regulations, political committees can pay affiliated entities for services, provided they adhere to the "fair market price" principle. This has sparked discussions about potential conflicts of interest.

Fellowship PAC has begun targeted advertising and candidate support in Republican elections, positioning itself as a new political influence tool for the crypto industry in the 2026 election cycle. However, questions remain regarding the transparency of its funding sources and operations.

🚀 Geopolitical Tensions Prompt Shift to Stablecoins in Commodity Trade

Western banks are accelerating their withdrawal from commodity trade financing due to compliance and sanction risks linked to escalating geopolitical tensions in Iran. According to Odaily, this has led traders to turn to stablecoins for cross-border settlements. Banks are concerned that seemingly compliant transactions might indirectly expose them to sanctioned entities, prompting a reduction or exit from trade financing in affected regions. As traditional financial payment and settlement channels tighten, stablecoins, particularly USDT pegged to the dollar, are increasingly used as alternative settlement tools in emerging market trade payments. Data indicates that the market capitalization of stablecoins has surpassed $300 billion, with on-chain transaction volumes exceeding $4 trillion, accounting for approximately 30% of overall on-chain activity.
