The month-long public consultation on the "Financial Law (Draft) of the People's Republic of China" ended today (April 19), making it the first comprehensive law in the world to focus on finance. The expansion of the financial regulatory "quasi-judicial power" is a topic of high concern within the market. According to Article 55 and related clauses, financial management departments are authorized to review and copy the property rights information, communication records, and transaction records of relevant entities and individuals when investigating financial violations; if there is evidence suggesting the transfer or concealment of illegal funds and securities, they can be frozen or sealed directly; and can even prevent parties suspected of violations from leaving the country during the investigation period.

People and Voices
Yili Hua posted on X platform stating that preserving principal in a bear market is important, as on-chain theft incidents are frequent. In pursuit of a few points of profit, one might lose their entire capital, akin to many investment mistakes made in the past. As long as there is investment, there is risk, even if the money is held in exchanges or during financial mining. Our primary principle now is to always have take-profit and stop-loss measures, and one must always consider how to respond in the worst-case scenario. Otherwise, it is most regrettable when the bull market arrives, and the principal is gone. Investment should be optimistic, and risk control must be rigorous.
vitalik.eth: The eth.limo Domain Registrar has Been Attacked
vitalik.eth posted on X platform indicating that @eth_limo personnel warned that their eth.limo domain registrar has been attacked, advising not to visit http://vitalik.eth.limo or other http://eth.limo pages until normal operations are confirmed. His blog can be accessed directly via IPFS.
0xSun stated that news-driven trading remains one of the most cost-effective strategies in the current crypto market, with its core lying in the directional momentum and volatility brought by events. They reviewed several recent events, including ETH abnormal trading, Arc fee adjustments, TAO ecological changes, RAVE-related investigations, and KelpDAO security incidents, which all triggered significant price fluctuations in a short time. They believe that engaging in such opportunities relies on the speed of information acquisition or the ability to judge the impact of events.
Additionally, they stated that as the recent altcoin market cools down, they have resumed a long position on BTC while hedging against shorts on some altcoin assets, believing that under the conditions of weak liquidity and some narratives fading away, the overall performance of altcoins may be under pressure.
Spark Protocol's strategic director monetsupply.eth posted on X platform stating that as liquidity in the stablecoin market begins tightening, the current rsETH security incident may be entering a more dangerous phase. Approximately 16.5% of the ETH market is supported by rsETH, and if related losses are averaged out in the mainnet and cross-chain environments, rsETH collateral loans under eMode may face a 10%-15% discount. Additionally, with risk buffers exhausted, ETH depositors might still bear 2%-3% of remaining losses. Under this expectation, ETH providers tend to exit as soon as possible, leading to market utilization locked at 100%, while borrowing rates are insufficient to incentivize positions like wstETH and weETH to actively deleverage and release liquidity. At the same time, since ETH cannot be withdrawn, users borrowing stablecoins like USDT using ETH as collateral also find it difficult to liquidate in a timely manner. Even if stablecoin lending rates rise, the original market incentive mechanisms have been disrupted.
