Analyst: U.S. Treasury Quarterly Refinancing Announcement to Remain Stable
Pepperstone senior research strategist Michael Brown noted in a report that the U.S. Treasury's quarterly refinancing announcement on Wednesday will be the market focus this week, but the likelihood of significant policy adjustments is low. He stated, "It seems unlikely that the Treasury will announce major adjustments," as recent market volatility has further reinforced the position that policymakers should not take actions that could disrupt the market. He added, "Therefore, the market's focus may be on whether there will be slight adjustments to the guidance on maintaining auction sizes 'at least for the next few quarters.'"

Ethereum Foundation Executive Director Tomasz K. Stańczak issued an important clarification regarding the EOF controversy, stating that while there is significant debate surrounding EOF, there is a key misunderstanding that needs to be clarified: the current discussions on EOF are unrelated to the upcoming Pectra upgrade set to be released on May 7. The Pectra upgrade does not include EOF and does not intend to include EOF. Everything related to Pectra will be released as scheduled on May 7. Previously, CoinDesk reported that Ethereum's "EVM Object Format (EOF)" improvement proposal had been incorporated into the Pectra hard fork, which is expected to be executed later this year or early next year. The EOF proposal will make a series of smaller changes to upgrade the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). EOF will make smart contracts more developer-friendly, especially for users building decentralized applications using the Solidity or Vyper programming languages, but it may disrupt existing smart contracts. Developers added a new version that allows DApp builders to choose which version of the EVM to use when deploying code.

Regulatory Trends
Coinbase is urging the U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE) to revoke the regulation that prohibits employees of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) from holding crypto assets. Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal stated in an open letter sent to OGE Acting Director Jamieson Greer and newly appointed SEC Chair Paul Atkins on April 25 that SEC staff need to use cryptocurrencies in practice to better understand how they work and how to regulate them effectively. Grewal wrote to Jamieson Greer: "To regulate a technology, one must first understand it; to understand the technology, one must use it in practice. Allowing SEC staff to hold crypto assets is key to acquiring the necessary knowledge to develop a viable regulatory framework for digital securities."
The legal advisory 22-04 issued by OGE on July 4, 2022, prohibits SEC staff from buying, selling, or otherwise using cryptocurrencies and stablecoins.
Supported by the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), the Unchained Summit attracted top institutions such as Bitwise and Franklin Templeton, becoming a high-profile event in the Web3 field.

Gu Ronghui has repeatedly pointed out, "Compliance is the necessary path for Web3 to move towards the mainstream. Only through collaboration can we achieve a win-win situation for innovation and security." He called for ensuring the robust growth of the Web3 ecosystem through the synergy of technology and regulation.
Voices from the Industry
Matrixport: New Capital Inflows May Lead Bitcoin to Break $100,000
Matrixport released a chart today stating that liquidity in the crypto market has improved recently, with new capital starting to flow into the market, indicating a positive change in the overall environment. After two months of sideways consolidation and slight increases, we are beginning to see initial positive signs of conversion from fiat to cryptocurrencies.
If this trend continues, it should not be difficult for Bitcoin to break the $100,000 mark. Although we are still in the early stages, the surge in capital inflows in October and November last year also drove the previous strong rebound.
Given the current signs of capital recovery, traders should closely monitor relevant data.
Coinshares: Bitcoin Hashrate Expected to Break 1 Zettahash per Second by July
According to Coinshares' latest report, the Bitcoin network hashrate is expected to break the historic threshold of 1 Zettahash per second (ZH/s) as early as July this year, significantly ahead of previous predictions. This data confirms the strong growth momentum and risk resistance of the Bitcoin mining network. The report predicts that the Bitcoin hashrate will exceed 1.28 ZH/s by the end of 2025 and may reach 2.0 ZH/s by early 2027. The key indicator of miner profitability—the hashrate price—has seen a slight rebound this year, but it is predicted to enter a long-term structural downtrend. The report expects that before the Bitcoin halving cycle in 2028, the hashrate price will fluctuate in the range of $35-50 per PH per day and will fall below $40 in the first quarter of 2026. This trend reflects the dual pressure of improved mining machine efficiency and intensified industry competition.
IntoTheBlock stated that there was a significant increase in Bitcoin short-term trader holdings last week, indicating a resurgence in speculative demand. If this capital inflow continues, it suggests that the current rise is not just a technical rebound but may be the beginning of a broader upward trend.
