Decentralized Finance Enters a New Regulatory Narrative: The “No Broker Needed” Future
The global financial ecosystem is rapidly shifting toward a model where intermediaries are no longer essential. The trend highlighted under reflects a growing discussion around how decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols are challenging traditional brokerage systems by enabling direct peer-to-peer financial interactions on blockchain networks. Instead of relying on centralized brokers, exchanges, or custodial intermediaries, users increasingly interact through sm

The United States upgrades military cooperation with Indonesia
The US and Indonesia have agreed to elevate their relationship to a Major Defense Cooperation Partnership — “Major Defense Cooperation Partnership” (MDCP), which is the third level of cooperation equal to India, Singapore, and Vietnam.
Looking at the position, perhaps Trump has not hidden his main goal at all.
Note that the US and the Philippines have long been military allies, with many US military bases stationed on the archipelago.

Yesterday, I shorted ETH at 2190, added to my long position at 2180 in a reverse manner. Honestly, I even think this move is pretty wild.

Does BTC still have a final dip? The US stock market S&P 500 index is only 2% away from a new high? I'm really worried that the war could end at any time, and Trump might cut interest rates early for the midterm elections, which would mean missing the chance to buy at 40,000.
Right-side trading is just waiting on the inevitable path of the market. Currently, MA120 = 77,393, STH-RP = 78,615, which is about 4% of space. If it breaks above, don't hesitate, I will go long immediately.

CRCL surges 9%—Legislative tailwinds ignite the crypto sector
USDC issuer Circle Internet Group (CRCL US) saw its stock jump 12.09% in a single day on April 13, closing at $98.68, with trading volume significantly expanding to about 13.57 million shares. The direct catalyst behind the stock breakout was the reopening of the CLARITY Act legislative window after the Senate ended its two-week Easter recess and fully resumed its agenda.
As the issuer of the world’s second-largest stablecoin, USDC, Circle’s business highly depends on regulatory clarity. The market broadly expects that after the CLA

Is it another fleeting moment? - Analysis of the BLESS Price Surge
Last night, RAVE experienced high-level fluctuations, with funds flowing out, and BLESS followed suit, surging this morning to a high of $0.37482, a 300% increase within the range, then sharply falling back. Notably, from the daily chart, previous price rallies of BLESS also showed sudden spikes followed by quick drops, resembling a “flash in the pan” pattern. Will this time be the same? How are BLESS’s fundamentals? Is it a good time to buy the dip? Let’s take a look!

【$EVA Signal】Pullback to buy, 1H level charging up for launch
$EVA 1H level rally and pullback, price repeatedly tests around 0.87. The upper band of the 4H Bollinger Bands at 0.8935 acts as short-term resistance, but the MACD fast and slow lines remain above the zero line, indicating the medium-term trend is still intact. The 1H EMA20 (0.8226) and EMA50 (0.7527) form a support zone below, with buy order depth imbalance at -19.8%, and sell pressure relatively concentrated. The current risk-reward ratio is acceptable, but a clearer stabilization signal from the price is needed.
