according to sources, Ukrainian President Zelensky has agreed to stop attacking Russian energy assets, which is the first step taken by US President Trump to end the three-year conflict. The source, who declined to be named, said that Zelensky conveyed this information to Trump in a call on Wednesday, adding that both sides agreed to further expand the ceasefire efforts. Trump also said the call was "very good" and that the discussions were "going as planned." The day before Zelensky spoke with Trump, Russian President Putin told Trump that as a first step, he was willing to limit attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, but did not agree to the US-led comprehensive ceasefire.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse tweeted that 75% of Ripple Labs' job vacancies are currently in the United States, and the company's transactions and partnerships in the US will exceed those of the previous six months after the November 2024 election.

Starknet ecosystem DeFi protocol Nostra Finance stated in a post that there were serious issues with the price feed information of xSTRK and sSTRK, causing their value to increase by about 3 times between blocks 1256310 and 1256360 on March 24th (for example, xSTRK rose from $0.1793 to $0.5897). This increase in price feed data could lead to unnecessarily liquidating originally secure positions. Without available backup oracles to support these assets, Nostra is unable to fully prevent similar events from happening.

Bitcoin's price movement has closely followed that of the US stock market, particularly the Nasdaq and S&P 500. With fund managers pulling out of US stocks at a historic rate, there are concerns about whether Bitcoin could be the next to suffer. The recent shift in sentiment reflects a decrease in confidence in the US economy and an increase in fears of a global recession, which could impact assets like Bitcoin due to their strong correlation with US stocks. The rise in cash allocations among investors also poses downside risks for Bitcoin and the broader crypto market, as highlighted in the latest survey by Bank of America. While some managers are still bullish on Bitcoin, others are worried about potential triggers for a global recession and inflation that could affect risky assets like Bitcoin. Despite the recent price decline, Bitcoin has historically recovered from corrections during long-term rallies, with its performance in the next six months likely dependent on the overall market conditions. Holding above the 50-week exponential moving average (EMA) could signal a potential recovery for Bitcoin, while breaking below this level could lead to further downside towards the 200-week EMA. This analysis does not provide investment advice, and readers are encouraged to conduct their own research before making any financial decisions.

the Federal Reserve will announce its interest rate decision later, with the market generally expecting it to remain unchanged. Before the announcement, major stock indices on Wall Street were rising. Currently, people are still worried about trade policy and its impact on the economy. Traders expect the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by at least 25 basis points twice before December, with the first cut expected in July. The focus will be on policymakers' new economic forecasts, which will help people understand how their policies on President Trump will affect economic growth, inflation, and unemployment. Chris Senyek, Chief Investment Strategist at Wolfe Research, said, "We believe that the likelihood of weakening job reports in the coming months is increasing, ultimately leading to a rate cut at the June meeting of the Federal Reserve. Combined with the highly uncertain tariff path, our conclusion is that the recent trend of the stock market will continue to decline."

Advocating for a crypto tax in the UK, Gordon believes it could shift investments towards local stocks and aid in economic growth. She highlighted the disparity between the high ownership of cryptocurrencies among the under-45 population in the UK and the lack of investment in traditional equities. Gordon's proposal includes reducing the stamp duty on shares listed on the London Stock Exchange to incentivize more people to invest in British businesses. She criticized cryptocurrencies as "non-productive assets" and emphasized the importance of equities in generating capital for businesses and supporting economic growth. Despite challenges facing the UK stock market, Gordon remains optimistic and believes that implementing crypto taxation could help revive the market and stimulate investment.

Bipartisan Policy Center in the United States stated that a model released on Monday showed that if Congress does not take action, the United States may hit the debt ceiling sometime between mid-July and October. The agency also mentioned that although the possibility is small, if this year's tax revenue is lower than expected, the so-called "X day" could arrive in early June. The U.S. Treasury Department has not predicted which day "X day" will occur, when the federal government will be unable to exercise its payment functions. Wall Street estimates that "X day" could arrive as early as the end of May (estimated by BNP Paribas), or as late as the end of August or the third quarter (predicted by institutions such as Bank of America, Barclays, and Daimler Securities).
