PANews reported on May 1st that Robert Hackett, head of special projects at a16z Crypto, wrote that the term "stablecoin" is gradually losing its relevance. Stablecoins originated during a period of high volatility in the crypto market, thus emphasizing "stability." However, with technological evolution, stability has become fundamental, evolving into a global financial infrastructure. The crypto industry's focus has shifted from "whether it's stable" to "what else can be built upon it." Stability has become a basic requirement rather than innovation itself. Therefore, the name "stablecoin" is more like a patch for old problems than a definition of a new financial system. In the future, the concept of stablecoins may eventually fade into broader terms such as "digital dollar" or "on-chain asset," or even be completely integrated into the underlying financial system, just as "electric light bulb" replaced "electric lighting."

PANews reported on May 1st that US Treasury Secretary Bessenter posted on the X platform, stating that rats in the sewers have little idea what's happening in the outside world. Here are some "realistic scenarios" for the Iranian leadership—after all, they are indeed in the dark of information isolation: 1. The US has complete control of the Strait of Hormuz. 2. There is a shortage of hard currency (i.e., US dollars). 3. Food and gasoline are rationed. 4. The entire international community has turned against you. 5. The blockade will continue until freedom of navigation as it was before February 27th is restored.

PANews reported on May 1st that, according to The Block, the U.S. crypto market structure bill is gaining momentum in the Senate Banking Committee, with lawmakers aiming for a hearing in mid-May. However, several controversies remain unresolved, including how to handle stablecoin yields, ethics clauses, and how to address President Trump's crypto interests. Senator Thom Tillis has asked Committee Chairman Tim Scott to advance the hearing, but stated he will oppose it if the bill does not include ethics clauses. Senator Angela Alsobrooks emphasized that illicit finance and ethical issues must be addressed to secure bipartisan approval. Senator John Kennedy currently does not support crypto legislation due to the housing bill controversy. Committee Chairman Scott stated that the bill has entered the "red zone" and hopes for bipartisan consideration in May, followed by a Senate vote in June or July. However, industry insiders estimate the bill's chances of passing to be only 15% to 25%, while Galaxy estimated it at 50% last week. Furthermore, the Trump family's cryptocurrency interests have raised ethical concerns. Bloomberg estimates that Trump has profited at least $1.4 billion from his cryptocurrency projects, including DeFi and stablecoin project World Liberty Financial. The Trump family also holds a 20% stake in mining company American Bitcoin.
