BlockBeats News, April 2nd, according to The New York Times, U.S. officials revealed that multiple U.S. intelligence agencies recently assessed that the Iranian government is currently unwilling to engage in substantive negotiations to end the U.S.-Israel war. Officials stated that the assessment indicates the Iranian government believes it holds a strong position in the war and does not need to yield to U.S. diplomatic demands.They noted that although Iran is willing to keep communication channels open, the country distrusts the United States and believes President Trump is not sincere in negotiations. Over the past year, Trump twice ordered attacks on Iran during negotiations over its nuclear program. These assessments align with recent statements from Iranian officials.U.S. and Iranian officials said the two countries are exchanging messages through intermediary nations, and possibly also through direct channels, but have not engaged in negotiations on the conditions for a ceasefire or ending the war.

BlockBeats News, April 1st, Federal Reserve Governor Michael Barr stated that stablecoin development must be built upon strict regulation, warning that without effective constraints, it could repeat the 'long history of issues with private currency.' In his remarks, Barr pointed out that although the 'GENIUS Stablecoin Act' has provided an initial regulatory framework for the industry, the key lies in subsequent implementation, including continuous monitoring of reserve assets and mechanisms to prevent illegal use.He emphasized that stablecoins can only truly be considered 'stable' if they maintain stable redemption at par value under various market conditions. In times of market stress or increased issuer risks, the liquidity and security of reserve assets are particularly crucial.Furthermore, Barr noted that stablecoin issuers have incentives to generate profits by increasing yields, which may drive them to take higher risks in managing reserve assets, thereby posing potential threats to financial stability.
