Flare (FLR), an XRP-based DeFi ecosystem, has proposed a governance change to identify Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) at the protocol level and lower annual FLR inflation from 5% to 3%, CoinDesk reported.

If the proposal passes, the changes would take effect immediately. These include reducing the annual FLR issuance cap from five billion to three billion and increasing the base gas fee 20-fold from 60 gwei to 1,200 gwei. This fee hike is expected to increase the annual amount of FLR burned from approximately 7.5 million to 300 million.

A judge is expected to rule within a few weeks on a request for acquittal filed by Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm, DL News reported. While Storm was convicted last year on charges of conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business, the jury could not reach a verdict on charges of conspiracy to commit money laundering and sanctions evasion. The defense team argues that the prosecution failed to prove its case, emphasizing that operating a cryptocurrency mixer is legal in itself. In contrast, the prosecution maintains that the evidence it presented at trial is valid. If the judge sides with the prosecution, a retrial could be held later this year.

The recent price surge in Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) has been driven by an increase in perpetual futures long positions and rising demand from the U.S., according to an analysis by CryptoQuant senior analyst Julio Moreno, as reported by The Block. In the 24 hours following the announcement of a U.S.-Iran ceasefire on April 7, open interest in BTC and ETH perpetual futures rose by $2.1 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively, reaching a one-month high. Moreno suggested this rally was not merely the result of short position liquidations but was fueled by traders actively opening new long positions. Furthermore, the market buy-sell ratio for both BTC and ETH surpassed one, indicating a dominance of buying pressure. The Coinbase Premium Index, a reflection of U.S. demand, also turned positive for both assets. The analyst concluded that as long as the ceasefire holds, demand from the U.S. will continue to support higher prices.

Binance founder Zhao Changpeng (CZ) said he expects cryptocurrency to become as commonplace as the internet within five years. Speaking in an interview with Scott Melker, host of The Wolf Of All Streets, Zhao expressed his hope that crypto will be widely used as it becomes integrated into daily life, even as new use cases and developments continue to emerge. He predicted that blockchain technology will also be applied to other fields such as data storage, and that artificial intelligence will significantly accelerate development and coding speeds, with AI agents becoming major users of cryptocurrency. Zhao added that the internet, blockchain, and AI are the key industries of today, warning that any country failing to embrace one of them would face a serious disadvantage.

An analysis suggests that XRP's structure is safer from quantum computing threats than Bitcoin's, CoinDesk reported. The vulnerability lies in the exposure of public keys during fund transfers, which could theoretically allow a quantum computer to derive the private key and steal assets. An estimated 2.3 million to 7.8 million Bitcoin, or 11% to 37% of the total circulating supply, are considered "quantum vulnerable" due to their public keys being directly exposed. Furthermore, securing these funds requires moving them to a new address, a process that briefly exposes the public key and creates an opportunity for a quantum attack. In contrast, only about 21 million XRP, or 0.03% of the circulating supply, have exposed public keys. The analysis also noted that the XRP Ledger (XRPL) allows an account's signing key to be replaced without moving the underlying funds, making it relatively more secure against this type of threat.

Decentralized satellite internet project SpaceCoin (SPACE) announced the official launch of SpaceRouter today, a tool designed to give AI agents unblocked access across websites. According to the announcement, SpaceRouter is a home IP-based proxy infrastructure developed to overcome the limitations of existing systems, where AI traffic from data centers is often restricted. The system makes AI agent web access appear similar to that of a regular user. Developers can integrate SpaceRouter using languages like Python and JavaScript within their preferred frameworks, including Claude and OpenAI. SpaceCoin stated that the launch is part of its expansion of the satellite-based decentralized internet ecosystem. The project added that staking for SpaceRouter currently offers a 10% APR, and users can earn rewards by operating a home node and participating directly in the network.

A staggering 90% of altcoins newly listed on major centralized exchanges (CEX) have dropped below their initial listing price within one year, BeInCrypto reported. According to a CoinGecko report, only 32% of altcoins newly listed on the top 12 CEXs saw their prices rise immediately after their debut. Over time, the proportion of tokens trading in profitable territory decreased across all exchanges. On the South Korean exchange Upbit, for instance, 67% of new tokens maintained an upward trend after 30 days, but after 300 days, every single altcoin was trading below its listing price. The outlet suggested this indicates that initial price surges are often temporary spikes driven by hype and limited circulation, rather than by sustainable demand.

The Japanese government's cabinet on April 10 approved an amendment to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act that officially defines cryptocurrency as a "financial product," Nikkei reported. This move shifts cryptocurrencies from their previous classification as a means of payment under the Payment Services Act, bringing them into the formal regulatory fold. The change will introduce new regulations, including a ban on insider trading using non-public information and a requirement for issuers to make annual disclosures. Consequently, the official title for related businesses will change from "crypto-asset exchange operators" to "crypto-asset dealers." Investor protection measures will also be significantly strengthened. Penalties for operating an unregistered business will be increased to up to 10 years in prison or a fine of between over 3 million yen and 10 million yen. Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama emphasized that the amendment aims to ensure market fairness and transparency. If the bill passes the Diet, it is expected to take effect as early as 2027.
