A small number of oil tankers and cargo ships have passed through the Strait of Hormuz, according to multiple media reports. Reuters reported on April 5 that a tanker carrying Iraqi crude passed through the strait and is scheduled to unload at a Malaysian port in mid-April. Citing an anonymous source, the report added that Iran has allowed several ships linked to Malaysia to pass. This follows an earlier report from Al Jazeera that Iran would permit Iraq to use the strait without restrictions. Separately, the BBC reported on April 4 that a large container ship belonging to France's CMA CGM had also transited the waterway. Shipping analytics firm Kpler noted this was the first vessel from a major Western European shipping company to do so since the war between the U.S., Israel, and Iran began. Japan's Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) also announced that one of its LNG carriers had previously passed through the strait.

Analytics firm Santiment reported that the ratio of Bitcoin transactions in profit to those in loss reached 2.95:1 last weekend.

South Korea's National Intelligence Service (NIS) has reported to the National Assembly that the conflict between the U.S. and Iran is expected to enter a de-escalation phase by the end of April, depending on the extent of U.S. airstrikes. The assessment was disclosed on April 6 during a briefing by lawmakers Park Sun-won of the Democratic Party and Lee Sung-kwon of the People Power Party, who serve as secretaries for the Intelligence Committee, Kookje Shinmun reported. According to the NIS, the U.S. is struggling to convert its tactical military victories into a political surrender from Iran. Meanwhile, Iran is leveraging its control over energy supply chains but faces a strategic dilemma due to unsuccessful negotiations via Pakistan and is deliberating on how to respond to U.S. demands to abandon its nuclear program. The NIS concluded that the outcome of intensive U.S. airstrikes over the next three to four days will determine whether the conflict moves into a lull by the end of the month.

A Bloomberg Intelligence senior macro strategist has once again warned that Bitcoin could plummet to $10,000 if it fails to hold the $75,000 level, CoinDesk reported. Mike McGlone argued that BTC's price was around $10,000 before the massive quantitative easing of 2020-2021, a level he described as having the most concentrated trading volume since CME futures trading began in 2017. With the period of abundant liquidity now over, McGlone suggested BTC could return to this equilibrium price. He further contended that the explosive growth of the crypto market could be a hindrance to BTC. Unlike in the past when Bitcoin dominated the market, McGlone explained that millions of tokens now cause capital outflows. He also predicted that Tether's assets under management (AUM) will surpass those of ETH and BTC this year.

The United States and Iran are in discussions with regional mediators over a temporary 45-day ceasefire that could lead to an end to the war, Axios reported, citing four U.S., Israeli, and regional sources. The sources said a partial agreement within 48 hours is unlikely but added that this last-minute effort is the only chance to prevent a major escalation of the conflict. A 10-day deadline President Trump had imposed on Iran was scheduled to expire on the night of April 6. However, Trump announced on his social media platform, Truth Social, on April 5 that he was extending it by 20 hours. The new deadline is 12:00 a.m. UTC on April 8. Trump told Axios that the U.S. is in deep negotiations with Iran and that an agreement could be reached before the new deadline.

A U.S. Republican candidate has warned that the crypto market structure bill (CLARITY) could be effectively dead if not passed before the summer. John E. Deaton, a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in Massachusetts, told DL News that the upcoming midterm elections will likely consume the U.S. political agenda, leaving little bandwidth to discuss crypto regulation. He pointed out that if the election results are highly unfavorable for the Republican Party, the Democratic Party could gain control of not only the House but also the Senate. In that scenario, Senator Elizabeth Warren, known for her anti-crypto stance, would be the most likely candidate to chair the Senate Banking Committee, making the bill's passage nearly impossible, Deaton said.

Bithumb announced it will temporarily suspend Cardano (ADA) deposits and withdrawals at 5:00 a.m. UTC on April 8 due to a change in deposit addresses.
