Iran Proposed a 5-Year Suspension of Nuclear Activities but Was Rejected by the US
Odaily News Negotiations between the US and Iran held in Islamabad encountered a major obstacle. US officials proposed that Iran halt uranium enrichment activities for 20 years. In a formal response on Monday, Iranian representatives indicated they were only willing to accept a suspension period not exceeding 5 years. The US President has rejected this proposal. Additionally, the US demanded that Iran transfer its stockpile of highly enriched uranium abroad, a request Iranian officials refused, insisting on keeping it within the country and proposing to render it unusable for nuclear weapons by significantly lowering the enrichment level. Both sides are currently considering continuing the dialogue, but no follow-up meeting has been scheduled.

Odaily News The Bank of Korea stated in its latest Payment and Settlement Report that it recommends introducing a “circuit breaker mechanism” similar to the stock market into the local تشفير market to address extreme price volatility risks.
The report pointed out that in February, Bithumb mistakenly transferred approximately 620,000 BTC (worth about $43 billion at the time) due to an operational error, causing the platform’s BTC/KRW trading pair to drop by about 15% briefly and resulting in user losses. The Bank of Korea believes this incident reflects that the crypto market still has تحديciencies in internal controls and supervision.
Furthermore, the central bank suggested that exchanges establish abnormal transaction detection and rapid suspension mechanisms and introduce relevant market protection measures in the upcoming “Digital Asset Basic Act.” (The Block)

Some funds were reportedly cross-chained into about $230 million USDC, sparking discussion on whether related assets should be frozen. Allaire pointed out that such operations involve a “moral dilemma,” but in the absence of legal basis, Circle will not proactively freeze related funds.
The incident had drawn criticism from industry insiders including on-chain analyst ZachXBT, who believed the platform should take more active fund control measures. (The Block)
Kraken Refuses to Comply with Ransom Demand: Affects About 2000 Accounts, Funds Remain Secure
Odaily News Cryptocurrency exchange Kraken stated it is being extorted by a criminal organization threatening to release videos of access to its internal systems. The company emphasized there was no systemic breach, customer funds remain safe, and it will not pay the ransom to the attackers.
Kraken disclosed that the incident originated from improper access by personnel related to its customer service team, occurring in two separate events involving limited data access to about 2000 accounts (approximately 0.02% of total users). It has identified the individuals involved and terminated their access, notified affected users, and strengthened security controls.
Kraken Chief Security Officer Nick Percoco stated the company is cooperating with law enforcement in the investigation and believes it has evidence to track and arrest the relevant individuals. Current attacks show a trend of “internal infiltration + social engineering,” reflecting the ongoing security challenges the crypto industry faces in a high-value asset and complex technological environment.

Regulatory Policy
White House Advisor Says Crypto Legislation Divergence Converging, Process Accelerating
Odaily News White House Digital Asset Advisor Patrick Witt stated that previously considered “difficult to resolve” divergences in crypto legislation have significantly narrowed, improving the prospects for advancing related bills.
As Congress reconvenes, key Senate committees are expected to vote on comprehensive crypto legislation, paving the way for subsequent legislative progress. The bill aims to clarify the regulatory division between the SEC and CFTC and establish a unified rule framework for exchanges and market participants.
The current point of contention remains stablecoin incentive mechanisms. While the passed stablecoin bill prohibits issuers from directly paying interest to users, disagreements persist on whether third-party platforms should be allowed to provide rewards.
Overall, the policy-making level is moving from “highly uncertain” to “gradually converging,” and the crypto industry regulatory framework is expected to enter a substantive advancement stage.
Odaily News The US Securities and تبادل Commission’s (SEC) Division of Trading and سوقs issued a staff statement providing guidance on whether certain user interfaces used to generate orders for crypto asset securities (Covered User Interface) need to register as brokers.
The statement points out that, under specific conditions, providers of such interfaces may not need to register as broker-dealers under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act. These conditions include: not actively soliciting specific trades, not providing investment advice, not controlling or executing trades, only generating orders based on objective parameters, and fully disclosing fee structures, potential conflicts of interest, and related risks to users.
The US SEC emphasized that such interfaces typically exist as websites, browser plugins, or wallet applications, used to convert user-defined trading parameters into executable on-chain orders, while also providing market data such as prices, routes, and fees.
Furthermore, the statement clarifies that this exemption does not apply to activities such as participating in trade matching, fund custody, order routing, or providing investment advice. The related guidance is an interim view and, unless further action is taken, will automatically expire five years from April 13, 2026.
The US SEC stated that this move aims to provide a clearer regulatory framework for activities related to crypto asset securities and will continue to solicit market feedback.
