On April 7, Chaos Labs announced that it will cease its role as a core participant in the Aave ecosystem after three years of operation.

· Aave V4 expands the scope of risk management, increasing operational and legal burdens.
· Long-term participation was operating at a loss, and even with increased budgets, profitability remains di

On April 6, Tom Lee, co-founder of Fundstrat, stated that since the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East, Ethereum has become the second most valuable asset, while Bitcoin has taken third place.

At the same time, the impact of rising energy prices on consumers is relatively limited — each $10 increase in oil prices corresponds to about $4 billion to $5 billion in monthly consumption.

According to Golden Ten Data as of April 6, Sky Links Capital CEO Daniel Takiyedin noted that as expectations of the U.S. Federal Reserve's rate cuts weaken, the potential for gold to rise may be limited. Strong US labor market indicators support US bond yields and put pressure on gold.

Nevertheless, geopolitical risks outside the Middle East, as well as continued gold purchases by central banks of various countries, continu

This situation may not only lead to higher energy costs but also trigger profound changes in the structure of global supply chains.
