Odaily Planet Daily News sato released a new version of the mechanism document, which further explains the Curve operation logic. The document shows that sato's Bonding Curve is not a completely symmetrical exchange system, and users use different pricing logic for mint and burn, and the burn price will be structurally lower than the mint price due to amendments. According to the document, sato officially defines Curve as "issuance system + final repurchase pool" rather than a fully redeemed backing system. Curve is mainly responsible for issuing tokens in the early stage, but after external liquidity matures, it transforms into a "buyer of last resort", providing on-chain buyback functions when liquidity in the secondary market is insufficient. Previously, some developers in the community pointed out that there was a state misalignment between ethCum and totalMintedFair within sato Hook, causing users to "buy at high curve and sell at low curve".

Inflation expectations for the next 12 months rose slightly, but inflation expectations for the next three or five years remained unchanged compared to the March survey, indicating that consumers believe the price shock from the war will be temporary.

Odaily Planet Daily News CZ said in a podcast conversation with Cathie Wood that "Wall Street and crypto should essentially be the same industry." He pointed out that Binance's current approximately 320 million users are driving strong demand for high-quality real-world assets (RWAs), and tokenization is accelerating the entry of assets such as gold, crude oil and stocks into the on-chain market. The tokenization trend is making traditional assets more accessible to crypto-native investors, while geopolitical volatility is also making the "24-hour global market" the new normal in the financial system. In addition, traditional financial institutions were the strongest skeptics in the crypto industry in 2015, but now they have gradually shifted to participate in construction and infrastructure layout, and industry boundaries are rapidly converging.

ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, Aave Labs will rewrite the asset listing and collateral risk control rules, add a review of compatibility, network security, and underlying architecture in addition to the existing price and volatility assessment, and issue minimum standard guidelines for asset issuers. This move stemmed from the attack on KelpDAO's cross-chain bridge in April, where hackers minted approximately $293 million in unendorsed rsETH and lent real wETH on Aave, causing hundreds of millions of dollars in bad debts to the protocol. Aave will also shift from a single-pool perspective to studying systemic correlations between different DeFi protocols to reduce cross-protocol risks and call on other DeFi projects to follow similar standards.

Odaily Planet Daily News Ethena officially released an arbitrage analysis on the gold token (PAXG, XAUT) perpetual contract market on X. Data shows that over the past twelve months, PAXG's annualized funding rate has been 5.8% and XAUT's has been 12.4%, both well above the average for BTC and ETH over the same period (5.2% and 4.1%, respectively). The daily volatility of the gold funding rate is higher than that of cryptocurrencies, which is due to the lower trading volume in the market, but the gold funding rate is positive 82% to 89% of the time, which is largely in line with BTC (88%) and ETH (85%). In addition to this, Ethena also said that the funding rates of gold and cryptocurrencies are almost unrelated, and when the funding rates of cryptocurrencies are compressed, the funding rates of gold tend to remain stable or rise. Therefore, including gold perpetual contracts in the futures and spot arbitrage portfolio (holding both spot and equal short orders) will increase the level of return and reduce yield volatility.

Odaily Planet Daily News Lido released the latest progress on the Kelp security incident, stating that the Snapshot vote on the EarnETH first loss protection mechanism below the 1% threshold has reached the quorum and has been approved, and the EarnETH user losses will be fully covered by the Lido Earn first loss mechanism. The rsETH held by the attacker has been liquidated, and the associated stETH has been transferred to the DeFi United bailout program. In addition, the EarnETH vault is expected to reopen shortly after the Kelp protocol resumes operation, allowing users to deposit and withdraw operations normally.

Currently, EarnETH users only need to wait for the short unfreezing process to complete, and they can receive compensation according to the first loss protection mechanism after the funds are restored.

Max Layton, head of global commodity research at Citigroup, said oil prices will continue to fluctuate wildly until it becomes clear whether Iran and Trump can reach an agreement. "It's hard to predict whether Iran will reach a deal, and in an environment where you don't know if there will be a deal, the market is bound to be news-driven and volatile in a way that fluctuates wildly." Crude oil fell for the third straight session on Thursday, and Layton said the decline stemmed in part from "the market's hope that the two sides can start negotiating an agreement." However, the pressure on the physical crude oil market in the Middle East still exists. Traders said a shipment delay at a key crude oil loading terminal in Oman, located outside the Strait of Hormuz, in April, disrupted shipping plans and could delay delivery to buyers. Layton said the global physical crude oil market has accumulated about 700 million to 800 million barrels of "considerable buffer stocks" over the past 12 months, and "we are rapidly depleting those stocks," he said, but the effects will "gradually be felt over a longer period of time." He added that before actually lowering his oil price forecast, he needs to see if Iran is ready to seriously reach an agreement with the United States. Last month, Citi raised its benchmark price forecast for Brent crude oil by $15 to $110 per barrel after the second round of U.S.-Iran peace talks failed, and postponed the benchmark expectation for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz from mid-to-late April to the end of May.
