Fed Decision – April 2026

• The Fed held rates steady for a third straight meeting, but the tone of the statement shifted noticeably.

• For the first time since 1992, four members dissented. Three of them opposed keeping the “tilt toward easing” language, signaling resistance to market expectations of rate cuts.

• Inflation wording was upgraded from “somewhat elevated” to simply “elevated,” reflecting increased concern.

• The Fed also explicitly highlighted Middle East tensions as a source of “very high uncertainty” and flagged rising energy prices as a risk.

LayerZero $ZRO has issued an apology after days of criticism over its slow response and lack of transparency regarding the infrastructure issue affecting KelpDAO.

However the apology may have come too late. Several major projects have already started migrating to Chainlink CCIP.

Current list includes:

• KelpDAO: around $1.5B TVL

• Solv Protocol: around $600M TVL

• re: around $200M TVL

In total nearly $2B in TVL is moving away from the LayerZero ecosystem.

Some major names still rely on LayerZero including Ethena’s USDe, EtherFi’s weETH and Tether’s USDT0.

The real question now is whether LayerZero can restore trust fast enough to keep these key partners from leaving too.

DOJ is now looking into a series of oil trades that look almost too perfectly timed.

According to reports, the DOJ and CFTC are probing at least four major short positions placed right before key geopolitical announcements linked to Iran and oil markets.

The pattern is what caught Wall Street’s attention:

Around $500M in bearish oil bets before Trump delayed strikes on Iran.

Nearly $1B short before a temporary ceasefire announcement.

About $760M placed shortly before Iran said the Strait of Hormuz was open again.

Another $430M short before the ceasefire extension.

In total, these trades involved more than $2.6B in positions betting on oil prices falling.

The big question now is simple: was this just a fund with an insanely sharp macro read, or did someone trade with access to information the market did not have yet?

For now, there is no public proof of insider trading and the traders behind the positions have not been identified. But the timing is so precise that regulators are clearly taking it seriously.

Online rumors have already started pointing fingers, but no verified evidence has linked any named individual to the trades. This is still an investigation, not a conclusion.

🔥 North Korean hackers are finding new ways to infiltrate crypto projects

The Lazarus Group has reportedly been using Git Hooks to hide malware in campaigns targeting Crypto and DeFi developers.

Their tactic is simple but dangerous:

🖤 They fake a job interview process and ask candidates to clone a code repo for a test task.

🖤 Inside the repo, a hidden pre-commit script can trigger a second-stage loader, which may steal crypto assets, login credentials, or browser data.

So be careful with “recruitment test” tasks. One cloned repo can be enough to expose your device and even your personal wallet.

Zcash is back in the spotlight as the quantum-resistant narrative heats up.

The project has revealed plans to launch a quantum-resistant wallet within the next month. The idea is simple: if quantum computers ever become powerful enough to break today’s encryption, Zcash users would still have a safe path to move their funds into a stronger security standard.

The bigger roadmap is even more ambitious. Zcash wants the whole network to become quantum-resistant within the next 12 to 18 months, while also pushing transaction speed toward the level of Visa and Mastercard.

At Consensus Miami, CEO Josh Swihart said Bitcoin now fits more as an ETF asset and long-term store of value because its transparency is too high. Zcash, on the other hand, is leaning fully into private money and financial privacy.

$ZEC has already surged more than 110 percent in the past 30 days, helped by the return of privacy coin interest, Multicoin Capital openly accumulating a large $ZEC position, and new demand from Near Intents, which lets users swap BTC, SOL, or USDC directly into private ZEC.

Coinbase unexpectedly went down after an AWS infrastructure issue.

What happened:

🖤 An AWS data center in North Virginia reportedly faced overheating problems

🖤 Coinbase relies heavily on AWS infrastructure

🖤 As a result, users saw weaker performance, login issues, failed trades, and orders not going through

For now, Coinbase activity appears to be limited to “Cancel Only” mode, meaning users can cancel existing orders but cannot trade normally.

Germany may be preparing to end one of crypto’s biggest tax advantages.

Right now, crypto holders in Germany can sell tax-free if they hold for more than 12 months. But with the government facing a €98B budget gap, crypto gains are now becoming an easy target.

The proposed plan would treat crypto more like stocks and investment funds, applying a 25% tax on profits no matter how long the asset is held. Officials expect this could bring in around €2B in 2027.

The reaction has been harsh. Many in the crypto community argue this could simply push users toward non-EU exchanges instead of increasing tax revenue.

OKX CEO also pointed to Austria as a warning case. Austria removed a similar long-term crypto tax benefit in 2022, but according to him, the result was mostly more tax paperwork, not a meaningful boost in revenue.

Wall Street is quietly going deeper into crypto.

JPMorgan, BlackRock, Morgan Stanley, Citi and other major financial institutions are now hiring for more digital asset roles.

Some examples:

BlackRock: Director of Digital Assets — $194K to $270K per year

Citigroup: Head of Digital Asset Platform Engineering — $170K to $300K per year

Morgan Stanley: Digital Assets Transformation Lead — $175K to $265K per year

JPMorgan: Senior Software Engineer, Digital Assets — $171K to $260K per year

But there is one important detail.

These firms are not simply looking for “crypto people.” They still seem to prefer candidates with a strong traditional finance background. Crypto knowledge is a bonus, not the whole resume.

In other words, a banker who learns blockchain may have a better shot than a DeFi developer who has never worked inside the TradFi system.
