On April 30, according to Fortune magazine, it's well-known that Musk's relationship with Sam Altman and OpenAI has soured. His testimony in the lawsuit against the AI company also shows that his stance on cryptocurrency has similarly cooled.
During the court session in Oakland on Wednesday, when asked to explain cryptocurrency, Musk stated, "Some of them are valuable, but most are scams." This comment was relayed by New York Times reporter Mike Isaac on social media.
This remark stemmed from a question about OpenAI's brief consideration of fundraising through an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) in 2018, when OpenAI was still a non-profit organization. The details of this ICO plan are part of Musk's ongoing legal disputes with OpenAI regarding the company's mission.
Musk is one of the co-founders of OpenAI (involved in its founding in 2015), and he accuses the company of violating its original founding agreement after striking an investment deal with Microsoft and starting to sell commercial products. In court, Musk claimed that OpenAI "misappropriated a charitable organization."
OpenAI responded by stating that Musk was always aware that the organization might eventually transition to a for-profit entity. The company mentioned in a blog post that Musk had supported OpenAI's plan to raise funds through an Initial Coin Offering (ICO), which itself involved setting up a for-profit subsidiary.

launched an online fundraising site, and so far they've pulled in 161M.
Took a peek at the chain, and there are a lot of 1u ETH transfers—could this be a play for a future airdrop? That angle is pretty clever.

On April 28, Patrick Witt, the Executive Director of the White House Digital Assets Presidential Advisory Committee, hinted at the Bitcoin 2026 conference that a significant announcement regarding Trump's strategic Bitcoin reserves will be made in the coming weeks. Witt stated that since Trump signed the executive order to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve last year, the team has been researching related mechanisms and legal interpretations to ensure that digital assets (especially Bitcoin) on the government's balance sheet are properly protected and consolidated.
Meanwhile, lawmakers are pushing to codify Trump's executive action. Senator Cynthia Lummis and Congressman Nick Begich have reintroduced the BITCOIN bill, which has been renamed the "U.S. Reserve Modernization Act," which includes plans to acquire 1 million Bitcoins over five years through a "budget-neutral strategy."

On April 25th, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stated in a congressional hearing that the "Gold Card" visa program launched by Trump has currently only approved 1 applicant. This program is seen as an alternative to the traditional EB-5 investment immigration scheme, allowing foreigners to fork out at least $1 million to legally reside and work in the U.S., ultimately paving the way for a path to citizenship.
Howard Lutnick previously mentioned that the Trump Gold Card program has sold $1.3 billion worth of slots and is expected to generate $1 trillion in revenue to help alleviate the U.S. fiscal deficit. Although only 1 has been officially approved so far, Lutnick noted that there are still hundreds of applicants in the review process.

On April 25th, Bitcoin developer Paul Sztorc announced that a hard fork network called eCash, continuing to use the SHA-256 hashing algorithm, will launch in August this year. This setup will introduce a new competitive Layer blockchain and seven Layer 2 scaling networks known as 'drivechains'. BTC holders will be able to swap their BTC for eCash at a 1:1 ratio once the hard fork goes live.
Paul Sztorc mentioned that unlike Bitcoin Cash in 2017, eCash will not carry the 'Bitcoin' name. However, the proposal to manually redistribute a portion of the approximately 1.1 million BTC held by Satoshi Nakamoto to early investors has sparked intense debate within the community, with some Bitcoin supporters criticizing this move as 'theft and disrespect'.

On April 22, according to The Information: Tencent and Alibaba are in talks to invest in DeepSeek with a valuation exceeding $20 billion.

On April 22, Liquid Capital's (formerly LD Capital) founder Yi Lihua stated that the bounce is continuing as expected. Everyone is discussing the bounce points, but we can only take it step by step. Compared to the recent highs of the S&P 500, the current rebound in the crypto space seems relatively weak, clearly showing characteristics of a bear market bounce. I've been diving deep into the risks associated with MicroStrategy over the past couple of days. Their aggressive financing strategy for purchasing crypto appears to be effective in the short term, but there could be risks in the medium term, especially during times of macroeconomic financial stress. Always be prepared for a potentially big opportunity; there's no need to be pessimistic about crypto. Opportunities in the crypto space have always existed during bear markets; bull markets are when you happily enter, only to leave losing money.

2026 Forbes AI 50 list released, with industry leaders like OpenAI, Anthropic still dominating the list. They have received unprecedented funding from top venture capitalists and tech giants in Silicon Valley and are reportedly preparing for a major IPO. These two AI giants have raised a total of $242.6 billion, accounting for about 80% of the total funding of $305.6 billion for the companies on this year's AI 50 list. The widespread adoption of their products has driven strong revenue growth: by the end of February, OpenAI's annualized revenue was reportedly over $25 billion; in early April, Anthropic announced its revenue run rate had surpassed $30 billion. These two AI labs have become leaders in markets like programming with products like Claude Code and OpenAI Codex, forcing companies like Cursor, valued at $29.3 billion, to innovate for survival.
