According to Reuters: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) may be poised to approve Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Aas per four sources familiar with the process, the SEC asked exchanges such as Nasdaq, CBOE, and NYSE to refine their applications for spot Ether ETFs. This unprecedented move comes as a surprise to an industry braced for rejection.

Ether's price soared by as much as 18% on Monday due to this development and was up another 8.6% at $3,802 late Tuesday morning.

The SEC is expected to make a decision on applications to list Ether ETFs by VanEck and ARK Investments/21Shares — submitted via CBOE — by the end of this week. Although there was initially no engagement between the SEC, exchanges, and issuers on the application specifics, the regulator's recent request for updates indicates potential approval.

Despite growing optimism, these issuers still need SEC approval on the ETF registration statements before trading can commence. There's no set time frame for this, meaning Ether ETFs may take several months to begin trading.

The SEC's move represents a potential triumph for the cryptocurrency industry, given the regulator's historical hesitance amid concerns around market manipulation, especially overseen by crypto skeptic, Gary Gensler. The first Ether ETF applications were filed after the SEC approved ETFs tied to Ether futures in October, but rejection was expected due to discouraging encounters with the regulator. Last year, however, the SEC was compelled to approve Bitcoin ETFs following a successful court challenge by Grayscale Investments. This paved the way for significant buying interest, with two new Bitcoin funds attracting over $1 billion in assets within the first week.

WASHINGTON, April 24 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said his administration would look into banks, singling out Wells Fargo (WFC.N), opens new tab, over ‌payments and debt treatment after the Los Angeles wildfires, marking the latest friction with the banking industry.
The 2025 Palisades Fire in Los Angeles and Eaton Fire in Altadena killed 22 people, destroyed some 12,000 homes and caused over $50 billion in property damage
The 2025 Palisades Fire in Los Angeles and Eaton Fire in Altadena killed 22 people, destroyed some 12,000 homes and caused over $50 billion in property damage.
Wells Fargo, in particular, has been very difficult to deal with," Trump said in a post on Truth Social ​late on Thursday. "The Banks must treat those people, who so horribly lost their Homes in this tragic fire, very fairly and well."
Trump's second term has fueled friction with Wall Street, as allegations of "debanking" and exchanges over ⁠credit card rate caps have strained ties with executives at big banks despite a broader deregulatory push favoring the sector.
It was not clear how Trump ​would look into banks or if his administration would take any potential action. The banks have said they provided forbearance to borrowers affected by the wildfires ​and gave financial assistance to help in the relief efforts.
The president made the post after meeting with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger.
In a joint statement posted to Bass' X account on Wednesday, Bass and Barger said they had "a very positive discussion about FEMA and other rebuilding funds, as well as the support of ​the President to continue joining us in pressuring the insurance companies to pay what they owe - and for the big banks to step up to ​ease the financial pressure on L.A. families."
California Governor Gavin Newsom announced in January 2025 that five major lenders - JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N), opens new tab, Wells Fargo, Bank of America (BAC.N), opens new tab, U.S. Bank (USB.N), opens new tab and Citigroup (C.N), opens new tab - would grant 90-day mortgage forbearance to homeowners in Los Angeles and Ventura fire zones. The relief included paused credit reporting and potential for extended aid.
Later, ​it was legally required that a lender ​provide up to 12 months ⁠of mortgage forbearance in the state to borrowers facing financial hardship as a result of the wildfire disaster.
Forbearance allows borrowers to temporarily pause repayments on their loans or pay lower amounts. Borrowers often turn to banks for such aid ​to help ease the cost of rebuilding. However, the strain on the industry's profitability from the unpaid loans can ​also prompt lenders to ⁠retreat from markets prone to natural catastrophes.
Bank of America (BAC.N), opens new tab late last year said it will extend forbearance by up to two additional years, beyond the current 12-month forbearance period, for clients who plan to rebuild their home.
During his second term, the president has repeatedly criticized JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America, accusing them of denying ⁠banking services ​to conservative clients, a practice known as debanking. Both banks have denied any banking decisions ​based on politics

Tuesday began as a frantic day of diplomacy in Washington, with Air Force Two ready to fly Vice President JD Vance to Islamabad for another round of peace talks between the US and Iran.
Several hours later, Air Force Two hadn't taken off and the negotiations were postponed. President Donald Trump announced that he would extend the ceasefire with Iran, set to expire on Wednesday evening, to allow the regime more time to create a "unified proposal" to end the war.
In between, Trump weighed his options as the world waited to see if the countries were any closer to ending the war. Trump's decision marked the second time in as many weeks that he has backed off a threat to escalate the war, buying himself more time to wind down a conflict as it approaches the two-month mark.
Vance never officially announced the Islamabad trip, leaving Washington guessing. And Iran never officially committed to attending the talks, leaving the White House in the difficult position of deciding whether or not to send Vance with no assurance that Tehran would even come to the table.
As the day wore on, signs of a postponement emerged. Special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, senior members of the US negotiating team led by Vance, flew to Washington from Miami instead of heading straight to Islamabad. Soon after, Vance made his way to the White House for "policy meetings" as the president and his senior advisers debated what to do next.
In the end, Trump announced the ceasefire extension on Truth Social, his preferred means for war updates since it began in late February. The president said he made the decision at the request of Pakistan, which has mediated talks between Tehran and Washington.
We have been asked to hold our Attack on the Country of Iran until such time as their leaders and representatives can come up with a unified proposal," Trump said.
Notably, Trump this time did not specify how long the ceasefire might last. Earlier this month, he set a two-week deadline for the first ceasefire. That came after conflicting comments in press interviews, during which he said the talks were going well but also warned that he would consider resuming the war if Iran refused to negotiate.
There is no clear formula" for ending wars, James Jeffrey, a former US ambassador to Iraq and Turkey, told the BBC.
Trump isn't the first US president to "threaten significant military escalation," Jeffrey added, "while also putting a good deal on the table."
Trump's open-ended statement on Tuesday was more measured than his past social media attacks on Iran. That may signal Trump's desire to end a war that has roiled the global economy and is unpopular with anti-interventionist supporters in Trump's Maga base.
This is a pragmatic decision based on what are quite obvious fractures in the current leadership of the Iranian government," said Brian Katulis, a senior fellow at the Middle East Institute.
But Katulis said Trump's decision also created more uncertainty about how long the war will last.
This move begs the question though for Trump about how he can deal with the economic pain that Americans are experiencing and the political pain he's experiencing from his base," Katulis said. "He hasn't answered the questions that are still driving this crisis."
With the ceasefire extension, the US and Iran now have more time to make a durable peace deal. But major questions remain.
Iran has said that the US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is an act of war. While Trump chose not to restart the war immediately, he gave no indication he would end the blockade, which the US hoped would pressure Tehran to back down. So far that hasn't happened, leaving Trump with fewer options other than ramping up the military campaign.
Iran, meanwhile, has not signaled interest in ending its nuclear program or support for proxy groups in the Middle East -- two so-called "red lines" that Trump has demanded be included in any final peace deal.
Trump bought himself more time. But a quick resolution to the war, for now, seems as elusive as ever.

#Pixel $PIXEL @Pixels $DEFI The traditional world of equity investment—where you own a piece of a company’s success—has long been a gated community. For decades, access to high-growth startup equity was restricted to wealthy "Accredited Investors" and powerful venture capital firms. But in April 2026, a fundamental shift is occurring. The rise of Decentralized Equity Investment, often symbolized by $DEI protocols, is democratizing ownership by dissolving these walls. This is not just about speculation; it is about rewriting the playbook of corporate and community ownership.
The Learning: What Exactly is Decentralized Equity?
In simple terms, DEI is the concept of tokenizing equity in a project, company, or protocol and distributing it through blockchain technology. Traditional equity is a complex legal contract managed by lawyers and custodians. Decentralized Equity is a smart contract that automates governance, profit-sharing, and transferability, accessible to anyone with a crypto wallet.
When you hold a $DEI token, you are holding a claim on the underlying asset's success. Unlike utility tokens (used to pay for services) or governance tokens (used to vote), $DEI tokens are explicitly structured to function like traditional equity—they represent direct ownership and, potentially, right to a share of revenue or profits.
How is DEI Different from Utility or Governance Tokens?
This is where the real learning happens. It is crucial to differentiate.
Utility Tokens: These are like a "ticket" to a theme park. You use them to access a specific product or service (e.g., $ETH TH for gas fees). They do not entitle you to the company’s profits.
Governance Tokens: These are like having a "voting slip" at a shareholders' meeting. They give you a voice (e.g., $UNI), but often do not have a built-in economic claim on the protocol's cash flow.
$DEI Tokens: Think of these as a "stock certificate" on the blockchain. They are specifically designed for fractional ownership and direct economic alignment with the project's growth.#PEPEATH #PEPE创历史新高 #DEIXEM #DEI

After last week’s punt, key warrantless surveillance powers are set to expire on April 30, and it will be hard to clinch a longer-term Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act extension that can get 60 Senate votes and a House majority.
The Department of Homeland Security shutdown is on its 66th day and the House hasn’t passed the Senate bill funding DHS through September minus Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection.
Senate Republicans will address that with a separate, party-line funding bill that would fund immigration enforcement for the rest of Trump’s presidency.
Text for the Senate’s budget resolution setting up the bill is expected early this week, with an unlimited vote-a-rama in the coming days.
In Tennessee, a bill championed by White House adviser Stephen Miller would allow public schools to deny enrollment to undocumented children. In Idaho, employers would have been forced to use the government E-Verify system to stop undocumented immigrants from getting jobs. In Utah, undocumented immigrants would have been denied public assistance for vaccines or food for pregnant mothers.
But businesses and Christian groups helped block each of those proposals from becoming law.
Business leaders across various industries are nervous about the many immigration-focused bills being proposed or that have recently passed at the state level, which negatively impact the workforce,” said Jennie Murray, president of the National Immigration Forum, an advocacy organization that represents Fortune 500 companies.
In fact, of the roughly 200 bills targeting legal and undocumented immigrants in state legislatures this year, fewer than two dozen have made it into law so far, according to a Washington Post analysis of data from the American Immigration Council. More than 80 of the measures have died, multiple were vetoed, and dozens more have made little progress this spring legislative season, although several state legislatures are still in session
Many of the bills share common goals and similar texts, and they reflect the immigration enforcement priorities of the Trump administration
But much of the most aggressive legislation has stalled after failing to gain traction, even in red states such as Alabama, Florida, Mississippi and Idaho
Still crazy that Idaho legislators are killing every single bill we got on illegal immigration,” Republican Idaho state Sen. Brian Lenney wrote on X on March 17.
In Utah, Republican state Rep. Cheryl Acton called a bill that would have denied public services to undocumented immigrants a “violation, really, of the Sermon on the Mount.” The measure never got a sponsor in the state Senate, after being introduced by Republican state Rep. Trevor Lee, who told The Post that the White House was “very supportive” of the bill. When asked if the White House pressured him to introduce the bill, Lee demurred.
I wouldn’t call it pressure, more just what can we do to help you guys now that we have the border sealed,” Lee said about the White House’s role advocating for the bill. “What can we do as a state [to help the White House]
Abigail Jackson, a White House spokeswoman, told The Post in a statement that “The Trump Administration has led a government-wide, transformational effort to remake how we address public safety in America. … It’s not surprising that states across the country want to imitate President Trump’s successful policies on a state level.”
At a time when Congress is gridlocked, more Republican-controlled states are stepping up to try to implement the Trump administration’s agenda to restrict immigration.

Law enforcement officials in the Caribbean nation of Trinidad and Tobago have launched an investigation after 56 bodies, mostly of children, were found abandoned at a cemetery.
On Saturday, the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) announced the discovery in a statement. The bodies of 50 infants were recovered, as well as those of four adult males and two females
At least one of the adult women and one adult male showed signs of having undergone a post-mortem examination. All the adults had identification tags, similar to what is often used at morgues
Preliminary indications suggest that this may be a case involving the unlawful disposal of unclaimed corpses,” the police service said.
“Further forensic analysis is underway to determine the origin of the remains and any associated breaches of law or procedure
The discovery took place in the town of Cumuto, some 40km (25 miles) from the capital, Port of Spain.
After the remains were discovered at the cemetery, Cumuto police secured the scene and began a forensic examination. Specialised units, including homicide experts, have also been deployed to the site
In Saturday’s statement, Police Commissioner Allister Guevarro acknowledged how disturbing the discovery was
“The nature of this discovery is deeply troubling, and we understand the emotional impact it will have on families and the wider national community,” Guevarro said
“The TTPS is approaching this matter with urgency, sensitivity, and unwavering commitment to uncovering the truth. Every cadaver must be handled with dignity and lawful care. Any individual or institution found to have violated that duty will be held fully accountable.”
The improper disposal of human remains is a criminal offence in Trinidad and Tobago, as it is in other parts of the world
The island nation, located north of Venezuela, has also struggled with an uptick in organised crime in recent years.
In December 2024, Trinidad and Tobago declared a state of emergency to combat gang violence, and while its initial duration was only 15 days, the emergency declaration has remained in place, for the most part, ever since
As recently as March, the country’s House of Representatives voted to extend the state of emergency by an additional three months
At the time, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar said 373 people had been detained under the emergency proclamation, which expanded the powers of law enforcement to make arrests and enter public and private premises.
She said her government would continue its “zero-tolerance approach to crime and criminal gangs”.
“I had previously warned the criminal gangs and detainees released from prison that decent law-abiding citizens are fed up with their criminality, and if they cannot behave themselves, I would have no hesitation in having another SoE [state of emergency] declared,” she said in a statement in March
“If criminals want to terrorize law-abiding citizens and their families, I will do everything legally possible to terrorize criminals and those who aid and abet them.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Trinidad and Tobago has seen a sharp increase in its homicide rates.
That year, there were about 20 homicides for every 100,000 people, but the number rose to 45.7 homicides for every 100,000 in 2024, a record high.
The homicide rate, however, declined in 2025 to about 27 for every 100,000 people
