Astar has recently optimized its dynamic token economy model through governance updates, aiming to improve the long-term stability of the economy. The new dynamic inflation mechanism adjusts token rewards based on actual network usage, rather than fixed issuance. This update will reduce the basic portion of staking rewards from 25% to 10%, while increasing the adjustable portion to 55% to help stabilize annualized returns (APR) and reduce unnecessary token issuances. Previously, Astar's proposal to optimize the economics of ASTR tokens and dApp staking mechanism has entered the voting stage.

According to BlockBeats, on April 18th, the latest Matrix on Target weekly report indicated that since the launch of Ethereum spot ETFs in the United States, Ethereum's dominant position has decreased by nearly 50%. The report states that in the past year, various narratives of altcoins have appeared and disappeared rapidly, presenting a pyramid price structure of "rapid rise followed by sharp decline". Analysis suggests that Bitcoin may remain in the $80000 to $90000 range in the short term, and the probability of a large-scale rise in altcoins is not high unless three liquidity catalysts are present: the Federal Reserve releasing dovish signals, stablecoin growth, or macroeconomic liquidity enhancement. The report also points out that unlike the past bear market, the regulatory risk of Bitcoin has been significantly reduced, which explains why its performance in the current adjustment period is better than that in previous periods.

Matrixport pointed out that despite the wave of counterfeit currencies, Bitcoin remains stable. Since the launch of Ethereum spot ETFs in the United States last year, Ethereum's market dominance has decreased by nearly 50%. Many altcoins have experienced rapid increases and then rapid decreases, forming a pyramid shaped price structure. Bitcoin needs liquidity catalysts to continue to rise, such as the Federal Reserve releasing dovish signals or cutting interest rates, stablecoin growth, and increased futures leverage. However, currently there is a lack of significant liquidity influx in the cryptocurrency market, and the probability of a large-scale rise in altcoins in the short term is not high. The Federal Reserve may not adjust interest rates during the summer to assess the impact of tariffs on inflation. Despite market expectations of four interest rate cuts in 2025, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell stated that he will evaluate it cautiously. Recently, the amount of stablecoins minted has decreased, supporting the possibility of Bitcoin remaining in the $80000 to $90000 range in the short term. Despite the sluggish trading volume, the weakening of the US dollar may increase the global money supply, thereby supporting the price of Bitcoin. In addition, the reduction of regulatory risks has also made Bitcoin perform better than before in the current market adjustment.

According to Bitcoin.com, Diosnel Alarcon, the head of Paraguay's National Police Cybercrime Department, stated that in 2023 and 2024, cryptocurrency scams and Ponzi schemes transferred over $4 billion in funds, and illegal intermediaries exploited investors' ignorance of cryptocurrencies to fuel crime. They set up a fake platform as bait, first adding small profits to the victim's account, and it was not until several months later that the victim realized they had been deceived. This number includes platforms that use Paraguay as a transit point to transfer illegal funds. Although cryptocurrency transactions can be traced, it is difficult to recover funds and identify those behind them due to the influence of international bureaucratic procedures. However, if reported promptly, the authorities may be able to prevent the crime and recover the funds.

BlockBeats News: On April 18th, CNN analyst Stephen Collinson stated that Trump once again fiercely criticized Federal Reserve Chairman Powell on Thursday, adding another cloud to the already volatile financial markets and economic outlook caused by tariffs and trade wars. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, "If I want him to step down, he will have to leave soon, trust me. I am very dissatisfied with him Trump is angry that Powell ignored his repeated calls for a quick rate cut. The interest rate cut would have made it easier for Americans to get loans to buy houses, boosting consumer confidence and boosting the stock market. The Federal Reserve cut interest rates three times in a row last year, after inflation had approached its target level. But against the backdrop of increasing economic uncertainty, the Federal Reserve has suspended this strategy, and these uncertainties have been further exacerbated by Trump's erratic leadership style in less than three months since taking office. On Thursday morning, Trump seemed annoyed by Powell's warning the day before. Powell has stated that tariffs may lead to inflation and higher unemployment rates, with some of the costs' to be borne by the public '.
