According to Huoxun Finance, a recent report has revised the long-term price forecast for Ethereum (ETH) to $250,000. This prediction is based on the core assumption that ETH will reach this level if it can achieve a "monetary premium" like gold and Bitcoin, securing a place in the approximately $31 trillion value store market. The report argues that ETH possesses unique historical attributes, serving not only as a store of value but also as a "yield-generating asset," distinguishing it from traditional asset classes.

According to the Associated Press, U.S. Vice President Vance has canceled his trip to Pakistan.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, the Iranian negotiating team announced to the US through Pakistani intermediaries that, for various reasons, they will not travel to Islamabad, Pakistan on the 22nd and currently have no possibility of participating in the negotiations. Sources indicate that after Pakistan intervened to mediate and requested a ceasefire from the US, Iran accepted the ceasefire agreement and agreed to conduct subsequent negotiations to end the war based on a ten-point framework it proposed, which had already been accepted by the US. Pakistan also explicitly stated that the US accepted this framework. However, in the days that followed, the US began to renege on its promises. Furthermore, in the first round of negotiations held in Islamabad, the US made many excessive demands, effectively violating the initial framework, leading to a stalemate in that round of talks. Sources also stated that in the exchanges over the past few days, the US insisted on its excessive demands, which infringe upon the absolute rights of the Iranian people, and the exchanges between the two sides have not made any substantial progress. Therefore, Iran finally announced today that, under these circumstances, participating in the negotiations would be a waste of time, as the US is preventing any substantive agreement from being reached.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, on the afternoon of April 21st local time, US President Trump posted on "Real Social Media" that, at the request of the Pakistani Army Chief of Staff and Prime Minister, the US will temporarily suspend military strikes against Iran, extend the ceasefire, and require Iran to first submit a unified negotiation proposal. During this period, the US military will continue to maintain a naval blockade against Iran while remaining on a state of military readiness. He stated that the ceasefire will continue until Iran submits a proposal and completes negotiations, "regardless of the outcome."

Odaily reports that an advisor to the Iranian parliament speaker stated: Trump's ceasefire extension is meaningless; the losing side cannot control the terms. Continued US blockade and bombing are no different and a military response is necessary. Trump's ceasefire extension is undoubtedly a buy-time for a surprise attack; Iran must take the initiative.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that in response to US President Trump's announcement of extending the ceasefire, a spokesperson for the Iranian Armed Forces' Hatem Anbia Central Command warned the US early this morning (April 22nd), stating, "The Iranian Armed Forces are 100% ready for combat and prepared to open fire at any time. In the event of any aggression or action against Iran, Iran will immediately strike its intended targets with overwhelming force, giving the US and Israel a lesson far more severe than in the past."

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Ethereumize has released a new report, adjusting its long-term price forecast for Ethereum (ETH) to $250,000.

According to Huoxun Finance, New York Attorney General Letitia James has filed a lawsuit against Coinbase and Gemini, accusing the two companies of violating New York State laws by providing "disguised gambling" services through their prediction market platforms. Regulators argue that such transactions based on the outcomes of events like sports and elections are essentially gambling activities, particularly questioning the platforms' allowance for users aged 18 to 21, while New York State law stipulates a minimum age of 21 for sports betting. Prosecutors are currently seeking substantial fines and the recovery of illegal proceeds, with at least $2.2 billion in damages against Coinbase and at least $1.2 billion against Gemini. Neither company has issued a formal response. Coinbase stated that its prediction market business is regulated by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, implying that the legality of its business falls under federal jurisdiction.

According to Huoxun Finance, several officials made comments regarding digital assets at a Senate hearing.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that SoFi announced it supports XRP deposits for its crypto business, but the lack of support for withdrawals to external wallets has sparked user dissatisfaction. Currently, users can only hold or trade XRP within the platform and cannot transfer it to on-chain wallets. This design has been criticized by some users as an "ETF-like model," arguing that it only provides price exposure without truly integrating into the crypto ecosystem. SoFi stated that it will open the withdrawal function in the future, but has not yet provided a specific timeline.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that the PACE Act, proposed by bipartisan lawmakers in the United States, aims to allow compliant non-bank payment institutions direct access to the Federal Reserve's payment system, garnering support from the crypto industry. The bill will establish a federal framework overseen by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, providing a unified registration path for payment companies and requiring them to maintain 1:1 reserves and meet risk control and record-keeping compliance requirements. Eligible institutions will be able to access core payment networks such as Fedwire, FedNow, and FedACH. The legislative goal is to reduce payment costs, improve speed and reliability, and make the transfer experience as simple as sending a text message. Industry observers believe this move could break the traditional banks' monopoly on underlying payment infrastructure, opening a crucial channel for stablecoins and crypto payment companies, and further promoting openness and competition in the financial system.
