According to Fortune magazine, the US Department of Justice notified employees on Monday evening that the agency is disbanding a department specifically responsible for cryptocurrency related investigations. In a four page memo reviewed by Fortune magazine, US Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced the decision, stating, "The Department of Justice is not a digital asset regulatory agency. However, the previous administration used the Department of Justice to implement a strategy of reckless regulation through prosecution." Blanche is the second highest ranking official in the Department of Justice and a defense lawyer for Trump during his 2024 criminal trial. He wrote that as part of the Department of Justice's efforts to comply with Trump's January executive order on digital assets, the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Agency (NCET) "immediately" disbanded, which aims to "establish regulatory clarity for the industry. As part of Monday's memo, Blanche instructed Justice Department employees to focus on "prosecuting those who harm digital asset investors" rather than pursuing cases involving cryptocurrency exchanges, mixers like "Tornado Cash," and "offline wallets.

According to BlockBeats, on April 8th, the US dollar index fell to 103.49, gold fell back $2982 to catch its breath, and Bitcoin rebounded to around $79000. The market initially rose due to reports that US President Trump was considering implementing a 90 day tariff suspension on multiple countries. However, the White House subsequently denied this unfounded report. Bitcoin and the US stock market immediately reversed and fell sharply, experiencing violent fluctuations again. Immediately after that, former US President Trump once again put strong pressure on the anti regime countries, warning them that the US would raise the current tax rate to 50% on the 9th of this month. This series of news has once again ignited market panic. The cryptocurrency market has experienced severe fluctuations, with Bitcoin soaring to $81213 before rapidly falling back. As of 9:30am on April 8th, Bitcoin reported around $79670, while Ethereum fluctuated around $1574, and its short-term trend remains to be observed. Over 446500 investors liquidated their positions within 24 hours, with a cumulative liquidation amount of up to 56.8 billion US dollars across the entire network. This collapse, known as the "Lehman Moment of Cryptocurrency," not only shattered the myth of wealth creation in the cryptocurrency industry, but also revealed the dual hidden dangers of leveraged speculation and regulatory vacuum.

According to Cryptoslate, the Bank of Canada released an internal research and discussion document on March 21, analyzing the correlation and potential risks of flash loans and their policies. The research report defines Lightning Loan as a blockchain native financial tool that allows users to borrow encrypted assets without collateral, provided that the loan is repaid within a single atomic transaction. It is worth noting that such internal discussion documents represent the complete research results of the central bank on important issues and fall within the broad scope of the Bank of Canada's responsibility to assess the impact of emerging technologies on financial stability and market structure. Report author Jack Mandin pointed out that although Lightning Loan is currently limited to blockchain networks, its underlying concepts can be extended to tokenized financial infrastructure if they meet technical conditions. This type of concept includes atomized risk-free lending, which may give rise to new systems that support atomic trading and programmable assets. The study also identified potential risks to financial stability. If financial institutions start integrating smart contract lending, it may directly trigger risks. In addition, when blockchain assets (including assets involved in flash lending activities) are embedded in traditional financial products (such as exchange traded funds), systemic risks may arise.
