According to Bitcoin.com, US President Trump posted on Truth Social on Wednesday that New York State Senator and Democratic minority leader Chuck Schumer blocked Jay Clayton's nomination, leaving Clayton in a temporary position. As a result, the former SEC chairman will have to wait longer to officially become the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York (SDNY). Due to the frequent handling of major corporate criminal cases by the Southern District Prosecutor's Office (SDNY), a federal trial court, the position of federal prosecutor has attracted much attention. Clayton said in a CNBC interview in 2021, "I am very optimistic about this technology." Some cryptocurrency experts praised him as more open-minded than his successor Gary Gensler. However, Clayton lacked prosecutorial experience, and Schumer claimed that the only reason Trump nominated this former regulator for this important position was to advance the president's sinister conspiracy to ultimately pursue and prosecute his political opponents. Trump retaliated on Truth Social, praising Clayton's qualifications and experience, and accusing Schumer of partisan politics.

Odaily Daily News: Barry Silbert, founder and CEO of Digital Currency Group (DCG), the parent company of Grayscale, stated on the podcast "Journey Man" that his highest return investment was holding Bitcoin, not investing in cryptocurrency startups.

As the price of Bitcoin began to rise, he shifted his investment focus to investing in emerging cryptocurrency companies like Coinbase and using Bitcoin to fund these transactions. But in hindsight, holding Bitcoin alone is better than anything else. （FinanceFeeds）

According to Cointelegraph, the Wyoming Stablecoins Commission, which authorizes the issuance of stablecoins in the state of Wyoming, has stated that it is considering adjusting its policy wording to better comply with potential regulatory guidelines from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). On April 17th, at a meeting held at the expansion of the Wyoming State Capitol, committee member Joel Revill proposed that the agency could reduce the risk of the state's proposed issuance of WYST stablecoins being recognized as securities under SEC rules. Previously, the SEC issued guidelines stating that certain "regulated stablecoins" are considered "non securities" and are essentially not subject to reporting requirements. Subsequently, committee members and executive director Anthony Apollo engaged in discussions. Apollo stated, "We plan to create our own jargon around some of these issues to clarify and use as a starting point for committee discussions." He added that the committee has already discussed SEC guidelines internally, but plans to address this matter in a memo in May. After Wyoming passed a law to issue a state-level stablecoin pegged to the US dollar and convertible into legal tender, the committee was established and has been exploring issues related to WYST. Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon stated in August last year that the government initially planned to launch the stablecoin in the first quarter of 2025, but later revised the timeline to possibly launch it in July.
