On April 2nd, according to The Block, Elon Musk's social media platform X has filed a request with the US Supreme Court to prevent law enforcement agencies from forcing companies (such as cryptocurrency trading platform Coinbase) to hand over users' financial data. In a friend of the court opinion submitted to the Supreme Court last Friday, X Corp. stated that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) had obtained Coinbase's three-year trading records through subpoenas without a search warrant, involving over 14000 customers of the exchange, including the trading records of petitioner James Harper. Social media giant X, along with seven other research institutions and advocacy organizations, has jointly questioned the use of so-called 'suspectionless subpoenas', arguing that such demands violate users' privacy rights. X Company claims that the US Internal Revenue Service "obtained a large number of Coinbase user records through mass subpoenas without specific suspicion," thereby violating Harper's Fourth Amendment rights to the US Constitution.
Odaily Planet Daily News: IG analysts stated in a report that if the US announces tariffs early tonight and trade policies remain unclear, risk asset prices may further decline.

Investors can obtain tokens and stable USD returns (annualized 8% -10%) by holding gold asset warrants on the chain, which are mapped 1:1 to the value of physical gold, while avoiding the liquidity restrictions and custody risks of traditional gold trading. 2. NamericaREAM is a high-end real estate development project for Dubai's pre-sale properties. It collaborates with Dubai Royal Real Estate Group EMAAR to achieve on chain transactions of pre-sale properties through the dynamic mapping layer of the WAT protocol, enabling users to trade properties through ATC. And mint the income token INC (Income Token) to inject the investment income of pre-sale buildings into the chain. 3. As an important global energy asset, the natural gas resources of Kurmanstan will have their natural gas extraction rights and sales revenue digitized through the compliance pre-processing layer of the WAT protocol (audited by institutions such as JPMorgan Chase) and ZK technology, introducing energy related targets with an annualized stable cash flow of over 10% to the cryptocurrency market while ensuring on chain transaction compliance. The current management scale of the WAT agreement exceeds 270 million US dollars, covering diversified assets such as energy, real estate, and precious metals. This cooperation marks the recognition of traditional giants towards the on chain ecosystem and is expected to attract more Web2 users and funds to enter.
