🚀 Bitcoin's Role as a Risk Indicator During Easter Market Closure

Bitcoin may serve as a real-time risk barometer while major markets, including those in the U.S., are closed for Easter. According to NS3.AI, Bitcoin's ability to trade 24 hours a day allows it to react to geopolitical developments and oil price volatility over the weekend. However, due to low liquidity during weekends, any significant movement would need to extend into traditional markets upon their reopening on Monday to be considered reliable.

🚀 Ireland Tests Digital Wallet with Age Verification to Protect Youth Online

Ireland has initiated the testing phase of its digital wallet, which includes an age verification feature aimed at enhancing the safety of teenagers in the online environment. According to Jin10, a statement from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform indicates that this digital ID will support age verification, helping to shield children and young people from potential dangers on social media platforms.

Ireland views social media age verification as a step towards a broader ban, which could include platforms operated by companies like Meta. Earlier this year, Finance Minister Simon Harris described teenage social media use as a "significant public health issue," highlighting its impact on mental health.

🚀 China's Central Bank Conducts 800 Billion Yuan Reverse Repo Operation

On April 3, China's central bank announced an 800 billion yuan three-month reverse repo operation. According to Jin10, with 1.1 trillion yuan maturing this month, the operation resulted in a net withdrawal of 300 billion yuan. Recently, the financial market has remained loose, with interest rates hovering around a low of 1.2%. Following the Lunar New Year, cash returned to banks, coupled with concentrated fiscal spending at the end of the quarter, leading to ample funds for financial institutions since April, and market interest rates continued to decline. Data shows that on April 3, the overnight rate DR001 fell to approximately 1.23%, marking the lowest level this year, while the one-year interbank certificate of deposit issuance rate for national banks dropped below 1.50%, a historic low. Market experts indicate that under these circumstances, financial institutions' demand for central bank liquidity has decreased, and the reduction in tool size was anticipated. The three-month reverse repo primarily addresses seasonal factors. Historically, the impact of cash injection and withdrawal around the Lunar New Year is significant, with high demand for the three-month reverse repo in January and February before the holiday, and a decline in demand after April is a historical norm.

🚀 Monad Co-Founder Releases Security Checklist for Protocols

Monad co-founder Keone Hon has shared a security self-checklist for protocols on the X platform. According to Odaily, the checklist focuses on key issues such as management permissions, fund security, and multi-signature mechanism design. It includes ten main points:

1. Identify which administrator functions could lead to fund loss.

2. Ensure all related operations have time locks.

3. Establish a real-time monitoring mechanism.

4. Provide timely alerts when administrator functions are called.

5. Review all privileged accounts and adopt a multi-signature (k-of-n) structure where possible.

6. Define signature threshold parameters clearly.

7. Multi-signature signers should use independent cold devices solely for signing operations and follow best practices, such as independently verifying transaction hashes.

8. Set withdrawal rate limits and avoid control by the same multi-signature.

9. Ensure employee devices have malware detection and management capabilities.

10. Prepare for extreme scenarios where multi-signature signers are compromised, reverse-engineer potential attack paths from an attacker's perspective, and optimize system design to increase attack cost and complexity.
