On this Monday, April 13th, geopolitical shockwaves hit the tape as the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz sends Bitcoin tumbling to $71,022. We debate the massive institutional counter-move: Michael Saylor's Strategy acquires another 13,927 BTC ($1B) while global crypto funds see a record $1.1B weekly inflow.
We analyze the maturity of DeFi as Aave DAO allocates $25M for its Labs division, contrasted against the bubble-bursting layoffs at StarkWare and the $237K Hyperbridge exploit.
Plus: A fake Ledger app steals 5.9 BTC from a high-profile musician, the Bank of Korea demands 24/7 market "circuit breakers," Circle refuses to freeze stolen USDC, the SEC eases rules for Web3 UI developers, and Bitmine now controls 4% of the total Ethereum supply.
