[Politico: Trump administration assesses the possibility of supporting Iranian parliament speaker to power]
According to Politico , the Trump administration is secretly assessing Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Ghalibaf as a potential partner, or even a future leader of Iran, marking a shift in Trump's strategy from military pressure to ending the war through negotiations. The 64-year-old Ghalibaf has repeatedly threatened retaliation against the United States and its allies, but according to two government officials, at least some within the White House consider him a viable partner who could lead Iran and negotiate with the Trump administration in the next phase of the war. One official said, "He's a good option," but emphasized that no decision has been made. "He's one of the highest-ranking candidates. But we have to test them; we can't rush things." Ghalibaf denied any negotiations with the United States on Monday, but government officials dismissed his comments as domestic political posturing. "We're in a testing phase, trying to figure out who can come up, who wants to come up, and who's trying to come up," the official said. "When someone rises up, we'll test them quickly, and if they're too aggressive, we'll get rid of them."

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has submitted two proposed rules to the White House Office of Management and Budget, concerning disclosure requirements for the digital asset industry and hedge funds and private equity funds, respectively.
The digital asset proposal includes an "innovation exemption" mechanism, allowing relevant companies to be exempt from registration as regulated entities such as brokers or exchanges for a certain period. Another rule adjusts Form PF, used for disclosing fund performance and risks.

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink: Tokenized funds will revolutionize the financial system

Fink called for a clear regulatory framework and revealed that BlackRock manages nearly $15 billion in assets in the digital asset space, with its BUIDL fund being the world's largest tokenized fund.

[Aave DAO is pushing forward with its V4 upgrade and has entered the community discussion phase]
The Aave DAO has passed the Aave Request for Comment (ARFC) proposal vote, officially launching the community discussion process for the deployment of Aave V4. The proposal received 100% support on the governance platform, marking a crucial step towards a new major upgrade for the protocol.
ARFC is a non-binding phase aimed at gathering community feedback and optimizing the solution. It will subsequently enter the formal on-chain Aave Improvement Proposal (AIP) voting and mainnet launch process. Aave V4 is expected to be deployed this year. This upgrade will introduce a new Hub and Spoke architecture, integrating liquidity through a unified Liquidity Hub, with multiple Spoke modules defining different lending rules, risk parameters, and collateralization strategies, thereby improving capital efficiency and achieving more granular risk isolation.
Furthermore, V4 will address the liquidity fragmentation issues in existing protocols, support richer market structures, enhance integration with the native stablecoin GHO, and upgrade the liquidation mechanism. Aave states that this architecture will allow the protocol to evolve from a single lending model into a more flexible on-chain financial infrastructure, improving liquidity depth and risk pricing capabilities.
