According to Coinjie.com, on April 20, Uniswap founder Hayden Adams expressed his opinion on the expansion of Ethereum L1. "I fully support the expansion and improvement of L1. In fact, the rollup-centered roadmap does need it. But what I want to object to are contradictory views: while claiming that Ethereum is taking the Rollup core route, while requiring all important functions to remain in L1; it requires both L2 to achieve expansion and refuse to support it on vague reasons such as ecological alignment. The industry needs to clearly choose the technical route and start controlling related risks, rather than hasty changes in narratives and strategies every month. I also oppose the eclecticism that all solutions need - this is probably worse than not choosing any route."

According to Coinjie.com, on April 20, Evercore ISI analysts said that any Trump administration attempt to fire Fed Chairman Powell "will lead to a surge in stagflation trading", but the implementation of the fire is "unlikely." Through the trends in the bond and foreign exchange markets, it can be seen that the market has lost confidence in Trump's economic policies. However, there is no sign that the market has lost confidence in the Fed, as the indicators of expected inflation remain at a low level. Any move that undermines the independence of the Fed will lead to a comprehensive rise in long-term yields due to inflation risks, a sharp steeper yield curve, a plunge in the US dollar, and various risk premiums including stock risk premiums, which is likely to directly trigger an economic recession.

According to Coinjie.com, many Canadian retailers have recently taken new measures to mark the letter "T" on imported goods in the United States, representing "Tariffs", reminding consumers that these products may increase prices due to tariffs.
