According to Beincrypto, French President Macron will give a speech at Paris Blockchain Week on April 15. The event will be held from April 15 to 16 at the Carrousel du Louvre, and he will be the first sitting G7 head of state to speak at an institutional-level conference focused on digital assets. This move is seen as a historic milestone and further confirms France's institutional leadership position in the European digital finance sector.
President Macron will outline strategic priorities for shaping European digital sovereignty to approximately 10,000 attendees, including the development of euro-denominated stablecoins, the launch of a digital euro, and the establishment of relevant regulatory frameworks to promote Europe's core position in the global digital economy. The conference will also invite several senior French government officials directly involved in European digital asset regulation, stablecoin policy, and institutional financial infrastructure development.
April 16 (Thursday)
The U.S. Senate Banking Committee plans to review the nomination of Kevin Warsh as Fed Chair on April 16
According to Jin10, a source told CNBC that the U.S. Senate Banking Committee will hold a hearing on April 16 to review Kevin Warsh's nomination as Fed Chair.
Another criminal investigation concerning the Fed is ongoing, examining whether current Chair Powell made false statements to Congress regarding the expensive renovations of the Fed's office building. Meanwhile, Warsh's nomination process is still moving forward, which could conflict with two parallel processes pushed by the Trump administration.
Banking Committee member Thom Tillis has stated that he will not vote to confirm Warsh until the investigation is concluded, meaning Trump cannot advance both processes simultaneously. However, by continuing to push for the hearing, Trump is clearly still attempting to achieve this goal. The Senate Banking Committee has not yet listed the hearing on the public agenda.
NFT project Intergaze announces closure, users must withdraw assets by April 16
The zero gas fee chain optimized for NFTs, Intergaze, will gradually cease operations, and users must withdraw their assets within 14 days before the cross-chain closure (by April 16).
NFT holders' NFTs will be migrated to Stargaze on Cosmos Hub in late May, and users must register a Cosmos wallet by May 1 to be included in the migration.
