President Trump signs bill overturning IRS DeFi broker rule. On April 10, President Trump signed into law a Congressional Review Act of Disapproval (CRA) to overturn the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Digital Assets Sale and Exchanges Rule, otherwise known as the “DeFi broker rule El Royale Casino.” The DeFi broker rule previously required digital asset “brokers” to report to the IRS certain decentralized finance (DeFi) transactions conducted on their platforms. The rule defined “brokers” to include DeFi platforms, which typically are unable to collect from users the information required by the rule. The CRA prohibits any future administration from issuing similar rules without new legislation. For more information on the DeFi broker rule, see our January 2025 issue.
There are many differences between that period and today, and it will likely take a few months before we know where tariff rates will stabilize — Treasury Secretary Bessent said that the third quarter was a “reasonable estimate” for when markets will have clarity on tariffs.

Investors will need to consider the implications for their portfolios and may need to seek out alternative sources of return and diversification.
Beyond the large-cap assets, many crypto investors remain focused on blockchain-based artificial intelligence (AI) or decentralized AI (deAI). For example, according to data provider Kaito, AI-related projects accounted for about one-third of crypto industry “mindshare” (social media attention) over the last three months (Exhibit 5). The Bittensor ecosystem in particular has been expanding, driving outperformance of its TAO token. Bittensor now has over 90 active subnets, and subnet tokens have an aggregate circulating market capitalization of $580 million. Other notable crypto/AI developments in April included the first successful decentralized training of a 32bn parameter model by Prime Intellect (a collaboration between Flock.io and Alibaba Cloud), and Nous Research raising $50mm in fundraising led by Paradigm to support decentralized model training on Solana.
