Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said artificial intelligence infrastructure remains too expensive for widespread enterprise use, but that’s exactly what Amazon Web Services aims to change by developing its own chips and slashing inference costs. Speaking on CNBC’s Squawk Box , Jassy pushed back against speculation that recent advances in artificial intelligence model efficiency, such as those introduced by DeepSeek, would reduce the need for infrastructure buildout. “We have very high demand,” he said. “I don’t see us attenuating our building centers right now.” Jassy emphasized that AWS is experiencing no drop-off in AI infrastructure demand, despite macroeconomic uncertainty and the looming threat of tariffs. He explained that while more efficient models are welcome, the challenges of AI infrastructure are deeper and more persistent. “If you’re building frontier models like we are, you’re working on a lot of the same problems,” Jassy said. “The lower that we can make the cost of AI, the more customers are going to use it.” Jassy drew parallels between today’s AI shift and the early days of AWS. Lower costs per unit of compute, he said, often lead to increased customer spending—not less—as companies find new ways to innovate. “It allows them to save money in what they’re building, but they don’t spend less,” he said. “It unleashes them to do more innovation.” According to Jassy, there are two primary levers for reducing AI costs: the chips themselves and the cost of inference, the process of making predictions using trained models. While training dominates spending today, inference will become the cost center at scale. AWS has responded by building its own custom AI chips, which Jassy says deliver 30% to 40% better price performance than current GPU-based instances. He also noted that reducing inference costs involves advances in hardware and software techniques. Jassy framed the mission clearly: “If you sat in the meetings with the AWS team right now, they feel like it is their responsibility and their mission to make the cost of AI meaningfully less than today.” That push to lower AI costs is a potential catalyst for certain segments in the crypto sector. Notably, developers have long explored AI use cases but often hit a wall due to infrastructure and cost constraints. With more affordable technology to come within years, blockchain -native AI applications, from on-chain analytics to decentralized autonomous agents, could become more feasible at scale.

President Donald Trump acknowledged Thursday that his tariff policy changes will be problematic but said he pursued them because no one else had taken the issues on. Speaking at a Cabinet meeting, Trump defended the shift in trade strategy as a necessary correction, despite short-term pain. “The transition is difficult, but the end result will be positive,” he said, according to a CNBC livestream. Trump is not ruling out extending the 90-day pause on his “reciprocal” tariffs. During a Cabinet meeting, he stated that if he cannot secure favorable deals with U.S. trading partners, tariffs will revert to higher rates after the pause. When asked about extending the pause, he replied, “We’ll have to see what happens,” according to CNBC. The major U.S. stock market indices closed lower today, with the S&P 500 down 3.46%, the Nasdaq falling 4.31%, and the Dow decreasing by 2.50%. Bitcoin ( BTC ) gave up some of its gains from April 9 and is trading at $79,800. Overall, it was a challenging day for investors across the board. The remarks came as economic anxiety rises among U.S. monetary policymakers. Chicago Federal Reserve Bank President Austan Goolsbee expressed concern about a return to economic conditions seen during the COVID-19 pandemic. Citing a loss of confidence and growing anxiety within the district, Goolsbee warned that setbacks in sentiment could create broader risks for the economy. A Wall Street Journal report added further context to Trump’s trade approach, revealing that the former president had previously accepted the risk of a shallow recession in order to avoid a deeper depression. However, amid market volatility and a sharp rise in Treasury yields, Trump reversed course on some tariffs. The decision, influenced by collapsing bond markets and advice from National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, helped spur a market rebound on April 9. The S&P 500 posted its strongest single-day gain since 2008. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reportedly played a significant role in coordinating the policy shift.

President Donald Trump has officially signed into law a resolution repealing the IRS DeFi Broker Rule established by the Biden administration. According to an Apr. 10 press release statement from Rep. Mike Carey (R-Ohio), who introduced the bill alongside Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), the president’s signing of the bill marks a major legislative win for the crypto industry and its advocates in Congress. The bill repeals an IRS DeFi broker rule finalized at the end of 2024 that expanded the definition of “broker” to include decentralized finance platforms and other non-custodial digital asset services. The rule would have required DeFi platforms, wallet providers, and front-end protocol interfaces to collect user information and report crypto transaction data using Form 1099. “This is the first cryptocurrency bill ever signed into law and the first tax-related Congressional Review Act of Disapproval signed into law,” Rep. Carey said in a statement. He added that the rule “needlessly hindered American innovation” and would have overwhelmed the IRS with compliance demands it is unequipped to handle. “By repealing this misguided rule, President Trump and Congress have given the IRS an opportunity to return its focus to the duties and obligations it already owes to American taxpayers instead of creating a new series of bureaucratic hurdles.” — Mike Carey, Ohio Congressman The resolution, known as H.J.Res.25, passed the Senate on Mar. 4, 2025, and the House on Mar. 11. Due to its budget-related implications, the bill required a final Senate vote , which occurred on Mar. 26, before being sent to the president’s desk. Trump’s signature ensures the rule “shall have no force or effect,” and prevents the IRS from issuing a similar rule without explicit Congressional approval under the CRA. The White House had already voiced support for the resolution, calling the rule a “midnight regulation” introduced during the final days of the Biden administration. The signing comes amid a wider regulatory shift in Washington. In recent months, the Securities and Exchange Commission under acting chair Mark Uyeda dropped lawsuits against firms like Coinbase, Gemini, and Kraken. On Apr. 8, the Department of Justice also disbanded its National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team, citing strategic missteps. In another major development, Paul Atkins, a long-time SEC commissioner and crypto advocate, is set to officially take office as the new SEC chair after Senate confirmation . With Atkins in office, industry insiders expect the agency to shift focus away from enforcement towards a more supportive environment for crypto innovation.

A rare CryptoPunk NFT just sold for $6 million at a staggering $10 million loss amid the continued slide in NFT prices. CryptoPunk #3100, one of just nine Alien Punks in the original 10,000-piece collection, was sold for 4,000 Ethereum ( ETH ), worth about $6.07 million at the time of sale, according to an Apr. 10 transaction flagged by Arkham on X. The art brokerage firm Fountain reportedly brokered the sale, which was finalized through a private offer on the CryptoPunks marketplace. NFT TRADER DOWN $10M ON CRYPTOPUNK This NFT Trader bought an Alien Cryptopunk 1 year ago for 4.5K ETH ($16M). He just sold it for 4K ETH ($6M). He just locked in a $10M loss. Address: 0x70587661c804c72BBa25EcddD8d17B332C984017 pic.twitter.com/765PHvUzob When the NFT was first bought by the anonymous seller in Mar. 2024, it was the third-largest CryptoPunk transaction at the time, costing 4,500 ETH, or about $16 million. But with Ethereum’s price down roughly 56% over the past year, the seller’s 500 ETH loss turned into a net $10 million hit in dollar terms. CryptoPunk #3100 is now listed three times in the all-time top sales leaderboard for CryptoPunks, having previously sold for $7.58 million and $16.03 million. Despite CryptoPunks remaining the top-tier profile picture NFT collection, its financial performance has taken a hit. The collection’s floor price has dropped 67% from its all-time high of 125 ETH set in 2021, now averaging 42.5 ETH, as per CoinGecko data . At that time, ETH was trading at around $3,500, placing the floor price above $400,000 compared to just $65,900 at press time. As NFTs’ popularity and asset prices continue to fall , the industry has been facing significant pressure. In Q1 2025, NFT trading volume fell to $1.5 billion, a 24% decrease from Q4 2024, according to DappRadar’s Q1 report . Despite only a slight drop in trading activity, the steep drop in volume indicates fewer high-value transactions rather than a decline in users. CryptoPunks still commands a sizable share of the market, making up 23% of the $2.7 billion global NFT market capitalization.

Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariff announcement sent shocks through global markets, shifting risk sentiment. Glassnode data shows equities dropped sharply, oil prices eased, and digital assets also fell. The policy move towards a weaker dollar and tighter fiscal spending hurt investor confidence, pushing capital away from crypto assets. Crypto markets reacted with significant declines; Bitcoin and Ethereum posted double-digit losses. More importantly, underlying liquidity worsened, increasing volatility and making investors uneasy. All of this shows how macro events strongly affect crypto market structure and feeling. Since the beginning of 2025, capital flowing into Bitcoin and Ethereum has fallen sharply. Bitcoin’s monthly realized cap inflows have dropped from $100 billion to just $6 billion. Ethereum fared worse, sliding from $15.5 billion in inflows to $6 billion in outflows. This means holders are selling at a loss, locking in capital pain. While Bitcoin’s realized cap has grown 117% since the FTX collapse, Ethereum has only added 32%. This uneven capital spread points to stronger investor demand and conviction behind Bitcoin. Ethereum, by contrast, is struggling to gain new buyers in this cycle.

Bitcoin’s fall below its 111-day and 200-day moving averages signals early weakness for the broader crypto in general. Breaking the 365-day Moving Average further confirmed downward pressure. Moreover, Bitcoin now trades between $93k and $72k, flanked by the Short-Term Holder cost basis and its -1σ band. This range has become a battleground for bulls and bears. If prices fall below $71k, more holders could be underwater. The True Market Mean at $65k marks the bottom of this zone and a vital long-term support level. If broken, long-term sentiment may deteriorate rapidly. The altcoin market was hit hard, much harder than Bitcoin, declining from $1 trillion in December 2024 to $583 billion as of April 2025. This 40% wipeout underscores the sector’s vulnerability to liquidity shocks and Ethereum’s underperformance continues.
