Aunt AI: Claude AI helps users recover 5 BTC locked for 11 years
According to CoinWorld.com, user cprkrn said on X that he successfully recovered 5 BTC using Anthropic's Claude AI, which has been locked for the past 11 years and is worth nearly $400,000. Users claim that their funds were locked due to changing blockchain.com wallet passwords and subsequently lost their credentials. The recovery process begins when the user uploads old computer files and wallet-related data to Claude, and the AI recognizes the old crypto wallet backup file. Claude also helps users use the open-source tool btcrecover, which analyzes the decryption process and identifies password logic. Users said the recovery effort included searching in two Macs and multiple external drives, testing about 3.5 trillion password combinations. The way to succeed is to decrypt old wallet backups with a known password, rather than cracking the seed phrase. The incident garnered significant attention, garnering millions of views and responses from crypto market figures.

Japanese officials questioned the operation of selling U.S. bonds to support the yen
According to Bijie.com, a senior official from Japan's Ministry of Finance has expressed skepticism about Japan's possible plan to sell U.S. Treasuries to support the yen, suggesting that such a move could backfire. The official pointed out that selling U.S. Treasuries could lead to higher yields, which in turn triggered a decline in the yen. He stated that Japan has ample cash and deposit funds to intervene when needed. Last week, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bescent visited Tokyo, where both sides showed a united stance. Bescent stated that the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield is a key financial indicator to watch and agreed with the Japanese side that excessive volatility in the exchange rate market is undesirable. According to data, as of the end of April, Japan's foreign exchange reserves stood at $1.17 trillion. In March, Japan's holdings of US Treasuries decreased by about $48 billion from the previous month, partly due to valuation changes.

The White House believes that the Iranian proposal does not make substantial improvements and considers restarting military operations
According to the US Axios news website, the White House believes that Iran's latest proposal has no substantive improvements and is not enough to serve as the basis for reaching an agreement, and US President Trump is considering restarting military operations. The report pointed out that Iran, through Pakistan, submitted a draft agreement to the United States on the evening of the 17th aimed at ending the war, but only made some "symbolic fine-tuning" compared to the previous version, and did not make substantive concessions to its nuclear program. A senior U.S. official said that the negotiations are currently in a "very serious" situation, and if Iran refuses to change its position, the United States will have to continue the negotiations "through bombs". In response to Iranian media reports that the United States has agreed to exempt some of Iran's oil sanctions during the negotiations, the senior U.S. official said that if Iran does not take "reciprocal action", the United States will never grant any form of sanctions exemption "free of compensation".

Turkish Foreign Minister: The United States and Iran should resolve their differences through negotiations
According to Coin.com, Turkish Foreign Minister Fedan delivered a speech on the current situation in Iran and US-Iran relations during his visit to Germany. He stressed that the primary task of all parties is to make every effort to maintain the hard-won ceasefire and avoid the outbreak of direct military conflict. Fedan warned that once the war in the Middle East rekindles, it will have extremely serious economic and political consequences for the region and the world. He is inclined to believe that both the United States and Iran are fully aware of this risk and have the political will to reach a lasting agreement. Speaking about the much-watched negotiations on the Iran nuclear deal, Fedan said that there are no principled obstacles to Iran's willingness to agree to fulfill the necessary conditions in the nuclear negotiations. The main disagreement between the parties is not "whether to negotiate" but "what in return" and "how and in what order to fulfill the promise", and "whether the negotiations will bind other additional conditions".
