The Japanese Prime Minister stated that naphtha supplies can cover four months of demand.

Golden Ten Data, April 5 — Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi stated that Japan has secured enough naphtha supplies to cover at least four months of demand, and the government is seeking to ease concerns over potential supply shortages. Takaichi said on social media on Sunday that these supplies include around two months of overseas procurement and transport volumes as well as domestic refinery output, and about another two months of intermediate chemical product inventories derived from naphtha, such as polyethylene. According to the Japan Petrochemical Industry Association, about 60% of Japan’s naphtha relies on imports, with more than 70% coming from the Middle East. Major Japanese naphtha producers have already cut production of this petroleum by-product. Naphtha is widely used to manufacture plastic bottles, construction materials, and electrical products.

JAN3 CEO criticizes Bitcoin quantum security proposals as too hasty: Warns that blind upgrades could trigger computational attack risks

According to Odaily, JAN3 CEO Samson Mow stated on the X platform that the current response to the Bitcoin quantum computing (QC) threat should not be rushed. He emphasized that blindly and hastily shifting from the existing signature mechanism to a post-quantum (PQ) solution could, in fact, expose Bitcoin to risks of classical computing attacks in the short term. PQ signature sizes could expand by 10 to 125 times, which would significantly reduce network throughput and could potentially lead to a resurgence of scaling debates similar to the "block size wars" in the early days of Bitcoin. Furthermore, Samson Mow warned that some PQ solutions may contain potential backdoor risks. The quantum computing threat remains a mid- to long-term concern (possibly requiring 10 to 20 years), so the more reasonable path at present is continued research rather than hasty deployment. He also singled out a certain exchange, pointing out that its wallet’s address reuse poses a risk of quantum attack and advised prioritizing the resolution of related infrastructure issues.

Garrett Jin: The market has not yet priced in the persistence of a US-Iran war, and high oil prices

On April 5, the "BTC OG Insider Whale" representative Garrett Jin published a lengthy article stating that oil is the core driving force behind the US-Iran war, with all other economic and financial variables affected by it. Garrett Jin believes the US-Iran war has evolved into a prolonged war of attrition. If the Strait of Hormuz is closed for more than five weeks, oil prices may structurally increase, which could pass through to interest rates, exchange rates, the stock market, and the credit market. According to PolyBeats data, prediction market Polymarket puts the probability of a US-Iran ceasefire before the end of this month at 18%, before the end of May at 34%, and before the end of June at 46%.

「BTC OG Insider Whale」 Agent: The market has not yet priced in the durability of the war, long-term attrition aligns with US interests

BlockBeats News, April 5th, "BTC OG Whale Insider" agent Garrett Jin published a long article titled "Oil is War," pointing out that oil is not a by-product of the US-Iran war, but the core driver of the war itself. All other economic and financial variables (stock market, bonds, cryptocurrency, Fed policy, food prices, etc.) are downstream results of the oil price. Whoever can accurately judge the trend of oil prices can understand the direction of the entire market.


Garrett Jin believes that the US-Iran war has exceeded expectations of "surgical airstrikes" and has evolved into a long-term war of attrition. The continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz will lead to a structural rise in oil prices, rather than a short-term surge. The war has escalated into a prolonged conflict, with the Strait of Hormuz closed for over five weeks, US ground troops gathering, and no clear path to victory or signs of rapid de-escalation. Iran's strategy is not to win but to make the war costly enough to force Washington to seek an exit.


The most likely scenario is entering a long-term war of attrition, which aligns with US interests—forcing global buyers to turn to North American energy while high oil prices stimulate domestic US production. The market has already priced in the war but has not yet priced in its longevity. Every oil price pullback is a buying opportunity. As US ground troops are deployed and unable to achieve a quick victory, oil prices will transmit to interest rates, exchange rates, stock markets, and credit markets.


According to monitoring, currently on the prediction market Polymarket, the probability of a US-Iran ceasefire by the end of this month is 18%, by the end of May is 34%, and by the end of June is 46%.
