American Airlines is actively exploring diversified approaches to increase capacity, including introducing larger widebody aircraft for mainline routes, and planning to increase flight frequencies on core routes.

This strategic adjustment aims to address the ongoing recovery in aviation market demand by optimizing fleet allocation and route network structure to enhance overall operational efficiency. The airline will focus on evaluating capacity gaps on high-demand routes, unlocking growth potential through both aircraft upgrades and increased flight frequencies. Replacing regional aircraft with new, large-capacity narrow-body models such as the Airbus A321neo, and deploying wide-body aircraft like the Boeing 787 Dreamliner on transcontinental routes, will be key approaches for enhancing capacity. In addition, American Airlines will closely monitor the allocation of takeoff and landing slot resources at hub airports, seeking to maximize existing resource value by improving daily aircraft utilization and optimizing transfer connections. This capacity assessment involves collaborative decision-making across network planning, fleet management, and revenue optimization. The final plan will be determined based on a comprehensive analysis of market dynamics and financial indicators.

Institution: Trump plans to raise automobile tariffs, which could cause Germany's industrial output to lose nearly 18 billion dollars

The Kiel Institute for the World Economy's estimate highlights the vulnerability of the EU's largest economy to US import tariffs—such tariffs have already cost Germany's automotive industry billions of euros. The institute's analysis states that "the impact will be very significant," and in the long term, output losses will rise to around 30 billion euros. Moritz Schularick, President of the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, said. On Friday, Trump announced that next week he will raise EU car tariffs from the previously agreed 15% to 25%, citing the EU's failure to comply with a trade agreement reached with Washington. Julian Hinz, an economist at the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, said: "Germany's already weak economic growth will take a heavy hit." The institute currently forecasts that Germany's economy will grow by 0.8% this year. The institute added that other European economies with significant automotive industries, such as Italy, Slovakia, and Sweden, could also suffer major losses. Jens Südekum, chief adviser to the German economy minister, advised caution in response to Trump's move. Südekum stated: "For now, the EU needs only to watch and wait. It's well known that Trump often revokes or retracts his high-profile tariff threats." He pointed out that Trump must clarify why he believes the EU has not complied with the existing trade agreement, and whether the latest tariff threat has any legal basis remains unclear. The adviser added: "It all seems rather impulsive."

Former BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda Claims 2% Inflation Target Achieved

On May 2, former Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda stated that the Bank of Japan has achieved its 2% inflation target and that Japan does not require fiscal expansion or monetary easing policies. Kuroda indicated that in the context of coexisting inflation and risks of economic slowdown, the Bank of Japan's decision to refrain from raising interest rates on April 28 was the correct choice.

Paradigm partner releases PACTs proposal, allowing holders from Satoshi Nakamoto's era to prove ownership of BTC without moving their assets

ChainCatcher reports that Bitcoin has always faced a "Satoshi-related problem" regarding concerns about quantum computing. If sufficiently powerful quantum computers are developed, millions of bitcoins stored in old wallets with exposed public keys could be at risk of theft, including approximately 1.1 million bitcoins believed to belong to the anonymous creator Satoshi, currently worth about $84 billion.

Veteran developer Jameson Lopp and five other developers officially proposed a solution in mid-April through BIP-361, aiming to gradually phase out quantum-vulnerable addresses over a five-year timeline and freeze any coins that fail to migrate. However, this proposal created another issue: Satoshi and all other long-term dormant holders would be forced to publicly "reveal themselves," or risk losing access to their assets.

Dan Robinson, general partner at Paradigm, published a proposal on Friday suggesting a way to avoid this trade-off. The core concept is "Proof of Address Control Timestamps" (PACTs). The main idea of PACTs is not to move coins, but to affix a timestamp proving ownership on a specific date, without revealing any information externally before the wallet owner actually needs to spend the coins.

If Bitcoin later implements a soft fork to freeze quantum-vulnerable coins, the protocol could include a rescue path that accepts STARK proofs—a type of zero-knowledge proof that remains secure against quantum computers—demonstrating that the holder created their commitment prior to the existence of quantum hardware. When the holder wishes to spend, they submit the proof and the network releases the corresponding coins. This redemption process does not disclose any information about the address, amount, or even the original timestamp creation date.

Quant Giant Jane Street Distributes $9.38 Billion in Compensation Last Year, Averaging $2.68 Million per Person

BlockBeats News, May 2nd, according to Bloomberg, quantitative trading and liquidity provider Jane Street distributed $9.38 billion in compensation last year, more than doubling from 2024. On a per capita basis, this is equivalent to an average of $2.68 million per employee, nearly seven times that of its competitor Goldman Sachs Group. The company recorded approximately $39.6 billion in trading revenue last year, surpassing major Wall Street banks and market makers.

Sources familiar with the matter revealed that Jane Street's partners' equity has surged by nearly 2000% since 2016, reaching $45 billion. This capital has provided the company with a solid foundation, allowing it to take advantage of market volatility and make substantial investments in early-stage startups. This has also helped Jane Street achieve significant gains in its bet on AI startup Anthropic PBC—Anthropic has received a new round of funding at a valuation of around $80 billion or higher. Jane Street can also access more available funds through loans and bonds it has issued in the public bond market in recent years. Representatives of Jane Street declined to comment.

The company has benefited in part from not having to comply with many of the same rules that large bank trading desks must follow. Jane Street is also able to invest some of its funds in equity stakes in companies like Anthropic. The company is also in talks to finance with cloud computing startup Fluidstack Ltd. and recently made an additional $1 billion investment in AI cloud service provider CoreWeave Inc. Despite recent controversies, Jane Street continues to surpass its own revenue records and lead the industry. Jane Street's 2025 trading revenue exceeded that of Ken Griffin's Citadel Securities— the latter set its own company record last year with $12.2 billion in trading revenue.
