The chairman of the Hungarian Independent Gas Station Association and station owner, Jepsen László, stated that in order to operate, gas stations must have fuel. "We do not know how long fuel supplies can last—will they continue until the national strategic reserves are depleted? After that, we will be faced with a situation where there is no fuel at all. Gas stations must pay staff salaries, management fees, electricity, water, and communication costs. Once funds are exhausted, the gas stations will be forced to close." Hungarian energy expert and member of the Board of the Independent Gas Station Association, Egri, stated that Hungary's current refined oil reserves are only sufficient for about 15 days, and 100% supply to gas stations cannot be guaranteed. At present, gas stations are still able to obtain fuel, but in the coming weeks, it is expected that Hungarian gas stations—mainly private ones—could experience severe fuel shortages.

Odaily reports that U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Paul Atkins recently reaffirmed the advancement of “Project Crypto” and announced plans to jointly establish a digital asset classification framework with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). This framework will clarify when tokens are recognized as securities, while also introducing an “innovation exemption” to support on-chain trading of tokenized securities. The market views the initiatives promoted by Paul Atkins as among the most proactive crypto regulatory shifts in SEC history, marking the formal abandonment of the old model of “regulation by enforcement” in favor of clear rulemaking. This move may serve as a stronger entry signal for long-waiting institutional capital and could help propel Bitcoin’s price back above $80,000. Currently, Bitcoin is priced at approximately $77,586. The market is closely watching for further remarks from Paul Atkins at the Bitcoin 2026 conference in late April. (Forbes)

According to ship tracking data cited by the US, as of the afternoon of the 25th local time, only two oil tankers and one yacht had passed through the Strait of Hormuz that day. It is still unclear whether the US blockade of Iran's maritime traffic will impact the subsequent voyages of these vessels. The report also noted that due to signal interference and some ships turning off their automatic identification systems, the data may not accurately reflect the actual situation.
