Crypto April Fools’ 2025: Greenland Acquisition, Sbf Keynote, And Bitcoin’S Great Poker Restoration

In an industry built on bold ideas, broken norms, and a constant stream of innovation, April Fools’ Day is more than a time for pranks; it’s a mirror.This year’s jokes played with history, poked fun at present tensions, and offered a surprising amount of insight, all under the banner of humor. The posts remind us that the crypto community takes its culture just as seriously as its tech.Here’s a look at a few of the most memorable posts that made the rounds on April 1.Bitcoin core poker client proposalA GitHub pull request titled “BIP-777: The Great Poker Restoration” proposed reintroducing a poker client into Bitcoin Core. The post claimed that early versions of Bitcoin had “gambling functionality” and that it was time to restore it.It was formatted like a real Bitcoin Improvement Proposal, making it believable at first glance. The proposal detailed mock opcodes like OP_SECURETHEPOT and referenced “Satoshi-sized blinds,” wrapping technical satire in authentic Bitcoin dev language.It struck a chord because of how believable it felt, especially given the resurgence of Bitcoin app layers and ordinal-powered side projects.Aurora Labs’ Greenland acquisitionAurora Labs CEO Alex Shevchenko announced that the company would acquire the entire island of Greenland to protect humanity’s access to the Aurora Borealis.The post leaned heavily into climate-conscious rhetoric, pledging to eliminate skyscrapers and restore clear skies so everyone could enjoy “the magic of the night sky.”A map of a newly branded “Auroraland” sealed the deal. It was a playful exaggeration of current trends in real-world asset tokenization and eco-aligned branding, but the tone made it feel like a genuine press release, at least at first glance.SBF – live from prisonThe Bitcoin Conference posted an image of Sam Bankman-Fried’s inmate listing next to a promo banner announcing a “live from prison” keynote.The session was titled: “Healing from the Pain Shitcoins Caused Me,” with the tagline:“He’s not out, but he’s still booked.”The Bitcoin Conference posted an image of Sam Bankman-Fried’s inmate listing next to a promo banner announcing a “live from prison” keynote. The session was titled: “Healing from the Pain Shitcoins Caused Me,” with the tagline: “He’s not out, but he’s still booked.”It acknowledged one of the most impactful chapters in crypto history while using satire to distance the current moment from the excesses of the last cycle.Gemini shares inflation chartRather than staging an elaborate hoax, Gemini posted a direct jab at fiat currency

Economists Expect Foreign Boycotts Of Us Products To Impact Gdp

Lower sentiment for the U.S. and product boycotts sparked by tariff threats could affect the country’s GDP. Pullbacks in tourism and in demand for U.S. products are expected to have an impact, Seeking Alpha reported Tuesday (April 1), citing findings by a Goldman Sachs research team. The largest impact on GDP is expected to come from a pullback in tourism demand, according to the report. A 10% pullback could create a 7 basis point drag on growth, while a 20% pullback could amount to 18 basis points of drag

House Committee To Review Stable Act Amid Controversy Over Yield-Bearing Stablecoins Ban

The House Committee on Financial Services has confirmed that the markup session for the Stablecoin Transparency and Accountability for a Better Ledger Economy (STABLE) Act will take place on April 2.The session will review the Amendment in the Nature of a Substitute (ANS), a revised version of the bill introduced on March 26. The updated draft refines definitions, strengthens compliance mechanisms, and outlines criteria for issuer qualification.Additionally, the bill continues to include provisions prohibiting the issuance of yield-bearing stablecoins, which proponents argue should be removed.Yield-bearing stablecoins prohibitedIt distinguishes qualified issuers into federally regulated institutions, nonbank entities approved by the Comptroller of the Currency, and state-supervised entities operating under certified regimes.The STABLE Act, led by Representatives Bryan Steil (R-WI) and French Hill (R-AR), proposes a comprehensive federal framework for regulating payment stablecoins.Despite these updates, the ANS retains language prohibiting yield-bearing stablecoins, which has become a point of contention in ongoing industry discussions.The restriction applies to stablecoins that distribute interest derived from reserve assets, a feature some view as critical for user adoption and economic utility.Proponents of the bill maintain that the prohibition reflects concerns around investor protection and regulatory clarity, especially as interest-bearing instruments may fall under existing securities laws.Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong advocated on March 31 for the inclusion of on-chain interest functionality, arguing that prohibiting yield-bearing stablecoins denies users access to competitive financial tools.Democratizing accessArmstrong emphasized that stablecoins backed by short-term US Treasuries could enable users to receive interest directly, similar to an interest-bearing checking account, without requiring the issuer to act as a bank.He cited Federal Reserve data showing that in 2024, the average consumer savings account offered only 0.41% interest, compared to a 4.75% federal funds rate, resulting in significant losses in purchasing power due to inflation and financial intermediation.Armstrong contended that on-chain interest democratizes access to higher yields and allows stablecoin holders to retain more value from underlying reserves.He further noted that global consumers in underbanked regions could benefit from stablecoins that function as dollar-denominated interest-bearing assets.In his view, prohibiting on-chain interest undermines the benefits of financial inclusion, transparency, and real-time accessibility that stablecoins offer.Despite the initial pushback, amendments to remove the restriction could still be introduced and debated during the markup process.Mentioned in this article
