Several economies rely heavily on Persian Gulf energy imports, with some sourcing about 50% of fuel from the region; dependence is even higher in South Korea and Singapore. In late March, Asia's net oil imports fell noticeably, while naphtha and liquefied petroleum gas inventories tightened and diesel and jet fuel prices climbed. India and Thailand have already implemented measures to address rationing risks or potential supply disruptions. Goldman said prolonged disruption at Hormuz would likely worsen localized shortages and push oil prices higher. 6) Grayscale transfers 8,136 ETH to Coinbase Prime Arkham monitoring data shows Grayscale moved 8,136 ETH to a Coinbase Prime address about two hours before the report on April 6, worth around $17.5 million. 7) USDC Treasury mints 250M USDC on Solana At 22:55 on April 6 (UTC+8), the USDC Treasury minted 250 million USDC on the Solana blockchain.
