According to Cointelegraph, Uzbekistan has established a state-supported cryptocurrency mining zone named “Besqala Mining Valley” in Karakalpakstan, pursuant to a presidential decree signed on April 17, effective as of April 20. Approved mining enterprises may sell their mined digital assets on domestic cryptocurrency exchanges or overseas platforms, or via direct contractual agreements; however, all related revenues must be fully deposited into bank accounts within Uzbekistan. The mining zone grants tax exemptions to入驻 enterprises until January 1, 2035, while requiring them to pay a monthly fee equal to 1% of their mining revenue to the zone’s management authority. The new regulations also permit mining operations powered by renewable energy, hydrogen energy, and grid electricity.
According to Cointelegraph, Tempo—a payment-focused Layer-1 public blockchain backed by Stripe and Paradigm—recently launched its new “Zones” feature, enabling enterprises to conduct stablecoin transactions within permissioned environments while maintaining interoperability with public-chain liquidity. This functionality is primarily targeted at use cases such as payroll distribution, fund management, and B2B settlements. However, the feature has drawn criticism from industry observers due to its operator-centric design. Each Zone is controlled by a single operator who can view all transaction data and has the authority to suspend users’ transfer or withdrawal privileges in accordance with compliance requirements. Critics argue that this introduces a trust assumption akin to that of centralized exchanges, thereby deviating from blockchain’s core trustless principle.
According to The Block, Layer 1 blockchain Tempo has launched a privacy solution called Zones, designed for institutional use cases such as payroll distribution, treasury management, and payment settlement. Zones provide a confidential execution environment in the form of parallel blockchains connected to the Tempo mainnet; transactions within a Zone are confidential by default, yet assets remain interoperable with the Tempo mainnet, other Zones, fiat on/off-ramps, and liquidity pools. Tempo states that each Zone will be managed by a trusted entity, whose operators can view activities within the Zone and enforce access controls—but do not control the underlying assets. Users retain full control and may withdraw funds locked in smart contracts on the mainnet at any time.
Crypto analyst Ali published a detailed analysis on X, arguing that rather than debating whether Bitcoin has hit its bottom, market participants should focus on whether the current volatility represents a “generation-defining entry opportunity.” Based on long-term trend lines, on-chain liquidity, and cost distribution metrics, Ali delineates the core “value range” for this cycle. On the support side, the UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD) shows a significant concentration of coins in the $63,111–$70,685 range, forming the current primary support zone; if price breaks below $63,111, the market may enter a liquidity vacuum. From a long-term perspective, Bitcoin is approaching the key upward trend line from the past decade (approximately $56,000–$60,000), a level historically associated with accumulation phases preceding major rallies.
