The highly anticipated inaugural flight of SpaceX's Starship rocket ended in a fiery explosion just minutes after takeoff. This unfortunate event marked a disappointing setback for Elon Musk, the company's founder and CEO, who has ambitious plans for the spacecraft to eventually embark on deep-space missions. Despite the setback, Musk remained optimistic, taking to Twitter to express that SpaceX had learned valuable lessons from the failed test flight and that the company would attempt another launch in the coming months.

On Thursday, April 20th, the Texas House of Representatives passed a pivotal bill that requires crypto exchanges to provide Proof-of-Reserves for accountability and transparency to their users. This new legislation mandates that digital asset service providers submit a report to the Texas Department of Banking no later than the 90th day after the end of each fiscal year. This measure is a significant step towards ensuring the safety and security of cryptocurrency transactions in Texas. By requiring exchanges to provide Proof-of-Reserves, users can have confidence that their assets are being held securely and that the exchange is operating in a responsible manner. This legislation is a positive development for the cryptocurrency industry and demonstrates Texas' commitment to fostering a safe and transparent environment for digital asset transactions.
