#Gate广场四月发帖挑战 Cryptocurrency Circle Major Events in April, 16 Opportunities for Rapid Wealth Here!
April 2 $ACX
Snapshot Voting for Merge
ACX is the platform token of Across Protocol, a project focused on cross-chain bridges. It is planning to transform into a U.S. company soon. ACX holders can choose to exchange 1:1 for equity, or the project team will buy back at $0.04375 per token. Focus on the $0.04375 level!
April 3 SpaceX (Expected) IPO Filing
SpaceX is expected to submit confidential IPO documents as early as this week, aiming to go public by mid-June, with a valuation possibly exceeding $1.75 trillion. This will be the largest IPO in history, generating huge buzz! The crypto market is likely to follow suit. Watch for Elon Musk and space-themed tokens.
April 5 OPEC+ Meeting
OPEC+ is an alliance of oil-producing countries including Saudi Arabia and Russia. The meeting will review oil production policies for May, with plans to slightly increase output by about 206,000 barrels per day. Currently, oil prices are influenced by geopolitical factors; crude oil tends to slightly increase production, but the effect is limited. The real issue is the Strait of Hormuz remaining open! So even if production increases, oil prices may not fall significantly. Limited positive impact on the crypto market!
April 6 US-Iran War - Energy Facility Strike Pause
Around March 19, Trump publicly warned he would order the destruction of Iran’s energy facilities but has not acted yet. He announced an extension of the ceasefire on military strikes against Iran until April 6, citing Iran’s request, which Iran denies. Trump is active in multiple directions, but Polymarket shows a very low probability of a ceasefire this month. Short-term, unlikely to reach an agreement! Before a ceasefire, avoid heavy crypto positions and focus on crude oil!
April 8 FOMC March Meeting Minutes
This is the detailed minutes of the Federal Reserve’s March 17-18 meeting, discussing rising oil prices, geopolitical risks, inflation trends, etc., providing reference for future rate cuts. With high oil prices and ongoing geopolitical risks, the minutes are likely cautious, possibly causing a short-term dip in the crypto market.
April 10 US CPI Data Release
CPI measures US consumer price inflation and is a key indicator for the Fed’s inflation assessment. Market expectations are around 2.4%. If actual data is below 2.4%, it increases the likelihood of rate cuts, which is positive for crypto. However, ongoing geopolitical conflicts make inflation risks higher, reducing hopes for rate cuts!
April 10 $TRUMP - Position Snapshot Deadline
$Trump is a token officially issued by Trump. This snapshot confirms the top holders who can participate in Trump’s Mar-a-Lago gathering.
April 12 Genius Token Launch and Airdrop
Genius is a crypto trading platform preparing to launch tokens and distribute airdrops. Backed by CZ, but the platform’s user experience is average, and revenue is limited. Better to avoid this token! No real value at present!
April 14 US PPI Data
Producer Price Index (PPI) measures inflation pressures at the production level and is an important leading indicator for CPI. Due to Middle East geopolitical tensions, March PPI is likely to exceed market expectations, increasing inflation pressure. Watch out for crypto market correction risks!
April 15 US Tax Filing Deadline
This is the deadline for the 2025 US federal personal income tax filings. Taxes owed must be paid by April 15. Many US investors may sell crypto holdings to pay taxes in the short term. Be aware of downside risks, but long-term impact is limited.
April 15 US Fed - Beige Book
This is the Fed’s routine regional economic report, collecting firsthand information from 12 districts about employment, consumer spending, etc., to inform FOMC decisions. If the report shows strong employment and consumption, it will lower expectations for rate cuts, causing crypto prices to fall. Conversely, it could boost prices.
April 17 US Fed - Kevin Warsh Hearing Week
This is the hearing for Kevin Warsh’s nomination as Fed Chair, succeeding Powell. The focus will be on his interest rate stance, inflation views, and crypto regulation opinions. If smooth, Warsh will take office on May 15! Historically hawkish, Warsh has publicly supported rate cuts to align with Trump’s policies. Positive for crypto.
April 25 TRUMP - Mar-a-Lago Gathering
The top 297 holders from the April 10 snapshot will attend Trump’s Mar-a-Lago event. The top 29 super-large holders will also participate in VIP private receptions. Last year, Trump was the largest holder! After last year’s gathering, TRUMP token dropped 16% on the same day. Avoid participation!
April 28 Bank of Japan - Interest Rate Decision
This is Japan’s routine monetary policy meeting, mainly deciding the benchmark interest rate and whether to adjust easing policies. The outcome can significantly impact crypto. After Japan’s rate hike in January last year, Bitcoin retraced 30% over the following months. Japan is currently in a rate hike cycle, so the downside risk is high!
April 28 TSLA - Earnings Call
Tesla’s Q1 2026 earnings call will announce delivery volumes, revenue, and profit figures, focusing on autonomous driving progress, energy storage, and future growth plans. Likely bullish, as Tesla plans to aggressively promote driverless taxis this year, attracting high market interest and willingness to pay.
April 30 FOMC - Rate Decision
At 2 AM on April 30, the Fed will decide whether to cut rates, with Powell holding a press conference. Currently, due to oil prices and geopolitical factors, rates are likely to stay unchanged. However, Powell’s comments may be hawkish, possibly causing a crypto dip!
Summary: All data this month revolves around US-Iran tensions. As long as the war continues, the crypto market is likely to keep declining.
