April 6, 2026 Cryptocurrency Market Update

Market Overview: Geopolitical easing, BTC returns to above $70,000

Benefiting from the easing of geopolitical tensions, the crypto market saw broad-based gains today.

Price Performance: As of 18:19 Beijing time, Bitcoin (BTC) was at $70,191 (+4.79%), reclaiming the $70,000 level; Ethereum (ETH) was at $2,168 (+6.19%).

Driving Factors: Reports say the US and Iran have received a ceasefire proposal, and the Strait of Hormuz may reopen, with market risk appetite rebounding. However, it’s important to note that official statements from Iran still leave uncertainties—market volatility remains intense, and about 85,000 traders were liquidated across the entire network within 24 hours.

Regulation and Industry: Compliance Accelerates

US Policy: Coinbase received conditional approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) in the US, and is expected to operate as a national trust bank, indicating that compliance among mainstream institutions is accelerating. The draft of the CLARITY Act is expected to be released this month, which will reshape the regulatory framework for digital assets.

SEC New Rules: The US SEC has introduced a new proposed regulatory framework, clarifying that four categories of assets—including “digital commodities”—are excluded from securities regulation, providing the industry with clearer boundaries.

This Week to Watch (April 7–13)

Macroeconomic Data: Watch US March CPI data and the Federal Reserve meeting minutes, which will affect global liquidity expectations.

Token Unlocks: Tokens such as SUI and ZRO will undergo large unlocks—be mindful of the risk of selling pressure.
