There are quite a few interesting things in crypto this week. BNB is preparing for a major update — the Osaka/Mendel hard fork on April 28, all node operators need to update to maintain compatibility. The current BNB price is around $636, and the pressure is still modest.
But the hottest period will be April 15–17. DBR will unlock 618 million tokens (the largest this week — 12.9% of the circulation), STRK will release 127 million, SEI — 55.56 million. These are potential volatility triggers. ZK and ARB will also unlock, but on a smaller scale. Keep an eye on liquidity during these days.
On a fundamental level, interesting things: AAVE DAO approved a $25 million grant for development, founder Stani presented a plan to reach $1 trillion valuation. This shows the protocol’s ambitions. SUI is launching MemWal on mainnet — positioning itself as AI infrastructure. HYPE is launching a new fee model for DEX. Plus, the RWA sector is gaining momentum — capitalization already at $33.5 billion, US regulation could give it a boost.
In short: BNB and other tokens this week are a mix of technical updates and unlockings. Keep your eyes open for April 15–17.
