#Gate广场四月发帖挑战 Today’s Major Cryptocurrency News (April 4, 2026)
Here is a summary of the latest key developments in the cryptocurrency market:
Market Pressure: Due to geopolitical tensions (such as ongoing Middle East conflicts) and changing macroeconomic expectations, risk aversion has increased. Bitcoin (BTC) has recently experienced a correction, falling to around $66,000, and has maintained narrow fluctuations ahead of the holiday.
Traditional Financial Giants Accelerate Deployment: Asset management giant Charles Schwab (Charles Schwab) is preparing to officially offer spot trading services for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), marking further deepening of support for the crypto market by traditional sovereign funds and mainstream financial institutions.
Massive Sell-offs and Layoffs by Mining Companies: Well-known Bitcoin miner MARA announced a 15% layoff after selling Bitcoin worth up to $1.1 billion. This move has sparked widespread industry attention on liquidity for large miners, profitability after the halving, and future operational strategies.
U.S. Policy and Regulatory Signals: It has been disclosed that the new U.S. Attorney General under the Trump administration personally holds Bitcoin. However, his past history and attitude toward cryptocurrency regulation are mixed, and the market is closely watching the potential policy impacts on digital asset compliance after his appointment.
