This week (April 6 to April 12, 2026), the United States will release multiple key economic reports and policy updates that will directly affect the cryptocurrency market. Investors are advised to closely monitor the following time points:

1. Key economic data reports
As cryptocurrencies are risk assets, they are extremely sensitive to U.S. inflation data.

(Fed) Federal Reserve meeting minutes: to be released on April 8 (Wednesday). The minutes will reveal policymakers’ detailed stance on the future direction of interest rates. If they send a signal of “maintaining high interest rates for longer,” it could put pressure on Bitcoin.

Consumer Price Index (CPI): to be released on April 10 (Friday) for March data. This is the most important inflation indicator of the week. If CPI is higher than expected, it typically strengthens the U.S. dollar and creates pullback pressure on crypto assets.

(University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment and Expectations): released on April 10 (Friday), and the market will look for clues about consumers’ expectations for future inflation.

2. Major policy and regulatory developments
SEC “Crypto Rules (Reg Crypto)” proposal: SEC Chair Paul Atkins said on April 7 that the proposal has been submitted for White House review and will be announced soon. The rule will define which transactions are securities and provide an exemption pathway for startups raising capital.

Stablecoin regulation progress GENIUS Act: On April 8, the Treasury Department put forward principles regarding the GENIUS Act, aiming to establish a federal stablecoin regulatory framework. At the same time, the FDIC also proposed a new proposal to bring stablecoin issuers closer to federal rules.

SEC enforcement shift: On April 7, the SEC acknowledged that some past cryptocurrency enforcement cases failed to effectively protect investors, and announced that in the future, its focus will shift to combating fraud and market manipulation. This suggests that the regulatory environment may be moving in a more constructive direction.

3. External macro factors
Geopolitical ceasefire rumors: Reports on Monday indicated that the U.S. and Iran received ceasefire suggestions, which increases market preference for risk assets such as BTC and ETH.

Spot ETF developments: Rumors suggest that a U.S. bank with an asset size of 1.9 trillion may launch its Bitcoin ETF on April 8 (Wednesday), which could lead to significant inflows of institutional capital.
