Geopolitical risks dominate market sentiment, with oil prices fluctuating at high levels
As of April 21, Brent crude settled at approximately $95.48 per barrel, up 5.64% for the day, reaching nearly a 7% intraday gain before pulling back. The core driver of this round of gains is the re-pricing of geopolitical risks in the Strait of Hormuz — last Friday, influenced by signals of Iran opening the strait, Brent plunged over 9% to $90.38 per barrel, but as the Iranian military announced the resumption of strait control and the US-Iran ceasefire agreement approaches expiration (at the end of US Ea

On April 20-21, 2026, Bitcoin quickly rebounded from its intraday lows, surging to $76,469 at one point, with a 24-hour increase of about 2.08%. The total market capitalization of the global crypto market recovered to $2.55 trillion, with trading volume up 15%. This rebound was driven by three combined forces:
First, a phased easing of geopolitical risks. The temporary reopening of the Strait of Hormuz reduced extreme risk aversion in the market, supporting risk asset recovery. Second, accelerated institutional inflows. The US spot Bitcoin ETF continued to show strong net inflows—on April 20,

On April 20, 2026, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission announced a new regulatory framework, allowing tokenized Securities and Futures Commission–approved investment products to be traded in the secondary market on licensed virtual asset trading platforms. This is a key step for Hong Kong as it moves from “tokenized issuance” to “tokenized trading,” marking a new phase in the development of Hong Kong’s digital asset ecosystem.
Key takeaways: The new rules mainly target tokenized open-ended funds. After tokenization, they can be traded on licensed platforms in the secondary market,

The ceasefire expires on April 22, and the outlook for the second round of US-Iran negotiations remains highly uncertain. The US side says the talks will be held “as planned,” while Iran has clearly said “there are no plans,” and there are huge differences between the two sides on key issues.
US side: Strong pressure, dual-track advancement. On April 19, Trump announced that the US delegation would arrive in Islamabad on the 20th, led by Vice President Vance, and threatened that if Iran does not reach an agreement, the US will destroy Iran’s power plants and bridges. He also clearly stated tha

#Gate13周年现场直击

April 20th, gold and crude oil prices diverged again amid the ongoing U.S.-Iran game of chess—gold plunged sharply due to a strengthening dollar, while crude oil gapped higher on fears of the expiration of the ceasefire.
Gold: Opening lower and declining, focus on gap filling
Spot gold opened significantly lower in the morning, dropping over $90 at one point, with the lowest touching around $4,737. It is currently trading near $4,770. The dollar index rebounded strongly on the weekly chart to 98.42, coupled with cooling expectations of Fed rate cuts. U.S. Treasury yields remain high, increasin

On April 20th, the US-Iran situation fell into a dangerous deadlock of "talking while fighting, fighting while talking"—Iran explicitly refused a second round of negotiations, while the US military fired on and seized a commercial ship from Iran in the Gulf of Oman. With only two days left until the expiration of the ceasefire agreement on April 22nd, the likelihood of renewed conflict is higher than that of continued negotiations.
Breakdown of Talks and Double Signals
The first round of Islamabad negotiations on April 12th nearly reached an "80% consensus" but ultimately collapsed, with the c

Core Dispute: Definition Battle and the Clash Between Federal Authority and State Rights
The dispute between Kalshi and the Nevada state government over regulatory authority is a landmark case highlighting the current conflict between the U.S. federal government and state governments over jurisdiction. Kalshi argues that what it provides are “event contracts” regulated by the CFTC, which fall under financial derivatives; meanwhile, Nevada has determined that this is essentially sports betting that requires a gambling license, and therefore constitutes illegal operation.

Weekend Slow Life: Turn off the K-line and go out for a drive, being in cash is also a strategy
This weekend, I choose to turn off the K-line, bring a tent, and go to the tea gardens outside the city. The market will never change its course because of your chart-watching, but your mood will. At Gate Square, trading is never lonely—even if right now you’re “being in cash, sleeping among the flowers,” it’s still a top-tier strategy.
As for the event topic, let me share my thoughts:
1️⃣ This weekend, do you bet on the market “fully bouncing back” or “continuing to cool down”?
I lean more toward “

Kalshi and Nevada Regulatory Dispute: A Constitutional Clash Between Federal and State Power
In March 2025, the Nevada Gaming Control Board issued Kalshi its first cease-and-desist order, setting off a legal standoff that has lasted more than a year. The core dispute is this: Kalshi argues that its “event contracts” are “swaps” that fall under CFTC jurisdiction and should be subject to exclusive federal oversight; meanwhile, Nevada contends that these contracts are “no different in substance” from sports betting and must obtain a state gaming license in order to operate.

From April 16 to 17, spot gold traded in a tight range of $4,780 to $4,800 per ounce, with the 16th closing basically flat at $4,785.57 and the 17th trading around $4,780 in the Asian session. On the 16th, Trump said the US and Iran were "very close to reaching an agreement," while also hinting that face-to-face negotiations could be resumed in Pakistan this weekend, and announced a 10-day ceasefire with Lebanon. After the news broke, gold prices did not see sharp swings; instead, they moved into a stalemate characterized by a "rally that won’t go up and a fall that won’t go deep."

Gate.io Launches SpaceX Tokenized Stocks: A Double-Edged Sword for Democratizing the Pre-IPO Market
On April 15, 2026, Gate.io officially announced that its Pre-IPO platform's first project is SpaceX, with an asset certificate code SPCX, a subscription price of $590, a total quota of 33,900 units, an implied valuation of approximately $1.4 trillion, a minimum participation threshold of only 100 USDT, and a subscription window from April 20 to 22 lasting 48 hours.

🚀 From the crypto world straight to the stars and the sea of stars! Let’s talk about this issue’s Gate Pre-IPOs debut project SpaceX
🌟 My take on SpaceX
Founded by Elon Musk in 2002, SpaceX is no longer a typical commercial aerospace company. It has three major core pillars: Starlink satellite internet—over 10,000 satellites in orbit and more than 10 million global users—contributing more than two-thirds of the company’s revenue; the Falcon 9 rocket, thanks to reusable technology, has reduced the cost per launch to one-tenth of the traditional model, and in 2025 launch counts account for 51%

Thirteen years, from a newbie in candlestick charts to a veteran who has weathered bull and bear markets
In the winter of 2014, I saw someone mention "BitEx" on a technical forum. At that time, I had been working for two years, and my understanding of blockchain was still at the level of "I've heard there's something called Bitcoin." With a mindset of trying it out, I registered for Gate—that was my first cryptocurrency account in life.
The most memorable moment was during the 2017 big bull market. I was watching candlestick charts on Gate, watching a certain altcoin I bought surge from a few

#SEC称部分Defi界面可免经纪商注册
On April 13, 2026, the U.S. SEC Division of Trading and Markets issued a staff statement clarifying that certain self-hosted user interfaces, such as DeFi front-ends and wallet extensions, can be exempt from registration as broker-dealers if they meet a series of strict conditions. This move aims to provide clear guidance for the DeFi industry, which faces long-term regulatory uncertainty, and takes effect immediately with a validity period of five years.
The core of compliance is that the interface must maintain absolute neutrality and technical purity: it must not custo

As of April 16th, international spot gold is quoted at $4,795 per ounce, down approximately 1.5% from the recent high of $4,870. During the day, it fluctuated below the key psychological level of $4,800, showing a technical correction trend. Currently, gold prices are testing the support of the recent upward channel's lower boundary and the 5-day moving average (around $4,786). If this support is broken, the next support level is in the $4,745–$4,750 range; resistance above is concentrated near $4,839 and $4,870.
On the macro front, U.S. March CPI and PPI data both exceeded expectations, with
