At the Golden Finance event on April 20, Hong Kong Legislative Council member Qiu Dagen delivered a keynote speech at the 2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival. He emphasized that regulatory clarity is the primary condition for industry development. Comparing the regulatory paths of the United States and Hong Kong, he pointed out that while the U.S. has introduced important documents such as the Clarity Act, the Genius Act, and joint statements from the SEC and CFTC, political circumstances could lead to legislative interruptions or even reversals. In contrast, Hong Kong offers a stable, transparent, and continuous development environment in terms of product classification, legislation, and infrastructure, which are essential for the development of Web3 in Hong Kong. Regarding the potential threat of quantum computing to the cryptocurrency industry, he stated that at least five more years are needed, but the industry should prepare in advance at the cryptographic level. Finally, he stressed that Hong Kong needs more technology developers and should promote cross-jurisdictional connectivity to create a positive feedback loop for product issuance, investor participation, and innovator entry.

On April 20, Chloe, a columnist for HTX DeepThink and a researcher at HTX Research, stated that the core macro logic of the cryptocurrency market is shifting from 'inflation shock' to 'geopolitical easing.' As signs of easing in the Middle East situation emerge, the market begins to reprice energy risk premiums, leading to a warming expectation of declining oil prices, which in turn suppresses inflation expectations. Analysis indicates that this change may alleviate upward pressure on interest rates and provide a temporary recovery space for risk assets. However, the current geopolitical developments still carry significant uncertainty; if negotiations falter or conflicts escalate, energy prices and inflation expectations may rise again. Against this backdrop, Bitcoin may transition from being viewed solely as an 'anti-inflation asset' to a dual pricing phase driven by both liquidity and risk appetite. In the short term, the market is more likely to be influenced by geopolitical variables, while the medium-term trend still depends on the overall liquidity environment.

On April 20, Nomura Securities released a report predicting that the Federal Reserve will cut rates twice this year, while the European Central Bank, Bank of England, Reserve Bank of India, and Bank of Korea will keep interest rates unchanged. The Reserve Bank of Australia is expected to raise rates once, and the Bank of Japan will raise rates twice, but not immediately. Nomura noted that the fragile ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Iran is improving market risk sentiment. Despite the high-risk edge policies, the market generally believes that both sides will eventually reach an agreement. However, given the significant gap in demands from both parties, it may take weeks or even months to finalize an agreement. In the meantime, the Strait of Hormuz may remain largely blocked.

On April 20, U.S. President Trump shared a commentary article by American political conservative Christopher Ruddy on social media, in which the author stated that Trump has decisively won the war. The article provided eight reasons for this 'victory': 1) Achieved the goal of preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons and dismantling its nuclear program. 2) Undermined Iran's status as a regional military power. 3) Facilitated a de facto new Arab-Israeli alliance, as key Gulf nations recognize their future is closely tied to Washington and Jerusalem. 4) Weakened Iran's network of proxies that have disrupted the region for years. 5) Forced NATO members to reflect on strengthening NATO. 6) Diminished Russia's standing; although Moscow has temporarily benefited from sanctions relief and high oil prices, these are short-term gains. 7) Stabilizing the Gulf region and reopening energy flows will ultimately benefit global markets and the world economy. 8) The Iran conflict may make the U.S. stronger and better prepared for future wars.
