On April 6, data showed that on-chain perpetual contract (Perp) trading has been cooling off after peaking in 2025. According to DefiLlama data, the trading volume of perpetual contracts on decentralized exchanges (DEX) dropped to approximately $699 billion in March 2026, a significant decline from the peak of $1.36 trillion in October 2025, marking a continuous decrease for five months. Daily data also weakened, with on-chain Perp DEX trading volume falling to $8.4 billion on April 4, the first time it has dipped below $10 billion since September 2025, and reaching the lowest level since July 2025, indicating a notable cooling in market speculation and leverage demand. In terms of platform dynamics, Hyperliquid remains the clear leader, with a trading volume of approximately $185.5 billion over the past 30 days, accounting for about 34% of the total volume of the top ten platforms; followed by edgeX and Aster, with approximately $73 billion and $68 billion, respectively. Analysts believe that Perp DEX trading volume is often seen as an important indicator of market risk appetite and leverage levels. This ongoing decline reflects that after experiencing rapid growth in 2025, the on-chain derivatives market is entering a phase of adjustment, with liquidity further concentrating on leading platforms.

On April 6, Li Zixin, an assistant researcher at the China Institute of International Studies, stated that while the possibility of a temporary ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran is not nonexistent, it is indeed fraught with difficulties. Even if a ceasefire is achieved, it is more likely to be a stopgap measure rather than a reliable path toward a permanent ceasefire. Firstly, the core demands of both sides are difficult to reconcile. Iran views control over the Strait of Hormuz and its stockpile of 60% enriched uranium as key strategic bargaining chips and has made it clear that it will not abandon these fundamental interests for a short-term ceasefire. Meanwhile, the U.S. demands that Iran reopen the strait and manage its nuclear materials, essentially asking Iran to make unilateral concessions and temporarily set aside its core interests, which touches upon Iran's sovereignty and security bottom line. Secondly, the trust foundation for negotiations is very weak. Although Iran acknowledges exchanging relevant information with the U.S. through friendly countries, it denies engaging in direct negotiations. U.S. President Trump sends mixed signals by signaling negotiations while simultaneously issuing military strike 'ultimatums.' This approach of negotiating while applying pressure is more akin to a strategy of extreme pressure and testing the other side's willingness to compromise, rather than genuinely seeking reconciliation.

On April 6, BlackRock is setting its sights on a long-standing segment of the $13.7 trillion U.S. ETF market that has been dominated by Invesco: tracking the Nasdaq 100 Index. According to documents submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Monday, the iShares Nasdaq 100 ETF will track this index, with the trading symbol IQQ. If launched, IQQ will become one of the few U.S.-listed ETFs specifically tracking the Nasdaq 100 Index and the first of its kind not managed by Invesco. Since the Nasdaq Exchange introduced the index in 1985, it has been cautious in granting usage rights. Although there are ETF products in the U.S. market that overlay Nasdaq 100 components through derivatives, Invesco has nearly monopolized the market for pure Nasdaq 100 Index ETFs. This collaboration has given rise to the Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (symbol QQQ), which has a size of $374 billion, making it one of the largest ETFs globally, as well as the Invesco Nasdaq 100 ETF (QQQM), which has a size of $70 billion.

On April 6, during a press conference, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghaei responded to questions regarding the US operation to rescue its pilot on April 5, stating that it constitutes a violation of Iranian airspace and raises many doubts. The area where the US pilot was reportedly located is in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province, while the area where the US conducted the rescue operation is in central Iran, making the two locations quite distant. Baghaei emphasized that this US operation could be a 'cover operation' aimed at stealing enriched uranium, and this possibility should not be overlooked. He described the operation as a 'disastrous scandal' for the United States. (CCTV News)
