The EU Will 'Gift' the Crypto Market a Rally in April

Everyone was busy watching Trump turn the US into a crypto capital, but meanwhile the EU quietly turned into a safe harbor for institutional crypto investors and major projects. Thanks to MiCa adoption and rollout, stock exchanges are listing crypto‑ETFs without a hitch, and banks—like Societe Generale and Deutsche Bank—have started rolling out their own crypto services.

Over in the US, hopes for the Clarity Act passing before the midterms are fading fast, plus the SEC and CFTC still can't agree on who regulates what in crypto. Not to mention the Trump family's own shady dealings.

Here's the real kicker. April is when the EU hands the crypto market its biggest catalyst yet. Christine Lagarde, the crypto skeptic, is stepping down early as ECB head. Every single one of the three candidates vying to replace her is a vocal crypto advocate—pro‑crypto and pro‑tokenization all the way. And come May, Kevin Warsh takes the helm at the Fed. He's also firmly in the pro‑crypto camp. That's only going to add more fuel to the April trend.
