CoinMarketCap April 2026 Exchange Report: Binance Leads Exchange Reserves and Trading Volume in Indicators
According to the "April 2026 Exchange Monthly Report" released by CoinMarketCap, Binance ranks first in the world in core indicators such as reserve size, trading volume market share, and ETH market liquidity.
According to the report, Binance's proof of reserves reached $149.75 billion in April, accounting for 68% of the total market-wide tracking reserves. Among them, stablecoin reserves are as high as $50.69 billion, making it the largest exchange in the market with absolute liquidity reserves. Meanwhile, among the 12 major exchanges with a combined monthly trading volume of $4.50 trillion, Binance holds the top spot with a market share of 36.23%. It is worth noting that the ratio of Binance derivatives to spot is highly consistent with the market average, indicating a healthy and balanced development of spot and derivatives business rather than unilateral dependence.
In terms of spot market liquidity, Binance's ETH market ± 2% order book depth reached $13 million, an increase of 10.5% month-on-month, making it the deepest ETH execution venue in the entire market.

Bank of America: U.S. stocks are moving towards four consecutive double-digit gains, and materials stocks are expected to become the next strong sector
Odaily Planet Daily News Bank of America's Michael Hartnett team said that U.S. stocks are moving towards double-digit gains for the fourth consecutive year, an extremely rare market that has only occurred a few times in history. The S&P 500 index currently corresponds to an annualized increase of about 20%. This sustained rally had previously only occurred during World War II, in the years after the war, and during the bubble phase from 1995 to 1999.
The latest round of momentum driven by the AI capital spending frenzy pushed the stock market even higher, but the rally was very narrow. Today, other sectors are also starting to see stronger gains. Hartnett and his team believe that small-cap stocks, emerging markets and commodities "are all ushering in a long-term bull market turning point" supported by the resilience of the U.S. economy.
The Bank of America team expects materials stocks to be the next strong rising sector. Although the sector currently accounts for only 2% of the S&P 500, near a 30-year low, this is expected to change. Geopolitical competition around resources, increased military spending, a boom in AI capital spending, and efforts to address housing shortages will make the materials sector the "new bull market protagonist."

Analysis: Chip structure shows BTC bottom forming with $66,000 as the real money entry zone
ChainCatcher news, analyst Murphy said that the market is generally concerned about the price low of $60,000, but the analysis of the chip structure reveals that the real bottom foundation of Bitcoin may lie in the intensive turnover zone around $66,000.
Data shows that the position has accumulated about 440,000 BTC, of which 240,000 changes occurred between February and April. Currently, the proportion of chips in the range of $65,000 to $78,000 has reached 13.8%. Although it is still below the level of 18.7% before the FTX thunderstorm in October 2022, considering that traditional funds such as ETFs and MicroStrategy have locked about 13% of the circulating chips at a relatively high level in this cycle, the current ratio has the foundation to build a bottom structure.
If the market can have a second retracement and achieve further changes in this range, it will make the bottom foundation thicker and have a stronger "ability to resist blows". The true bottom should not be judged by the lowest price ($60,000) but by the turnover zone ($66,000) where large funds are concentrated in the market. The current change of hands in the range of $78,000 to $82,000 is still insufficient, and market divergence still needs to be digested.

Zcash CEO: Launch a quantum recoverable wallet within a month, achieve full quantum protection by 2027
ChainCatcher news, at the Consensus 2026 Miami conference, Josh Swichart, CEO of Zcash Open Development Lab, announced that Zcash will launch a quantum recoverable wallet within a month and fully reach a post-quantum state within 12 to 18 months.
In addition, the standalone scaling program aims to achieve Mastercard/Visa-level throughput within a similar timeline. On the user side, Electric Coin Company's wallet enables cross-chain swaps from assets such as BTC, SOL, USDC to privacy ZEC through the integration of Near Intents, and about $6-700 million has flowed through this route since its launch. The 30-day processing volume of the Near ecosystem is close to $800 million, with Ethereum, Solana, and Zcash being the main chains.
In addition, the project community is discussing reducing Zcash's block time from 75 seconds to 25 seconds, and cross-chain bridges with Solana and Hyperliquid are live. The token holder voting feature will also be live as an opinion layer to serve the project's existing consensus model. Currently, Zcash's shielded pool accounts for 30% of the circulating supply, a record high. The analysis believes that if this proportion continues to grow with the price increase, this round of rise will be driven by real adoption, not pure speculation.

ChainCatcher news, according to Coindesk, Bitwise co-founder and CEO Hunter Horsley said at the Consensus 2026 conference in Miami in response to the "recent negative sentiment in the DeFi sector", "I think DeFi is still alive and well". The recent specific incident is an operational security issue, not a smart contract being breached by hackers. He also believes that the crypto industry is rapidly entering the mainstream, and both DeFi and on-chain treasury need to respond to this moment. Treasuries have only been around for two years, and "not all treasuries are equally reliable, and those who enter first need to do more homework." eToro co-founder and CEO Yoni Assia also said that DeFi is "the inevitable future."
During the roundtable discussion, several guests made predictions about DeFi TVL in the next five years: eToro CEO Yoni Assia gave $5 trillion; Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley gave $500 billion; Guy Wuollet, a partner at a16z Crypto, declined to give specific numbers, only stating that "my numbers are up, right."

ECB President: Euro stablecoins pose risks to banking and monetary policy
According to ChainCatcher news, according to Bloomberg, ECB President Lagarde said that even euro-denominated stablecoins pose risks to financial stability and monetary policy transmission, questioning the necessity of introducing such tools.
She pointed out that while euro stablecoins may reduce the cost of financing in the eurozone and enhance the euro's global appeal, the cost is significant and outweigh the short-term gains. Lagarde emphasized that stablecoins are not an effective way to enhance the euro's international appeal. Lagarde referred to a March working paper by the European Central Bank that warned that widespread adoption of stablecoins would pose significant risks to eurozone banks and monetary sovereignty. She said Europe's task is not to "replicate tools developed elsewhere" and continues to push forward with the introduction of a digital euro.
