暗号通貨の世界で今年の4月に何が起こったのですか？

More regulations keep coming and yes, Elon Musk bought Twitter. Aside from that, Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market are in a bearish territory (for now). But there’s more. So, let’s explore how April was for the cryptocurrency world.

市場で

• Bitcoin (BTC) decreased by over 17% during April. And it wasn’t alone. Ethereum (ETH) also went down by 22%, and the top ten coins followed on decreases. Beyond the stablecoins, XRP lost 25%, BNB descended by 13%, Solana (SOL) declined a 37%, Terra (LUNA) vanished 28%, and カルダノ (ADA) decreased by 36% [CoinMarketCap]. All of them were probably dragged by Bitcoin.
  
• There were a few bullish coins last month. The native token of the GameFi app STEPN (GMT), and the currency of the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), the ApeCoin (APE), top the list. GMT gained 39% during April, while APE increased by over 40% —in the wake of their new metaverse.

• Elon Musk bought Twitter in late April, which caused some bullish peaks on dog-themed coins since he’s a known promoter of ドージコイン (DOGE). DOGE increased by over 41%, while 柴犬 (SHIBA) gained 9% —both of them just briefly. Other lesser-known coins gained even more. For example, CyborgShiba (CBS) increased by over 681% in April, and ShibaNFT gained 543% [CoinMarketCap].
  
• Inflation is going up in the United States and Europe. The first country has now its larger inflation rate in over 40 years (8.5%). Meanwhile, Europe hit a record high for the sixth month in a row, with over 7.5% in April —due to energy concerns about the Ukrainian-Russian war. China doesn’t have good news either. A new outbreak of COVID-19 might cause a global supply chain crisis.

All of this could affect the cryptocurrency market positively or negatively. The inflation rates could push the investors into crypto (specially 安定したコイン) to protect their money. On the other hand, the general crisis could set the markets on “risk-off”: the investors bet only on safer assets like gold, and avoid the riskier assets like cryptocurrencies.
