April 6
Trump Delays Strike on Iranian Energy Facilities Again, April 6 Becomes Next Focal Point
Odaily News: Trump announced that the planned strike on Iran's energy infrastructure, originally scheduled, will be paused for 10 days, postponed until 8:00 PM ET on April 6.
Eamonn Sheridan, an analyst at the US financial website investinglive, stated that this move indicates diplomatic engagement is still actively progressing. Trump said negotiations with Iran are ongoing and proceeding smoothly, providing a window for de-escalation of tensions in the Middle East. This decision effectively delays the significant escalation action against Iran's energy sector that the market had feared, offering a short-term respite for the global energy market, particularly the oil market. By postponing the action, Washington appears to be testing whether breakthroughs can be achieved through backchannel or mediation talks, or at least preventing further escalation in the near term. However, the set deadline indicates risks remain high. The April 6 deadline has now become a focal point for the market, effectively acting as a binary catalyst: either diplomatic progress is made, extending the pause or reaching a framework agreement; or negotiations fail, leading to a sharp escalation of tensions. Importantly, this does not indicate a fundamental shift in its underlying strategy. The US retains the option to resume strikes, and Iran has previously warned it would retaliate if attacked. Therefore, the broader geopolitical context remains fragile.
Gemini to Close Customer Accounts in the UK, Europe, and Australia Starting April 6
Odaily News: Gemini announced that starting April 6, 2026, it will close all customer accounts in the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, and Australia.

Coinbase will support the migration to Sei EVM from April 6 to 8, 2026. During the migration period, sending and receiving Sei (SEI) will be temporarily disabled, and users are advised not to deposit or transfer SEI during this time. User tokens will be converted at a 1:1 ratio with no conversion fees. Users who wish to opt out of the automatic conversion must send their SEI to a compatible self-custody wallet before April 6, 2026. After the migration is complete, users will only be able to withdraw SEI to EVM-compatible addresses (0x format) and deposit SEI from EVM-compatible wallets. Coinbase will no longer support deposits of SEI to bech32 (Cosmos) deposit addresses.
