Gate研究院：4月加密市场震荡回暖，RWA与链上资金流动成焦点
Odaily Planet Daily News Gate Research recently released the "April 2026 Cryptocurrency Market Review" report, stating that the overall cryptocurrency market in April showed a volatile upward trend, with the total market cap significantly higher than in March. The trading volumes of BTC and ETH ETFs remained high with fluctuations. The report indicates that the activity levels of major public chain ecosystems continued to diverge. Solana maintained its leading position with a daily transaction volume ranging between approximately 90 million and 110 million.
Regarding trending sectors, the report points out that Pokemon TCG RWA has become one of the fastest-growing sub-sectors for on-chain RWAs, entering a second explosive phase in April. The monthly trading volume on major platforms exceeded $220 million, and weekly revenue once approached $6 million, hitting a new all-time high. Meanwhile, Aave faced its most severe liquidity crisis in history in April, with TVL outflows reaching tens of billions of dollars within a few days, resulting in a net outflow of over $9 billion for the entire month.
In terms of financing and security incidents, the Web3 industry completed 51 funding rounds in April, totaling approximately $834 million. Capital further concentrated towards top-tier financial and infrastructure tracks. Among these, Payward ranked first for the month with a $200 million fundraising round. On the security front, losses from Web3 security incidents in April amounted to approximately $306 million, a month-over-month increase of about 858%. This surge was primarily driven by a single cross-chain infrastructure attack on Kelp DAO involving roughly $293 million. The report suggests that against the backdrop of a market recovery, on-chain activity and capital liquidity are both increasing simultaneously. However, the security risks associated with cross-chain infrastructure and high-leverage protocols warrant continued attention.
