Major News Week Arrives: Bank of Japan and Federal Reserve to Announce Interest Rate Decisions, Earnings Reports of 5 Out of 7 U.S. Tech Giants to Be Released, Latest U.S. Department of Labor Employment Data to Be UnveiledBlockBeats news, on April 27, all G7 member states will hold central bank meetings this week, while companies representing 42% of the S&P 500 by market capitalization will release earnings reports, including five of the seven major tech giants—even without considering possible breaking news from the Iran war, this will be a pivotal week. The Bank of Japan will announce its interest rate decision on Tuesday, with Kazuo Ueda holding a press conference. This will be followed by the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Canada on Wednesday (early Thursday morning in UTC+8). On Thursday, it's the turn of the European Central Bank and the Bank of England to announce their rate decisions. While all central banks are expected to hold rates steady, the key issue is how each bank’s reaction mechanism will be influenced by the conflict and related stagflation risks. Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta will also announce their Q1 earnings after the US market closes on Wednesday (early Thursday morning in UTC+8), while Apple will report on Thursday (5am UTC+8). Economists at Deutsche Bank expect that any meaningful guidance change from the Federal Reserve will be postponed until June, as this week marks Powell’s last meeting before stepping down. Nevertheless, communications may tilt slightly hawkish—either through tweaks in wording such as “additional policy adjustments” or via Chairman Powell signaling a more symmetrical assessment of the risks to the Fed’s dual mandate. An explicit acknowledgment that the risks to price stability and employment are now more balanced is likely to be interpreted as a slightly less dovish stance. Beyond meetings, Thursday’s personal income and spending report—especially the latest jobless claims data and core PCE figures—will be crucial. The detailed schedule for key information this Thursday (UTC+8) is as follows: · 2:00 (UTC+8): FOMC interest rate decision announcement · 2:30 (UTC+8): Federal Reserve Chairman Powell’s remarks · 4:30 (UTC+8): Alphabet earnings call · 5:30 (UTC+8): Microsoft, Amazon, Meta earnings calls · 20:15 (UTC+8): European Central Bank interest rate decision · 20:30 (UTC+8): Latest US employment data, initial Q1 real GDP annualized quarter-on-quarter

a16z crypto releases global financial new stack report, stablecoins are reshaping the financial systemBlockBeats news, on April 27th, a16z crypto released an analysis report titled "The New Global Financial Stack: Stablecoin Edition." The report points out that stablecoins have evolved from niche trading tools into foundational financial pipelines, giving rise to a new "Banking-as-a-Service" model and driving the reconstruction of the financial system. The report believes that the transition to on-chain finance has "passed the point of no return." The report classifies blockchains into three categories: general-purpose chains (such as Solana, Ethereum, and L2), payment-specialized chains (such as Stripe's Tempo), and institutional networks (such as Canton). It also notes that bottlenecks in banking are easing, with a cohort of crypto-friendly banks actively connecting on-chain infrastructure with traditional fiat systems. Competition among stablecoin issuers has shifted to regulatory positioning, with issuers racing to obtain OCC national trust charters. According to the report, payments are the "first act," while credit may be a more important "second act." Large-scale issuance of stablecoins will give rise to new on-chain credit markets, allowing capital to form outside the traditional banking system. The report also emphasizes that stablecoins not only reinforce the dominance of the US dollar, but also provide emerging market users with access to the dollar.
