The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is ramping up its enforcement of tax compliance for cryptocurrency assets as the April 15 filing deadline approaches. According to Odaily, enforcement actions are intensifying in response to the upcoming deadline.

The euro has climbed to a six-week high against the U.S. dollar, according to a report by ING analyst Francesco Pesole. However, despite European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde's reaffirmation of potential interest rate hikes, the euro is unlikely to see significant further increases. According to Jin10, Pesole noted that substantial progress in U.S.-Iran negotiations would be necessary for the euro to sustain a breakthrough beyond 1.18 against the dollar. He also mentioned that if Lagarde indicates that a de-escalation of conflicts reduces the need for monetary tightening, it would surprise the market. Lagarde is scheduled to speak at 5 a.m. UTC+8 on Wednesday. Data from the London Stock Exchange Group shows that the market perceives a 37% probability of an ECB rate hike on April 30, with expectations fully priced in for two rate hikes by the end of the year.
