Hi subscriber,

Here's the CURRENCY HUB Monthly Market Update, reflecting on last month's trading and the short-term expectations.

Monthly Client Profit Summary

Commentary From the Trading Desk.

April proved to be a particularly challenging month for traders, following Donald Trump’s announcement of new tariffs across multiple countries. Markets experienced one of their sharpest shocks in recent history, leaving many participants reeling.

Despite the turbulence, our trading desk was able to navigate the uncertainty and identify profitable opportunities for our clients, with the aim of ensuring we help you fully utilize your 2025 allowance. We have noticed SARS are taking a little longer in approving the AIT application. If you are waiting to trade a better premium, you will risk getting through your full allowance. Our team achieved a maximum net return of 1.17%, with an average return of 0.61% for the month.

Trump’s tariff announcement sparked widespread disbelief. The US economy took a significant hit, resulting in a weakened dollar against most major currencies. While the ZAR (South African Rand) might have been expected to gain during this period, domestic issues weighed heavily. VAT increases and growing tension within the Government of National Unity (GNU) raised questions around South Africa's political and economic stability, causing investor hesitation.

Towards the end of April, we began to see signs of recovery. Encouraging local developments helped the ZAR regain some ground. Additionally, Trump’s decision to delay the full implementation of the tariff plan by three months allowed global markets to stabilise.

The outlook remains dynamic, and while volatility can bring risk, it also opens the door to new opportunities — something our team is well-positioned to pursue. We look forward to what the coming months will bring.

Insights from TOKEN 2049 in Dubai

We've just returned from one of the most impactful blockchain conferences we've attended to date, and we wanted to share a few reflections with you.

What stood out this year—compared to previous years—was the clear and meaningful evolution of the space. Gone are the days dominated by conversations about token price movements and the latest hyped coin "set to change the world." Instead, we witnessed a mature, solution-oriented atmosphere, with dialogue centered around building real infrastructure that can truly transform banking and finance.

From cybersecurity advancements to robust custody solutions, next-gen crypto wallets, and integrated payment rails, the focus has shifted decisively toward creating real-world value. It’s a sign of an industry growing up—and fast.

Many of the conversations we had were with founders and executives who’ve transitioned from leading roles in top-tier banks to now shaping the blockchain industry’s future with vision and substance.

We’re excited by the direction things are heading and are already exploring several new opportunities and partnerships that align with this more grounded, enterprise-focused future.

We look forward to sharing more with you soon—and as always, thank you for being a part of this journey with us.
