Crypto Market Roars: Pivotal Developments Reshape the Landscape This Week

Buckle up—this week's crypto rollercoaster just hit warp speed.

Regulatory rumblings meet institutional FOMO

The SEC's latest love-hate tweetstorm collided with a $2B hedge fund inflow—because nothing says 'trust the system' like Wall Street chasing decentralized assets. Meanwhile, Bitcoin miners are laughing all the way to the (cold storage) bank.

Altcoins party like it's 2021

Ethereum layer-2s hit $15B TVL while Solana degens resurrected three dead memecoins before lunch. The real winner? Gas fee arbitrage bots—the cockroaches of crypto that'll outlive us all.

Prediction: Volatility ahead

With derivatives open interest screaming toward record highs, the market's either prepping for liftoff or a spectacular faceplant. Either way, grab popcorn—and maybe hedge with some actual popcorn futures this time.

Cryptocurrency Calendar

We are poised to witness another week where the charts will be shaken by the news flow. Entering July brings us much more volatility, especially due to the final agreement date for tariffs. Although June did not meet the expectations, the agreement between China and the U.S. appears positive for cryptocurrencies in the mid to long term.

Below, you will find detailed dates and times of significant events awaiting cryptocurrency enthusiasts. These include factors such as central bank speakers and macroeconomic data releases, which contribute to the volatility and movement within the crypto market.

Warning for Cryptocurrency Investors

With just days left until the 9 July deadline, key data for the Fed’s July rate decision will be released on Thursday. Although the ultimate decision will be influenced by the inflation data on the 15th, a notable weakness in employment above expectations might rally more supporters for the “Fed could cut in July” camp.

Meanwhile, at 17:00 today, TRUMP will talk to Fox News, and we will announce any significant parts of his statements here as breaking news. We expect concrete announcements about happy endings with countries like India, Japan, and South Korea, as the US Secretary of Commerce referred to the upcoming period as a time when deals will be witnessed. Announcements regarding the signing of tariff agreements are expected to support the rise of cryptocurrencies.

The messages from EU officials in response to the U.S.’s recent tariff proposal in the coming days will be significant. If the EU intends to enter a “dispute” phase before reaching a settlement, the consequences for cryptocurrencies might not be favorable. Just like the announcement for Canada last Friday, Trump could announce something for the EU that could disrupt the markets. Finally, the announcements by central bank governors at the EU event this week will be crucial.
