Your look at what’s coming in the week starting May 11.
What to know:
Crypto Week Ahead is a comprehensive list of what’s coming up in the world of cryptocurrencies and blockchain, as well as the major macroeconomic events that will influence digital asset markets.
This week will see inflation data coupled with earnings from many crypto companies.
“Near term, markets will still be driven by macro conditions, ETF flows, and global liquidity, so volatility is expected,” Seltzer said. “But structurally, the industry feels much healthier than previous cycles.”
Seltzer said capital is starting to favor “real infrastructure, sustainable yield models, and platforms with actual risk management behind them rather than short-term narratives alone.”
That shift will also put infrastructure in focus. Azul, an upgrade for the Base blockchain, is expected to go live on mainnet, Ronin is set to move back to Ethereum, and several DAOs are voting on treasury, recovery and MEV-related proposals as the ecosystem recovers from the largest exploit of the year to date.
