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.
The direction of the week’s risk appetite could be dictated by a high-stakes macro calendar. Traditional markets are bracing for Wednesday’s U.S. CPI print, and a hot inflation reading could lock in a restrictive Federal Reserve stance and deepen recent spot ETF outflows.
With the market trying to find a definitive bottom amid persistent geopolitical friction and shifting risk capital, the week’s data will determine whether the asset class faces further downside or maps out a structural recovery.
