Crypto Market Rebounds—But What’s Next?
After a rough patch tied to the Iran-US tensions, the cryptocurrency market seems to be catching its breath. Bitcoin clawed its way back above $100,000—though whether it’ll hold is anyone’s guess—while Ethereum posted double-digit gains. It’s a welcome shift, but the coming week could shake things up again.
There’s a lot on the calendar, from altcoin updates to regulatory moves. Some of it might matter. Some might not. Either way, here’s what’s happening, broken down day by day.
Monday, June 30: A Busy Start
The Ethereum Community Conference kicks off, which usually means a flurry of announcements—some meaningful, some forgettable. Golem’s Marketplace enters Open Beta, and Aptos is rolling out an automatic token migration. Bybit’s DEX project, Byreal, hits testnet, though testnets don’t always translate to real impact.
Regulation-wise, Singapore’s cracking down on offshore crypto services, demanding compliance by today. Meanwhile, Iran’s Nobitex exchange is slowly reopening withdrawals and trading. And the CME Group? They’re launching new futures contracts tied to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and major U.S. indices.
Oh, and Robinhood’s teasing some kind of announcement at 18:00 (UTC+3). Could be big. Could be nothing.
Tuesday, July 1: Privacy and Policy
SlowMist’s new phishing simulation platform, Unphishable, goes live—useful, if a bit niche. Ledn’s dropping Ethereum support, focusing solely on Bitcoin-backed loans. Zama, a privacy protocol, launches its testnet.
Then there’s the Eurozone CPI data at 12:00. Expectations are modest (2.0% annual inflation), but surprises happen. Later, at 16:30, Fed Chair Jerome Powell speaks. His words tend to move markets, even when he’s not saying much.
Wednesday to Friday: Deadlines and Delistings
July 2 brings the SEC’s deadline to decide on Grayscale’s Digital Large Cap fund—a basket holding BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, and ADA. Approval could mean fresh institutional interest. Rejection? Not so much.
Thursday’s quieter, but Upbit’s delisting STMX and XEM. U.S. jobs data drops at 15:30, with unemployment expected to tick up slightly.
Friday’s a holiday in the U.S., but Binance isn’t taking the day off—they’re delisting ALPHA, BSW, KMD, LEVER, and LTO. Elon Musk hints Grok 4 arrives after July 4, and the Senate’s pushing to pass a major tax bill before the holiday.
Sunday, July 6: Wrapping Up
Siacoin’s V2 update enters its second phase. It’s a small note, but for Sia supporters, it might matter.
All in all, it’s a packed week. Some of this will fizzle out. Some could move markets. Either way, keep an eye on Powell’s speech and the SEC’s Grayscale decision—those might actually leave a mark.
*Not investment advice, obviously. Just a heads-up.
