As the war with Iran enters its fourth week, crypto markets will be dominated by macroeconomic events.
However, outside of the global stage, traders will face a number of supply events as Aave prepares to roll out its v4 platform and hard forks loom for the Akash and Casper networks.
A number of Fed speakers are also in attendance, with Governor Stephen Miran’s planned appearance at the Digital Asset Summit in New York being a highlight.
On the earnings front, Wall Street will take a fresh look at not-so-meme stock company GameStop (GME), which has a Bitcoin treasury of 4,710 BTC, alongside reports from companies including BitGo, a provider of crypto services to institutions.
