As the war with Iran enters its fourth week, crypto markets will be dominated by macro events.
Off the global stage, however, traders will navigate a series of supply events as Aave prepares for the rollout of its v4 platform and hard forks loom for the Akash and Casper networks.
Several speakers from the Federal Reserve also make an appearance, including Governor Stephen Miran’s planned appearance at the Digital Asset Summit in New York.
On the earnings front, Wall Street will get a fresh look at the not-so-meme stock company GameStop (GME), which has a bitcoin treasury of 4,710 BTC, along with reports from companies like BitGo, a crypto services provider for institutions.
