April 14 Weekly Crypto Market Report Overview
Last week was marked by significant activity in global markets, driven by both macroeconomic developments and movements in the crypto space. In the U.S., weakness in the manufacturing sector stood out, while strong retail sales and jobless claims highlighted the economy’s resilience. In the Eurozone, industrial production came in positive, but weak leading indicators from Germany prompted the European Central Bank to take its first easing step with a 2.40% interest rate cut.
In the UK and Canada, the ongoing downward trend in inflation provided room for potential rate cuts by central banks. Meanwhile, China’s modest 1.2% growth rate and the decision to keep interest rates unchanged reflected a cautious stance. These developments have strengthened expectations that central banks worldwide may adopt a more dovish policy stance over the summer.
On the crypto front, regulatory and political developments took center stage. The SEC’s delay of Ethereum ETF decisions and the launch of spot Solana ETFs in Canada drew attention. Market volatility was also influenced by news such as Trump’s statements on increasing U.S. Bitcoin reserves and China’s liquidation of seized crypto assets. Additionally, Ripple’s strategic investment in an Asia-based XRP-focused fund highlighted growing institutional interest in the space.
Overall, both the weakening in global economic data and ongoing regulatory shifts in crypto have led investors to adopt a cautious but opportunity-seeking stance. This week, upcoming data releases—including PMIs, home sales, and retail figures, as well as speeches from central bank officials—will play a key role in shaping expectations for the second quarter of the year.
