April 28 Weekly Crypto Market Report Overview

During the week of April 28 – May 5, 2025, both traditional markets and crypto assets experienced a significant influx of data and news. In the U.S., economic indicators pointed to a slowdown in growth, raising recession concerns; Consumer Confidence and JOLTS job openings declined, while ADP employment and GDP figures came in below expectations. Inflation indicators showed signs of easing in price pressures, with core PCE remaining flat on a monthly basis and falling to 2.6% annually. In the Eurozone, Germany’s GDP met expectations, but CPI rose; in China, the PMI remained in contraction territory, while Japan kept interest rates steady.

Looking ahead to this week, PMI data for the U.S. services sector is awaited, with Wednesday’s FOMC interest rate decision and Powell’s guidance seen as critical for the markets. In the UK, expectations for a rate cut are rising, while U.S. jobless claims will test the strength of the labor market. In the crypto market, the appointment of SEC’s new chair Paul Atkins and his favorable stance toward digital assets drew attention. ETF applications from major institutions like Bitwise, BlackRock, Nasdaq, and 21Shares signal growing institutional interest. Developments such as Mastercard’s stablecoin integration and the closure of PayPal’s PYUSD investigation indicate accelerating integration between crypto and traditional finance. Meanwhile, MicroStrategy’s purchase of 15,355 BTC, bringing its total holdings to 553,555 BTC, supported market confidence.
