You can take a look at the general flow of this report immediately below and reach all the developments that took place in the 7-day period from Weekly Crypto Market Reports: January 20, 2025.
Last week saw significant developments in the global economy and cryptocurrency markets. Economic data and policy decisions from Asia, Europe, and the Americas influenced market trends, while regulations and new product launches took center stage in the crypto sector. Signs of slowing growth in China became evident with the People’s Bank of China announcing lower loan prime rates. Meanwhile, the Bank of Japan’s rate hike, marking a departure from its long-standing low-rate policy, sent ripples through global markets. In Europe, the UK’s labor market slow- down drew attention, while ECB President Christine Lagarde’s statements had limited impact. In the U.S., economic data painted a mixed picture: signs of recovery in the housing market were positively received, but vulnerabilities in the labor market were noted. This week, interest rate decisions and economic outlook updates from the Federal Reserve and ECB will play a decisive role in market direction.
In the cryptocurrency sector, former U.S. President Donald Trump signing an executive order aimed at solidifying the country’s leadership in digital assets was deemed a historic move. Senator Cynthia Lummis’ appointment as chair of the Digital Assets Subcommittee and CME Group’s plan to launch XRP and SOL futures were among the major developments supporting the sector’s growth. Additionally, Bitwise’s Dogecoin themed ETF application and the Ethereum Foundation’s consideration of staking a significant amount of ETH signaled continued institutional inter- est. On a national and individual level, El Salvador increased its Bitcoin reserves, and the Trump-themed TRUMP token surged rapidly in the memecoin market, reflecting high investor interest.
Overall, global economic data indicated mixed signals of recession risks and slowing growth, with central bank decisions set to shape market trajectories. In the cryptocurrency market, accelerating regulations and expanding institutional investments are promising signs for the sector. Both in traditional financial markets and the crypto industry, it is crucial for investors to act cautiously and strategically. Growth and inflation data releases, along with central bank decisions this week, are likely to heighten market volatility.
