May 19 Weekly Crypto Market Report Overview
Last week’s data releases provided key signals for the global economy and central bank policies. Eurozone CPI remained steady at 2.20%, while the Reserve Bank of Australia signaled easing with a rate cut. In the UK, inflation rose to 3.50%, reinforcing expectations of continued tight monetary policy. Strong U.S. PMI data confirmed economic momentum, though weak home sales highlighted fragility in the housing sector. Germany’s positive GDP growth hinted at recovery, while Powell’s remarks added uncertainty. This week, markets will focus on U.S. consumer confidence, New Zealand’s interest rate decision, and the FOMC meeting minutes. On Thursday, U.S. GDP and jobless claims will be in focus, followed by Turkish GDP, German CPI, and the U.S. core PCE index on Friday. China’s upcoming PMI data may also shape global growth sentiment.
On the crypto front, JPMorgan’s Bitcoin service announcement and MicroStrategy’s purchase of 7,390 BTC reflect growing institutional interest. While the SEC delayed ETF applications for SOL, XRP, and DOGE, a futures-based XRP ETF began trading on Nasdaq. VanEck’s and FIFA’s moves on Avalanche also drew attention, and major U.S. banks joined forces on a stablecoin project. In summary, global data continues to support a cautious stance among central banks, while institutional engagement in crypto is rising—despite ongoing regulatory uncertainty. This week’s packed economic calendar could drive fresh market repricing.
