FOMC minutes, SpaceX joins Nasdaq 100: Crypto Week Ahead

· CoinDesk

Your look at what's coming in the week starting July 6.

Crypto Week Ahead is a comprehensive list of what's coming up in the world of cryptocurrencies and blockchain, as well as the major macroeconomic events that will influence digital asset markets.

This week is characterized by macroeconomic reports, which include the minutes from last month's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, as well as economic data that may provide insights into the Federal Reserve’s next moves.

Crypto-linked equities are also in the news, with American Bitcoin (ABTC) dodging a Nasdaq delisting after a reverse split.

SpaceX, Elon Musk's space transportation and AI company, joins the Nasdaq 100, becoming the fourth member of the tech-heavy index to hold bitcoin

Others include Tesla (TSLA), Strategy (MSTR) and Mercado Libre (MELI). The space exploration firm, which holds 18,712 BTC, is expected to have more weight in the index than the latter two.

Beyond that, geopolitical developments and the further collapse of the yen against the dollar are factors to keep an eye on. Bitcoin’s negative correlation to the yen’s exchange rate against the dollar has been unusually high, with BTC tending to rise when the yen weakens.
