What to Watch
All eyes are on this week’s U.S. CPI release, which could shift dollar strength and influence both crypto and equities. The Senate’s next session in mid-September will determine the fate of the CLARITY Act and broader regulatory clarity for the sector. Meanwhile, ongoing investigations into crypto fundraising sources may prompt further scrutiny of major token sales and their beneficiaries.
