The crypto market enters a pivotal week after Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh's hawkish Jackson Hole speech pushed both digital assets and traditional markets lower. Bitcoin has recovered to around $79,368–$80,000, but traders now face a dense calendar of macroeconomic releases, platform shutdowns, and token unlocks that could drive volatility.
Monday, August 31 includes Revolut's planned delisting of USDT, the suspension of ENS Vision, and the wind-down of HyENA, Summer.fi, and Printr. These closures add caution for altcoin markets.
Tuesday, September 1 brings Franklin Templeton's two Bitcoin dividend reinvestment ETFs going live, the permanent closure of the TON bridge-v3 inter-chain bridge, Russia's digital ruble launch, and Russia's comprehensive crypto asset law taking effect. Secret Network plans its migration to Arbitrum and will take an asset snapshot. The Euro Area CPI is due at 12:00 UTC+3 with expectations of 3.3% versus a prior reading of 2.9%.
Wednesday, September 2 features ADP Non-Farm Employment Change at 15:15 UTC+3, expected at 47k versus 44k previously, and the Fed's Beige Book at 21:00 UTC+3.
Thursday, September 3 brings US Initial Jobless Claims at 15:30 UTC+3, expected at 205k versus 203k previously.
Friday, September 4 closes the week with US Average Hourly Earnings, Non-Farm Payrolls expected at 58k versus -23k previously, and the Unemployment Rate expected to hold at 4.1%.
Alongside macro events, token unlocks are scheduled for 12 altcoins. Among the largest by market value, Bitway (BTW) will unlock $40.57 million, or 3.76% of its market value, on September 2 at 09:00 UTC+3. Ethena (ENA) will unlock $15.48 million, or 0.96% of its market value, on September 2 at 11:00 UTC+3.
