Summary

This week, the crypto market is closely monitoring U.S. inflation data—including PCE, jobless claims, and housing figures—to assess the Fed’s rate trajectory. On-chain data reveals mixed sentiment as traders prepare for potential shifts. The CME FedWatch tool indicates a high probability of a rate hold in June. Meanwhile, oil prices and Middle East tensions remain under watch. DAO votes and token unlocks for EIGEN, HUMA, and GRASS are also in focus.

BlockBeats news: On May 25, this week’s crypto market will focus on key U.S. macroeconomic data, including PCE inflation, initial jobless claims, housing prices, and new home sales, to assess whether the Fed has room to cut rates. Current market expectations and the CME FedWatch tool both indicate a high probability that the Fed will hold rates steady in June.

The market continues to closely monitor the situation in the Middle East and fluctuations in oil prices; if energy prices continue to rise, they may intensify inflationary pressures and weigh on risk asset performance.

Additionally, this week will see several DAO governance votes and token unlocks, including those for EIGEN, HUMA, and GRASS.
