Crypto Week: Senate Drama, Tax Bombshells and Market Surprises

What to know:

Crypto Week Ahead, dear reader, is not a dry ledger but a voluptuous catalog of the coming flirtations within the crypto cosmos and the blockchain cabaret, and-lo and behold-the grand macroeconomic pageant that teases and sometimes tramples the delicate lace of digital assets.

The week ahead will see the U.S. Senate de-latching itself from vacation, the Clarity Act sashaying onto the agenda, and the National Credit Union Administration’s window for comment on stablecoin issuer rules closing with a decisive sigh of closure.

And, as if mischievously tickled by a cosmic clock, April 15 arrives-the tax filing deadline-threatening to tug at the wallets of crypto enthusiasts and perhaps to nourish volatility with a bouquet of anxiety.

The macro front, that grandiose billboard of fate, invites the markets to swallow critical data, notably producer price inflation, in order to divine the Fed’s next steps in the waltz of interest rates.

Earnings from Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and BlackRock may whisper further hints about how their crypto-tinged ventures fare and whether the staid appetite of institutions is learning to dance a new tune or simply stamping a reluctant foot.
