This Week’s Crypto Market Preview: Fed Meeting Minutes Set for Release, SpaceX to Be Added to Nasdaq 100 Index

1 hours ago

This week, the crypto market will focus on Federal Reserve meeting minutes, U.S. economic data, and several crypto industry events; macro conditions and on-chain dynamics may jointly influence digital asset trends. On the macro front, the Federal Reserve will release the minutes of its June FOMC meeting in the early hours of July 9 (Beijing time), and markets hope to use this to gauge the future interest rate path. Additionally, the U.S. ISM Services PMI, consumer inflation expectations, initial jobless claims, and China’s June CPI data will be released sequentially. On the industry side, SpaceX will officially be added to the Nasdaq 100 Index on July 7, becoming the fourth index constituent to hold Bitcoin, following Tesla, Strategy, and Mercado Libre. Data shows SpaceX currently holds approximately 18,712 BTC, and its inclusion in the index is expected to benefit from passive allocation demand from index funds. In addition, U.S. crypto miner American Bitcoin (ABTC) will resume trading after completing a 1-for-15 reverse stock split to avoid delisting by Nasdaq; Berachain will complete its PoL Next upgrade on July 7. In terms of on-chain governance, DAOs including ENS DAO, Frax DAO, Nexus Mutual DAO, and Arbitrum DAO will wrap up voting on multiple governance proposals this week. For token unlocks: Hyperliquid (HYPE) will unlock tokens equivalent to 0.2% of its circulating supply on July 6, worth approximately $30.39 million; RAIN will unlock ~7.64% of its circulating supply on July 11, valued at ~$787 million; PUMP will unlock ~29.12% of its circulating supply on July 12, worth ~$130 million. Beyond macro data, developments in the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the continued weakening of the Japanese yen also merit attention. Recently, Bitcoin has shown a strong negative correlation with the USD/JPY exchange rate, with yen depreciation often accompanying Bitcoin price rallies.

Analysis: Bitcoin’s 365-day Sharpe ratio has fallen to its lowest level since 2022, a metric that has repeatedly correlated with bear market bottoms historically.

According to CryptoQuant data, Bitcoin has fallen roughly 28% year-to-date. Its 365-day rolling Sharpe Ratio once dropped to around -21, the lowest level since the end of 2022, and remains near -20 currently. The Sharpe Ratio gauges an asset’s risk-adjusted return performance. A negative value means investors have taken on higher volatility risk while actual returns are lower than risk-free assets like 10-year U.S. Treasuries. Against the current U.S. Treasury yield of approximately 4.45%, this metric reflects that Bitcoin’s risk-return performance over the past year has clearly worsened. However, CryptoQuant points out that historically, such extreme negative Sharpe Ratio levels often signal market selling pressure is nearly exhausted. Similar levels appeared near Bitcoin’s bear market bottoms in 2015, 2019, and 2022, all followed by the start of a new upward cycle for the cryptocurrency.

The UK plans to tighten political donation rules, which may restrict crypto billionaires' donations to the Reform UK party.

The UK government has unveiled a new political donation reform plan, proposing to extend the £100,000 cap on overseas donations to the first year after a donor becomes a UK resident, and raise scrutiny standards for corporate political donations to further restrict foreign funds flowing into UK politics. The new rules build on the March ban on crypto political donations and are expected to be submitted to Parliament for final review next week. Analysts believe the new rules may impact the political donation capacity of Reform UK’s key crypto industry backers. Among them, Christopher Harborne—an investor holding approximately 12% of Tether’s equity—has donated around £12 million to Reform UK and is registered as a UK voter; Ben Delo, co-founder of BitMEX, has donated roughly £4 million and stated he plans to return to the UK to settle, meaning his political donations in the first year after his return will likely be subject to the £100,000 cap. Reports note that the relevant donations were not made in cryptocurrency, and Reform UK stated all donations comply with current regulations. Meanwhile, party leader Nigel Farage is facing further investigation over alleged failure to declare non-cash support provided by supporter George Cottrell.
