Regulatory Shift in Europe, Jobs Data in U.S. Shape Crypto Week Ahead

A preview of the week beginning June 29.

Crypto markets head into July as Europe’s MiCA framework enters full enforcement following the end of its transitional period. Exchanges are now competing for regional users after Binance failed to secure a license under the new regime.

Robinhood will also draw attention this week with a product showcase featuring CEO Vlad Tenev and crypto lead Johann Kerbrat.

On the macro side, investors face a heavy slate of U.S. data releases covering labor market conditions, inflation, and manufacturing activity. Geopolitical developments remain an additional wildcard for risk sentiment.
