As crypto markets gain momentum heading into the second half of 2025, a series of pivotal regulatory and macroeconomic events are poised to shape sentiment, liquidity, and price action across the space.
Here are the top dates that investors should mark on their calendars:
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is set to announce its verdict on the REX-Osprey Spot XRP ETF. A green light would mark the first XRP spot ETF approval and could trigger renewed institutional interest in Ripple’s ecosystem.
All eyes will be on the Fed as it issues its latest monetary policy decision. With inflation pressures still looming, any surprise hike or dovish pivot could have immediate consequences for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and broader risk assets.
The SEC must respond to Bitwise’s BITW spot ETF proposal by this date. With growing institutional demand for direct crypto exposure, a positive ruling could add fuel to the current rally or, if delayed, inject uncertainty.
Another key ruling, this time involving Solana. The SEC’s stance will be closely watched for signals on how it views altcoin-based ETFs following previous rulings on Bitcoin and Ethereum vehicles.
Argentina is expected to finalize and implement its comprehensive crypto regulation by year-end. As one of Latin America’s most active crypto markets, this could set a precedent for regional adoption, compliance standards, and DeFi integrations.
These upcoming events could act as major catalysts—or headwinds—for crypto markets. Traders and investors alike will be watching closely for developments that could define the regulatory and macro backdrop for months to come.
BitGo Holdings, Inc. has taken a key step toward becoming a publicly traded company by confidentially submitting a draft registration statement on Form S-1 to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The crypto market continues to flash bullish signals, with the CMC Fear & Greed Index holding at 67 despite a minor pullback from yesterday.
Five major banking associations are urging the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to delay approval of new national trust bank charters for digital asset firms, including Ripple, Fidelity Digital Assets, National Digital TR CO, and First National Digital Currency Bank.
According to a report by Barron’s, the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System (OPERS) made notable adjustments to its portfolio in Q2 2025, significantly increasing exposure to Palantir and Strategy while cutting back on Lyft.
