Overview of next week's major events in the crypto world: macro data incoming, large-scale unlocks of multiple cryptocurrencies imminent

Macroeconomic Focus: US Inflation Data Will Determine Market Rhythm

One of the key focuses of the crypto market next week is the release of important US economic data. On January 13, the US will release December CPI data (including unadjusted core CPI year-over-year, seasonally adjusted core CPI monthly, and seasonally adjusted CPI monthly), which will directly influence market expectations for Federal Reserve monetary policy. On the same day, the US will also announce the results of the 10-year Treasury bond auction, and FOMC permanent voting member and New York Fed President Williams will deliver a speech. Following that, on January 14 and 15, US November PPI data and multiple speeches by FOMC voting members will continue to serve as market indicators.

Project Highlights: Zama Public Sale Launches, Multi-Chain Ecosystem Upgrades

On the project front, on January 12, Zama announced the launch of a Dutch auction token sale, marking an important fundraising event this week. On January 13, Fogo will officially go live on the mainnet and plans to release its token on the same day, with the Recall airdrop distribution also ending at this time. On January 14, BNB Chain will execute the Fermi hard fork upgrade on the BSC mainnet. On January 15, the MANTRA ecosystem will complete the deprecation of ERC20 $OM tokens, and the block reward halving for Ravencoin has been scheduled for January 15.
