New MiCA regime in Europe, U.S. jobs report for June: Crypto Week Ahead

Crypto market participants are entering July with a critical shift in Europe as the MiCA framework’s transitional period expires. Exchanges are now competing to lure in Binance users in the region after the firm failed to secure a license.

On top of that, investors will see new product reveals from Robinhood, in an event where CEO Vlad Tenev is speaking alongside the company’s general manager for crypto, Johann Kerbrat.

There is also a packed week of U.S. macroeconomic data, including employment and manufacturing reports, while potential black swan events surrounding geopolitics could also help shape the market’s direction.
