What events in August can affect the crypto market
We tell you what events are worth paying attention to and how the market may react to certain decisions of the regulator.
The blogger COIN 22 told about what events in August 2025 are worth paying attention to and how they can affect the crypto market. Here's what he drew attention to:
On August 1, another deadline ends within the framework of the tariff war declared by Trump. The head of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, believes that the confrontation unleashed by the US president could have a painful impact on the country's economy. In particular, the banker fears an increase in inflation. The changes could delay the Fed's decision to move to a rate cut. Trump's supporters, in turn, are confident that Powell is exaggerating the possible impact of the president's tariff policy.
At the time of writing, it is unclear whether a new pause will follow August 1, or whether tariffs of up to 60% will be introduced. Uncertainty may hinder market growth. New agreements, on the contrary, may positively affect the crypto industry.
The unemployment report is also scheduled for August 1. Its results will influence the Fed's rate decision in September.
The latest CPI report is due out on August 12. The rise in inflation could cancel out the forecast for the first rate cut in early autumn.
The FOMC minutes will be released on August 20. They will reflect the position of the Fed representatives on the issue of adjusting the rate on July 30, 2025. Thanks to the minutes, market participants will be able to understand the regulator's mood, which will influence the outcome of the September meeting.
The situation may be clarified by the symposium in Jackson Hole scheduled for August 21-23, which Powell will attend. His speech may shed light on the likelihood of a rate cut in September.
If the markets receive enough signals in August about the Fed's readiness to cut the rate in September, the crypto will have a new growth driver. Negative signals from the regulator, on the contrary, can put pressure. Mixed signals from the Fed can cause the crypto to remain in a sideways trend.
