A dense week ahead: Fed decision, Big Tech earnings, and month-end crypto expiry
TL;DR
Fed, GDP, and PCE releases compress four rate signals into two consecutive days (July 29 and 30), potentially forcing rapid market repositioning if signals diverge.
Coinbase and Strategy earnings land hours after the Fed decision, one day before Deribit and CME settle July’s BTC and ETH options expiry, stacking crypto-correlated sentiment with derivatives clearing.
Traders should plan around the sequence, not any single event: know which dates fall together, review leverage positioning, and adjust stop-loss placement ahead of month-end volatility.
Fed decision, GDP, and core PCE: Wednesday, July 29 and Thursday, July 30
The Federal Open Market Committee announces its rate decision Wednesday, July 29, following a two-day meeting. Less than a day later, the Bureau of Economic Analysis releases the Q2 GDP advance estimate and the June Personal Consumption Expenditures price index, both Thursday, July 30.

Will USDt-on-RGB accelerate RGB Adoption?
The anticipated launch of USDt on RGB in 2026 would bring the stablecoin back to Bitcoin for the first time since its early Omni Layer implementation. When Bitfinex last wrote about RGB in 2023, the protocol was still on testnet. It has since moved to mainnet and developed a broader ecosystem of wallets, standards and developer tooling, making USDt its first major commercial test. More broadly, the rollout will provide the most visible sign yet as to whether RGB can support stablecoins, tokenised securities and other financial assets around Bitcoin while preserving the network’s deliberately conservative design.
