Crypto markets may face uncertainty this week as the U.S. government shutdown limits the release of key economic data, making it harder for traders to identify market-moving catalysts.
While the shutdown halts approvals for new U.S. exchange-traded funds (ETFs), U.K. investors will gain access to crypto exchange-traded notes (ETNs) for the first time in four years. The Financial Conduct Authority lifted its ban in August, noting that the market has matured and investors better understand these products.
Within the crypto industry, Hedera is upgrading its mainnet to introduce batch transactions, enhancing network efficiency. Additionally, Jito DAO is voting on whether to double the number of validators on Solana’s StakeNet platform to optimize the economic performance of the Jito Stake Pool.
