May 2025 promises to be busy for the crypto market with significant events that could impact Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other digital assets.
Bitcoin Reserve Deadline
According to President Trump's March 6 order, a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and Digital Asset Stockpile will be created. The May 5 deadline marks 60 days when the Treasury Secretary must provide an assessment on this matter. A positive decision could tighten the available BTC supply and potentially drive up prices.
Fed's Interest Rate Decision
On May 7, market attention will turn to the Fed's interest rate decision. It is expected that rates will remain in the 4.25%-4.50% range. Any hints at possible changes may lead to volatility in the crypto market.
Ethereum's Pectra Upgrade and Economic Events
The Ethereum Pectra upgrade went live on May 7, following delays on testnets. The upgrade increases the maximum validator stake to 2048 ETH. Additionally, events such as Sonic Summit and Consensus scheduled for May could influence the market.
May 2025 appears promising for the crypto market due to key events and upgrades. Investors should closely monitor news to predict price changes.
