coindesk.com Jul 20, 2026

Crypto Week Ahead is a comprehensive list of what's coming up in the world of cryptocurrencies and blockchain, as well as the major macroeconomic events that will influence digital asset markets.

Crypto’s major events this week are set in Washington D.C. A House Financial Services subcommittee opens with a hearing on oversight of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency’s (OCC) comment period on proposed GENIUS Act rules extending anti-money laundering and sanctions standards to stablecoin issuers closes July 24.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (CFTC) window on 24/7 trading and perpetual-style bitcoin futures closes July 27, three months after the regulator cleared the first regulated bitcoin perpetual on Kalshi. The GENIUS Act turned one this month, and the rules built on it are still being written.

The macro calendar centers on Thursday's European Central Bank decision, with markets pricing a hold.

Traders will also be monitoring geopolitical developments and oil prices for potential clues about what markets may do next.

CEX trading volumes rose for the first time in five months in June, with spot climbing 15.3% to $1.11T and RWA perpetual volumes surging to a record $311B.
