What to know:

As the war in Iran drags on like a bad reality TV show, crypto markets brace for the usual suspects: central bank speeches and blockchain upgrades. Aave’s v4 launch? Sure, why not. Akash and Casper’s hard forks? Sounds painful, but at least it’s not your back after six hours of NFT mining.

Meanwhile, Fed Governor Stephen Miran will be speaking at the Digital Asset Summit, where he’ll likely be asked if Bitcoin can buy peace in our time. Spoiler: It can’t. But hey, maybe he’ll drop a meme-worthy soundbite about “decentralized dovishness.”

Wall Street, ever the trend-followers, will dissect GameStop’s earnings. The company that turned investing into a TikTok challenge still holds 4,710 BTC. Because nothing says “financial stability” like putting your retirement fund into a meme.
