Aleng takes you to see the major events in the crypto world this week (5.12-5.18)

1. On the evening of May 13 at 8:30 PM, the U.S. April CPI month-on-month will be announced, which may affect market sentiment. CPI is a key indicator of inflation. Research shows that if CPI is higher than expected, it may strengthen the dollar and depress the prices of risk assets (such as cryptocurrencies); if lower than expected, it may boost market expectations for a Federal Reserve interest rate cut, which is favorable for the crypto market. #CPI数据

2. On the evening of May 15 at 8:30 PM, U.S. April retail sales month-on-month will be released, and investors need to pay attention to the strength of the data. Retail sales reflect consumer spending and are an important indicator of economic health. Strong data may indicate a robust economy, reducing expectations for interest rate cuts, which would be unfavorable for cryptocurrencies; weak data may increase expectations for interest rate cuts, which would be favorable for risk assets.

3. Canadian Cryptocurrency Week (May 11-17) and Consensus 2025 (May 14-16) will be held in Toronto, attracting industry attention.

4. The Aptos token unlock will occur on May 15, potentially triggering short-term price fluctuations.

5. The U.S. SEC will hold a roundtable discussion on tokenization. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins will deliver a keynote speech on asset tokenization on May 12. On the same day, the SEC will hold a roundtable discussion titled "Tokenization: On-Chain Assets - The Intersection of Traditional Finance and Decentralized Finance." $BTC
