🔥🔥🔥🔥🚀🚀🚀🚀📉Next Week in Crypto: Key Events to Watch (May 19th - May 25th, 2025) 🗓

Next week features a suit of important events — from a major token unlock to important economic data and Solana’s conference. Here’s what to keep on your radar:

--

🔒 Token Unlocks #TokenUnlock

- May 19 – PYTH Unlock

Pyth Network (PYTH) will unlock 2.13 billion tokens, valued at approximately $330 million, representing 58.62% of its circulating supply.

📊 US Economic Data Release

- May 22 — Initial Jobless Claims

With both CPI and PPI data coming in below expectations this week, fears of a tariff-driven resurgence in inflation have eased. Still, markets are pricing in over a 90% chance of a pause at the Fed’s June meeting, according to the CME FedWatch Tool.

Looking ahead, attention turns to next week’s Weekly Initial Jobless Claims report. While typically not a major market mover, a lower-than-expected print would signal ongoing labour market resilience, reinforcing the case for fewer rate cuts in 2025 — a backdrop that could weigh on risk appetite. Conversely, a rise in claims would suggest softening conditions, likely increasing the odds of cuts and offering a bullish tailwind for markets.
