🔥 August Crypto Catalyst Map – Which Coins Will Soar?

(Analysis powered by Mansa Chain)

This August is packed with market-moving events that could reshape the crypto landscape. Smart investors will be watching these dates closely:


Aug 7 – US initial jobless claims higher than expected + Fed balance sheet tightening = liquidity squeeze.


Aug 8 – Trump’s Russia–Ukraine ceasefire deadline; no deal means geopolitical tension.


Aug 12 – US CPI inflation slightly above forecast (2.8% YoY).


Aug 14 – US Producer Price Index (PPI) data drops – wholesale inflation clue.

Aug 15 – FTX creditor distribution record date.

Aug 21–23 – Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium – Fed signals ahead.

Aug 29 – Iran nuclear deal deadline – risk of sanctions snapback.



Projected Winners:


Bitcoin (BTC) – Digital gold narrative thrives if ceasefire fails or Iran tensions spike. Expect safe-haven inflows Aug 8 & Aug 29.


Monero (XMR) & Zcash (ZEC) – Privacy coins could surge on geopolitical sanctions and capital control fears.


XRP – Cross-border payments coin poised for lift if Fed hints at policy easing during Jackson Hole.


MakerDAO (MKR) / DAI – Inflation hedging demand grows after CPI/PPI releases.


Solana (SOL) & FTT – Potential upside after Aug 15 as FTX-linked liquidity re-enters markets.


Likely Strugglers:


Ethereum (ETH) – Short-term weakness from tightening liquidity.


Memecoins (DOGE, SHIB) – Risk-off environment limits hype-driven pumps.


💡 Strategy:

Position early in BTC, XMR, and XRP ahead of geopolitical flashpoints. Consider DAI/MKR during inflation releases. Watch SOL and FTT post-FTX distribution. Stay cautious with high-volatility small caps until after Jackson Hole.

📊 Volatility will be your friend if you know where to stand when the storm hits.
