Major Crypto Events This Week

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will hold debates, the US will publish fresh CPI data, and Binance will list the POL token – we tell you about the main events of this week, September 9-15, in one article.

Token unlocks – all week long

The week that has begun once again pleases investors with a new batch of large unlocks, which the community always awaits with great interest.

The most notable will be the unlocking of 64 million Starknet tokens (STRK).

Trump vs. Harris Debate – September 10

This Tuesday, there will be a debate between US presidential candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.

As both candidates are seeking to engage with crypto industry leaders and are actively developing policies on digital asset regulation, we can expect market reaction to their meeting.

PolitiFi tokens have already shown volatility. According to CoinGecko, the market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies in this segment has grown by almost 8% in the last 24 hours. In anticipation of the debate, some Trump-related tokens have already soared by tens of percent.

Meanwhile, Kamala Harris is also gaining popularity among crypto community members. At the time of writing, her chances of winning are only 6% lower than Trump’s. according to Polymarket.

US CPI Data – September 11

This Wednesday, at 15:30 Moscow time, the US will share fresh data on the current state of the consumer price index (CPI) in the country.

The CPI is the main measure of inflation for the U.S. economy. It takes into account the goods that consumers use every day and compares their prices from year to year.

The July core CPI is forecast to be at 3.0% y/y, which is the same level as in June. This is a fairly positive signal, as it is believed that the higher the US consumer price index, the more pressure there will be on the BTC price.

“Bitcoin has made a significant rebound and reached $54,800 – $55,200. I don’t know if it can maintain this pace. It’s CPI week, another important indicator. I expect that we will first see a drop below $53K, and then an increase. If BTC breaks above $56K, the forecast will be cancelled,” wrote renowned analyst Michael van de Poppe.

Binance to List POL – September 13

This Friday, the world’s largest crypto exchange Binance will list POL tokens. As a reminder, as part of the latest Polygon update, the familiar MATIC tokens were replaced by new assets under the POL ticker.

The goal of this upgrade is to improve network flexibility and expand the token’s features. It is also known that POL will play a key role in the Polygon 2.0 roadmap, supporting staking and gas features in its ecosystem.

Against the backdrop of all the news, market interest in the updated token has been growing lately. Thus, over the past 24 hours, the asset price has risen by more than 3%. As of the time of writing this material, POL is trading at $0.3801.

Conclusions

This week we are expecting several important events at once: token unlocks and the listing of POL on Binance. All of them are capable of raising the mood of the crypto market.

However, investors and traders will, as always, have to keep a close eye on the US market this week. The release of inflation data in the country, as well as the Trump-Harris debate, could trigger a surge in market volatility, especially in the PolitiFi token segment.
