The week of Aug. 3 to Aug. 9 is packed with events that could draw attention across crypto, mining and broader risk markets. On the corporate side, American Bitcoin, Hut 8, SpaceX and Circle are all scheduled to release quarterly results, with several management calls and webcasts set alongside the filings. Operational changes are also due, including Zapper’s full shutdown, Ctrl Wallet’s closure, LayerZero’s retirement of its v1 relayer, and Upbit’s delisting of AQT and AERGO. Policy and macro are central to the calendar as well. In Washington, negotiations around the CLARITY Act and a bipartisan ethics counterproposal are approaching an Aug. 7 deadline before the Senate recess, with the bill still needing 60 votes for a full Senate vote. The U.S. July nonfarm payrolls report is also due on Aug. 7, covering unemployment, payroll growth and wage data. Elsewhere, SpaceX’s first major stock unlock is expected on Aug. 6 following its earnings release, Bitcoin News says BIP-110 mandatory signaling may start around Aug. 8, and RippleX says XRP Ledger’s next xrpld 3.3.0 release is planned for next week with five new features for validators.
