Here’s what to keep on your radar: --- 🔒 Token Unlocks - Dec 28 – JUP Token Unlock Jupiter (JUP) will unlock 53.47 million tokens, valued at approximately $10 million, representing 1.73% of its circulating supply. --- 📊 US Economic Data Release - Dec 23 — Delayed GDP Report Next week will be a relatively quiet one on the economic data front due to the holiday season. That said, we still have the US GDP report on the agenda, which will provide the first official reading of Q3 economic growth, delayed earlier this year due to the government shutdown. Markets will be watching closely for signs of slowing momentum, as a weaker-than-expected print could reinforce expectations of further policy easing, while a stronger reading may support the case for the Fed to remain cautious. --- That’s all for next week’s action! Keep an eye on these events, and we’ll be back with more updates in the next roundup!
