Here is a fresh take on those key dates, that may impact crypto most:-

•FEB 18: Release of FOMC Minutes – This behind-the-scenes look at the Fed’s latest meeting will hint at their next moves on inflation. Expect the market to react to any hawkish or dovish shifts in FOMC policy sentiment.

•FEB 20: PCE Price Index Data – As the Fed’s "go-to" inflation tracker, these numbers are massive. A hotter-than-expected report could crush hopes for early rate cuts and spark a sell-off according to Bureau of Economic Analysis updates.

•MAR 1: CLARITY Act Deadline – This is a "make or break" moment for U.S. stablecoin legislation. If lawmakers can't reach a compromise, the industry faces another long stretch of regulatory "gray area" as noted in U.S. House Committee discussions.

•MAR 18: Fed Policy Announcement – While most bet on a "hold," the actual decision and the following press conference will dictate crypto's momentum for the spring. Stay updated via the Federal Reserve’s official press page.

•JUL 1: Full MiCA Implementation – The EU’s sweeping regulatory framework officially goes into full effect. Major players like Binance and other exchanges must be fully compliant or risk losing their license to operate in the region.
