Crypto analyst The DeFi Investor shared notable trends for the coming week. Both ecosystem-based events and macroeconomic headlines can increase market volatility, the analyst said.
First of all, Ethereum has a big event coming up. ETHDenver, known as the largest developer conference focused on the Ethereum ecosystem, kicks off on February 18th.
In the Jupiter ecosystem, a proposal to completely stop token ejection is scheduled to be put to a vote on February 17th.
On the Bitcoin side, all eyes are on February 20th. Today is seen as the next big day for a possible decision by US President Donald Trump on tariffs. It added that the potential decision could affect not just Bitcoin but the risk asset market as a whole.
On the Hyperliquid (HYPE) front, there is speculation that a second airdrop could be announced on February 18th. However, The DeFi Investor says such an announcement is unlikely.
Meanwhile, it was stated that Lighter is preparing to allow the use of a tokenized version of the LLP vault as transaction collateral.
On the Fluid side, a new vault called “Lite USD” will be launched soon. The product is said to offer automated yield farming strategies.
Starting a new project is also on the agenda this week. It has been announced that the public sale of Flying Tulip (FT) tokens will begin on February 16th, and the privacy-focused crypto infrastructure project Zama City is scheduled to announce its 2026 roadmap on February 19th.
On the macroeconomic front, the minutes of the FOMC meeting to be released on February 18 are attracting attention. The minutes could contain clues about the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy, and are expected to increase volatility, especially in the Bitcoin and altcoin markets.
