Bitcoin has risen approximately 1% over the past week and is currently trading at $85,268. Among altcoins, Ethereum, Solana, and Tron recorded gains, while $XRP, HYPE, and Dogecoin declined.
The new week, however, brings a dense slate of economic developments and altcoin events. The day-by-day calendar below, compiled by Bitcoinsistemi.com, outlines the key dates and times (all times are given in UTC+3 Turkish time). For readers tracking macro drivers, the Federal Reserve meeting minutes and the US jobless claims print are the two entries most directly tied to the rate-expectation theme that shaped last week's trading.
Monday, October 5
- $ENA — StablecoinX $ENA assets will be permanently unlocked.
- NIL — The Blacklight Ethereum L1 network mainnet launch is underway.
- STRK — Starknet v0.14.4 will be released.
- $ENA — Ethereum will experience a major token unlock.
- IP — Coinbase will support the migration of DATA tokens from IP.
Token unlock events like these move previously locked tokens into circulating supply, which is why unlock calendars are a staple of crypto market tracking.
Tuesday, October 6
- ZEC — NU7 testnet activation will take place.
- STG — Binance will support the integration of the ZRO token from STG.
- ETH — Ethereum's Glamsterdam network activation on the Sepolia testnet is planned.
- MON — Monad had made a post hinting that it is preparing to launch its privacy services.
Sepolia is one of Ethereum's public testnets, where upgrades such as Glamsterdam are validated before any mainnet rollout.
Wednesday, October 7
- INJ — Stockdrop requests will come to an end.
- APT — The first testnet reset will take place.
- 21:00 — Federal Reserve meeting minutes will be released.
Fed minutes are parsed for insight into the committee's thinking on interest rates, the policy area that anchored last week's market reaction.
Thursday, October 8
- RONIN — The Karst network update will be performed.
- $XRP — Evernorth, a company specializing in the $XRP treasury, will trade on Nasdaq under the symbol XRPN.
- 15:30 — US Initial Jobless Claims (Expected: 200k, Previous: 197k)
The jobless claims report is a high-frequency labor-market indicator investors routinely watch for hints on the Fed's policy outlook, while Evernorth's Nasdaq listing ties an $XRP treasury strategy to traditional equity-market infrastructure.
Friday, October 9
- The application period for the LAPTOP airdrop has ended, and all unclaimed tokens will be burned.
