Crypto Week Ahead: FTX Payouts, U.S. Jobs Report, and Arbitrum ETH Vote – Sept. 29, 2025
This week, crypto markets will navigate a mix of macroeconomic signals and on-chain developments.
Investors are focused on Friday’s U.S. nonfarm payrolls report, with forecasts calling for a 39,000 increase, a key measure of economic health likely to influence cryptocurrencies and other risk assets.
Creditors of the bankrupt exchange FTX will receive the third tranche of payouts totaling $1.6 billion, continuing the long-running distribution from the 2021 collapse.
Meanwhile, Arbitrum, the largest Ethereum layer-2 network, is voting on deploying its idle ETH holdings ($4,115.05) to earn staking rewards, a move that could impact network activity.
With macro trends and blockchain developments converging, the week ahead is set to be closely watched by investors and traders.
