Circle Internet, crypto miners report earnings: Crypto Week Ahead

The week will be dominated by earnings reports from crypto-related companies, though the repercussions of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on tariffs on Friday are also likely to ripple through markets.

Miners including MARA Holdings (MARA) and Hut 8 (HUT) are on the roster, and will fuel the conversation over diversification into high-performance computing centers and support for AI. Also on the AI front, Nvidia (NVDA), a maker of chips for the AI industry and the world’s largest publicly traded company by market capitalization, reports earnings on Wednesday.

Circle Internet (CRCL), issuer of the second-largest stablecoin, USDC, is also on Wednesday’s list.

In the wider economy, a number of U.S. Federal Reserve policymakers are set to make speeches in the coming days. And don’t forget the U.S.-Iran talks, which resume on Geneva on Thursday even as both sides build up their military preparations.
