[Ethereum’s Glamsterdam upgrade to be activated on Sepolia around Oct 6; FOMC decision on Oct 29 approaching]

The Ethereum Glamsterdam upgrade plan will be activated on the Sepolia testnet on October 6, while the October 29 Federal Reserve FOMC interest rate decision will become one of the most crucial macro milestones for this month’s crypto market. The U.S. September nonfarm payrolls released on October 2, together with CPI data on October 14, will jointly shape expectations for Federal Reserve policy ahead of the October 8 meeting minutes and the October 29 decision, directly affecting the valuation environment for risk assets such as ETH. The release of the official Bitcoin Core v32 stable version on October 10 involves an underlying protocol upgrade, making subsequent ecosystem compatibility worth watching. Meanwhile, the Oct 7 Token2049 Singapore and the Oct 16 Solana Accelerate China leg reflect the industry’s ongoing expansion in the Asian market. With the market currently entering a period of intensive macro data releases, short-term volatility in ETH and BTC will be highly coupled with the cadence of nonfarm payrolls, CPI, and the FOMC schedule. The progress of Sepolia network activation and the deployment details of Bitcoin Core v32 are the most valuable technical variables to track in the near term.
