Next week, there are several important events to watch in the crypto market. Riot Platforms, one of the largest Bitcoin miners, will release their earnings report alongside Core Scientific on Monday. These two companies are interesting to observe because they are not only focused on mining but are also expanding into the AI sector by leveraging their data center infrastructure.

What’s notable is that Core Scientific was once offered a $9 billion acquisition deal, but that deal failed last month. Now, we can see how much their mining operations contribute to their total revenue. Riot is a major player in the industry, and their performance could serve as an indicator of the overall health of the mining sector.

Additionally, the US employment report for February will be released this week. Consensus estimates suggest the world’s largest economy added around 60,000 non-farm jobs. This data is important because it could influence overall market sentiment for digital assets. Bitcoin’s price has remained in the range of $65,000 to $73,000 over the past few weeks, although market dynamics are increasingly dependent on institutional buyers.

On the macro side, we also need to monitor the ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. This could be a factor affecting traders’ risk appetite. Meanwhile, there are also several key events in the crypto ecosystem worth tracking, such as token unlocks and governance votes from various DAOs.

Ethena will unlock 2.24 percent of their supply, worth $18.35 million, on March 5, while Hyperliquid will unlock 2.72 percent of their supply, worth approximately $288 million, the day after. Mantra will also perform a token split 1-for-4 this week as part of their chain upgrade from v6 to v7.

There are also several governance votes ongoing from major DAOs like Uniswap, GMX, and Decentraland, discussing changes to leadership structure and protocols. If you’re interested in tracking all these events, you can monitor them directly on Gate for real-time data and updated charts.
