key market numbers

Catalysts landing next 7 days

Jul 29 · Fork/Swap · Impact 8.0 (HIGH)

Price: -96% vs ATH At its 3-month low 30d -19%
Sector: Smart Contract Platform 30d +4%
Why it matters: PoX-5 is a substantial protocol change, combining Clarity 6 with Bitcoin Staking and unlocking all stacked STX. Its market relevance will depend on whether these features drive lasting use, as STX sits at a three-month low after sharp recent losses.

Aug 1 · Release · Impact 8.0 (HIGH)

Price: -98% vs ATH In the lower part of its 3-month range 30d -4%
Why it matters: The Exchange Portal could give ACX holders a direct route to equity or cash, making its launch relevant for liquidity and token utility. However, ACX remains in the lower part of its range, so the market may need clear delivery before sentiment improves.

Jul 27 · Exchange · Impact 7.5 (HIGH) · PRICED IN

Price: -32% vs ATH Near its 3-month highs 30d +26%
Why it matters: Upbit’s KRW, BTC, and USDT markets broaden GEOD access, but the coin is already near its three-month highs after a 32% weekly rise. Much of the listing reaction may be reflected, leaving trading activity after launch to determine its added impact.

Jul 27 · Exchange · Impact 7.0 (MEDIUM) · PRICED IN

Price: -48% vs ATH In the upper part of its 3-month range 30d +666%
Why it matters: Bithumb’s KRW listing expands BANK access, but the token is already up 666% over 30 days and sits in the upper part of its range. The flat weekly performance suggests the listing may need fresh demand to extend its recent advance.

Jul 28 · Release · Impact 6.5 (MEDIUM)

Price: -85% vs ATH Mid-range over 3 months 30d +18%
Sector: Layer 1 (L1) 30d +7%
Why it matters: Zcashd’s retirement with NU6.3 makes the upgrade an important network transition, as remaining forks will lose consensus. ZEC sits mid-range after a strong month but a weak week, so the market signal may depend more on a smooth activation than on the announcement alone.

more events to watch

Aug 5 - INJ: August Community Buyback - MEDIUM. Injective’s August buyback creates a defined demand event worth more than $162,000, though its market effect is hard to judge from the amount alone. INJ is in the lower part of its range after a 10% weekly decline, despite firmer Layer 1 momentum.
Aug 10 - VELVET: Airdrop Distribution - MEDIUM. Velvet’s distribution of 2.7M VELVET gives users a clear near-term token event, with allocations shaped by gem pool results. The token is at a three-month low after a 67% monthly fall, so market relevance will depend on how recipients respond after distribution.
Aug 12 - AVNT: V2 Launch - MEDIUM. Avantis V2 adds new trading features and mobile, desktop, and native app access, giving the launch clear product relevance. With AVNT at a three-month low after recent declines, the market may focus on actual use rather than the feature list alone.
