U.S. Congress returns as GENIUS comments periods close, jobs report: Crypto Week Ahead

This “Crypto Week Ahead” roundup highlights regulatory and macro catalysts likely to move digital-asset markets the week of June 1. Critical comment periods for the GENIUS Act’s stablecoin frameworks close this week (notably June 2), potentially locking in rules that will determine who may issue stablecoins, required reserves and whether yield-bearing products survive. Stablecoins hit a record $322 billion in late May, raising policy stakes. Markets will also watch U.S. jobs and inflation data (including June 5 Nonfarm Payrolls) for Fed signals, while token unlocks (e.g., Hyperliquid on June 6) and ongoing ETF flows — Bitcoin spot ETFs reportedly bled ~$1B as capital rotated into HYPE, SOL and XRP — add near-term liquidity and price pressure risks.
