Complete economic calendar of events from December 15 to 21, 2025, that could impact the cryptocurrency market.

The week follows the meeting of the U.S. Federal Reserve and is a phase of "digesting" the regulator's decision by the markets. Important data for the next meeting will be released on Wednesday (primarily regarding the U.S. labor market) and on Friday (primarily regarding inflation in the U.S.).

Also VERY important for the market (at least at the level of expectations) - data from Japan. The central bank there may significantly raise the interest rate. And market players are already pricing in the risk of a dump. Because they remember August 2024. Subjectively - it's unlikely there will be a dump. Rather, we are currently falling on expectations.
