Economic Indicator from U.S. Employment Data May Indicate Influence on Cryptocurrency Markets
In the latest U.S. jobs report, the economy added only 73,000 jobs—the weakest gain in over two years—with the unemployment rate rising to 4.2%. This report has set off a series of significant market reactions, heightening recession fears and pushing markets, including cryptocurrencies, lower initially due to heightened risk aversion [1][2][4].
The weak labor data has increased the probability of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut to over 80% for the September meeting, up from about 40% previously. From a Federal Reserve policy perspective, the slower job growth and rising unemployment are seen as signs of economic slowdown, increasing pressure on the Fed to consider cutting rates to stimulate growth [1][2][4].
The report’s downward revisions to prior months' jobs numbers reinforce this narrative, signaling the labor market is less robust than previously thought. This slowdown in job growth could influence Federal Reserve rate decisions, as the Fed grapples with the implications of a potentially cooling economy [1][2].

Meanwhile, in the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin's 24-hour trading volume reached $79.30 billion, showing a 10.75% change. Bitcoin (BTC) is currently valued at $114,382.25 with a market cap of around $2.28 trillion [5]. Despite the initial selloff, BTC has seen an increase of 18.67% over the last 90 days [5].
Other notable events in the crypto space include the launch of Binance's web-based decentralized wallet for on-chain trading, OKX launching USELESSUSDT and NEWTUSDT perpetual contracts, and the SEC approving new crypto ETF standards [6].
