On top of the ISO 20022 implementation, this “Crypto Week” will also see Congress debate and potentially vote on two other major bills: the GENIUS Act for stablecoins and the CLARITY Act for market structure. There will also be a key hearing on crypto taxation on Wednesday.

Analysts believe this will have a direct impact on the price and adoption of XRP, Stellar (XLM), Algorand (ALGO), Quant (QNT), and Cardano (ADA). These specific blockchain protocols were designed to be compatible with the ISO 20022 format, which allows them to “plug into” this new era of financial interoperability and could significantly boost their use by traditional banks and financial institutions.

The Market Backdrop: Bitcoin at a New All-Time High

Despite the potential significance of this week‘s upcoming activities, the crypto analyst focused on the long-term picture. According to him, Bitcoin is approaching one target on the upside, and traders need to pay close attention to the cryptocurrency’s price behavior. He thinks anywhere between $130,000 and $300,000 would be an ideal target for Bitcoin, not minding the wide range of the target area.
