The week will be dominated by earnings reports from crypto-related companies, though the repercussions of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on tariffs on Friday are also likely to ripple through markets.
Miners including MARA Holdings (MARA) and Hut 8 (HUT) are on the roster, and will fuel the conversation over diversification into high-performance computing centers and support for AI. Also on the AI front, Nvidia (NVDA), a maker of chips for the AI industry and the world's largest publicly traded company by market capitalization, reports earnings on Wednesday.
