Rate Hold, Inflation Prints and an ETF Deadline Shape Crypto's Week

Two US inflation reports, a Solana staking fund's regulatory deadline and a token cliff for Allora all land inside one week, and the Federal Reserve's own account of its last decision sits underneath them. The Fed held its target range on 28 October, and its statement shows two members wanted a hike instead.

• This week pairs two US inflation releases with an SEC decision deadline on a Solana staking fund and Allora's backer and contributor token cliff.
• The Federal Reserve kept its target range at 3.75 to 4 percent on 28 October, in a 10 to 2 vote, its statement shows.
• October CPI is scheduled for 10 November and the PPI for 13 November, both at 8:30 a.m. ET, per the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The Fed Held, and Two Members Wanted a Hike

Most of what we know about the Fed's 28 October decision comes straight from the committee's statement, and it is short. "The Committee decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 3-3/4 to 4 percent," it reads, approved by a 10 to 2 vote.

The two dissenters are named. Lisa D. Cook and Beth M. Hammack voted against the action, preferring to raise the target range by a quarter point. That is a hold with an argument attached, not a unanimous pause.

Two Inflation Prints Land Before the Weekend

The Bureau of Labor Statistics has October CPI set for 10 November at 8:30 a.m. ET, and the PPI for 13 November at the same time. Both are on the agency's published release schedules, so the dates are fixed rather than forecast.

One inflation input is already in the open. Nonfarm payrolls rose by 165,000 in October and the unemployment rate changed little at 4.1 percent, the BLS said on 6 November.

VanEck's JitoSOL Trust Faces a 15 November Deadline

The fund behind the deadline is a Nasdaq listing. Nasdaq filed the proposal for the VanEck JitoSOL ETF on 10 March 2026, and the trust would hold JitoSOL, which the filing describes as a liquid staking token that evidences ownership of deposited Solana and any staking rewards that accrue to that SOL.

Put plainly, the fund would hold Solana that stays staked and keeps earning, rather than idle SOL. The SEC's deadline to rule falls on 15 November 2026, with no further extension, and a rejection is possible.

Allora's Cliff Releases 160.22 Million ALLO

Tokenomist lists Allora's next unlock for 11 November 2026, going to Early Backers and Core Contributors. The cliff releases 160.22 million ALLO in total, split into 102.47 million for early backers and 57.75 million for core contributors, which is 33 percent of those allocations.

A cliff is a single release that ends a lock-up, and after it the rest usually drips out. Here the remaining 67 percent vests linearly over 24 months, through late 2028. Allora's circulating supply stands at 420,873,718 tokens against a maximum of 1,000,000,000, and ALLO traded near $0.15, about 10 percent lower over the week before the release.

Coinbase Suspends NEON and Syndicate on 16 November

The exchange move is on Coinbase's own status page. Coinbase will suspend trading for Neon EVM (NEON) and Syndicate (SYND) on 16 November 2026, on or around 2 p.m. ET. The suspension covers Coinbase.com Simple and Advanced Trade, Coinbase Exchange and Coinbase Prime.

Unlock Trackers List More Than Projects Have Confirmed

Not everything on this week's calendar is nailed down. Aztec (13 November) and Connex (15 November) appear on Tokenomist schedule pages, but no project announcement confirms those figures, and the Connex page carries a flag for AI-listed, estimated data. A separate tracker lists Starknet and Pieverse releases on 14 and 15 November that could not be checked against the projects.

The week's total also depends on scope. Reported sums run from more than $103 million of scheduled cliff unlocks to more than $623.9 million across all unlocks, and neither is a primary record.

The first data point to watch lands on 10 November at 8:30 a.m. ET, when October CPI is due.
