BREAKING: US CPI comes in lower than expected — Are rate cuts coming?

The latest inflation report just dropped…

And it’s better than expected!

The good news? This softer inflation print has fuelled expectations for rate cuts later this year.

(Which in case you didn’t know is extremely bullish for risk assets such as Bitcoin and crypto)

The probability of a May rate cut has surged to 28.9% - over 3x higher than last month.

While expectations for three cuts by year-end have jumped over 5x to 32.5%.

And four cuts have skyrocketed from just 1% all the way up to 21%.

So how’d the markets react to this news?

But here’s the problem…

Despite the positive CPI report, Bitcoin and crypto failed to sustain their gains.

Why?

Macro uncertainty is still front and centre…

What’s Next?

All eyes are now on the Fed’s March 19 meeting. (Their next rate cut decision) 👀

While a rate cut isn’t expected at this meeting (current odds: 3%), Jerome Powell’s commentary will be critical.

If Powell signals a sooner than expected pivot, we could see the floodgates open for risk assets. 🌊

For now, macro remains in control.

The race to secure Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset is now officially underway.

Nation-state FOMO has now begun and with Bitcoin’s supply locked at 21M, the path to 7 figures could happen sooner than anyone expects.

That’s the latest from VanEck’s Head of Digital Asset Research, Matthew Sigel.

In Sigel’s latest interview he laid out 3 key factors that could push Bitcoin to $1M per coin within 2 years:

How fast could this happen?

Sigel believes that if multiple governments announce purchases, Bitcoin’s illiquid supply would create a supply shock, triggering a rapid price spike.

A $1M Bitcoin within 24 months? It’s aggressive - but not impossible.

3 key questions to ponder:

The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve may have just changed the game.

VanEck thinks nation-state FOMO is inevitable - and the price action could be violent.

It’s time for another look at Ethereum’s supply side dynamics.

Today we’ll be focusing on the amount of Ethereum currently being staked.

Quick Note: Ethereum staking involves locking up ETH to support the blockchain’s security. In return, users earn rewards for staking.

If you’d like to learn more about staking, check out this article.

As of today, 58,291,792 ETH is staked.

That’s an increase of 594,706 Ethereum in just the past two weeks. (~$1.13 billion at today’s prices)

And yes, this marks yet another all-time high. (This metric literally sets a new record daily.)

Here’s the crazy part though…

Staked Ethereum accounts for 49.28% of the entire circulating supply.

Nearly half of Ethereum’s supply is in the hands of long-term holders - investors who aren’t looking to sell anytime soon.

Despite weak price action, these holders remain locked in. 💪

With so much ETH taken off the market, supply is tightening fast.

Setting the stage for a potential supply squeeze.
