‘Hundreds Of Billions, If Not Trillions’ Set To Flow Into Bitcoin As US Inflation Hits 7% For First Time In Nearly 40 Years

U.S inflation rate just hit 7% — the highest in 40 years. The latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report spurred a >3% and 4.5% rebound in price value for Bitcoin and Ethereum, moving their unit value above to $43,000 and $3,300. 

Aínda que as tendencias pasadas suxiren que o mercado de ouro de 11 billóns de dólares é a mellor opción para unha cobertura sólida contra a devaluación do dólar, a resposta do mercado criptográfico á inflación actual revela a vontade de moitos de recorrer ás criptomoedas nesta ocasión.

This is especially true for many middle-to-high income citizens looking to protect their cash balances and near-liquid investments against value erosion. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the likes with over 160% value growth in 2021, now stand a better chance as a suitable alternative against fiat value loss for the average American investor.

O último gráfico do Índice de Prezos ao Consumidor revela a enerxía (33.3%) como a principal causa da inflación, seguida da vivenda (4.1%), os prezos dos alimentos (>6%), os vehículos e os servizos médicos (>2%). Estados Unidos experimentou unha crecente escaseza de gasolina desde que Biden pechou a exploración local en favor da importación.

A Fed propón medidas de control austeras

The US Federal Reserve System disclosed in November that it expected a further increase and has already earmarked steps to put such a surge in check. Key among these steps is the hiking of interest rates to cut back on increased borrowing during the period.

O organismo regulador tamén mencionou que pode dispoñer dunha parte importante de bonos do goberno por un valor de > 8 billóns de dólares para eliminar o exceso de fondos do público. 

A Fed, con todo, mantivo repetidamente que as criptomoedas son activos de risco. Coa posibilidade de que os cidadáns se trasladen aos activos criptográficos, pode optar por liberar as súas reservas de balance, aumentando os rendementos do Tesouro e afastando os investimentos das criptomonedas.

Crypto Hedging: unha tendencia en crecemento

According to Glassnode, the latest increase brings temporary relief for Bitcoin, which has seen a drought of retail investors since last month. The current downtrend had left many recent investors anchored around the $52,000 resistance, below the water on their investment capital.

With the predicted rise in inflation rates, many like MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor who maintains that BTC Will Be a $100 Trillion Market Cap Asset have argued that Bitcoin is matured to serve as a hedge against the dollar, at par with gold.

Esta posición, cren os opositores, aínda é demasiado pronto para dicir co seu alto risco e volatilidade, o que fixo que os antigos multimillonarios a descartan como un mero activo especulativo.
