Analysts eye Bitcoin rally after bullish CPI print

January 15, 2025 Coin Telegraph

Bitcoin

Sustained outperformance may hinge on whether US President-elect Donald Trump implements pro-crypto policies once he takes office on Jan. 20.

Cryptocurrency analysts are turning bullish after favorable US inflation data sent Bitcoin (BTC) surging some 3% amid hopes of more interest rate cuts.

On Jan. 15, the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) report tipped lower-than-expected core inflation in December, causing Bitcoin’s spot price to rally from around $96,000 to nearly $100,000. Other assets, including stocks and gold, also surged.

Futures markets assign a roughly 30% chance of the Federal Reserve, America’s central bank, cutting interest rates in March, according to CME FedWatch. Rate cuts generally benefit crypto.

“If Washington D.C. can ruin something, it likely will. And it is certainly ruining the US Dollar,” said Senator Deevers after introducing the bill.

Republican senator for Oklahoma, Dusty Deevers, has filed legislation that would allow employees and residents in the state to opt to receive payment and salaries in Bitcoin (BTC) and enable vendors to accept BTC payments.

“In a time when inflation is eroding the purchasing power of hard-working Oklahomans, Bitcoin provides a unique opportunity to protect earnings and investments,” said Deevers after introducing the Bitcoin Freedom Act on Jan. 8.

“As Bitcoin continues to rise and the value of the dollar continues to be printed away in Washington D.C., Oklahoma must act to protect our people,” he added.

Bitcoin ‘debasement trade’ is here to stay: JPMorgan

January 6, 2025 Coin Telegraph

Bitcoin

Investors are boosting Bitcoin allocations as a hedge against geopolitical uncertainty, the bank said.

The so-called “debasement trade” into gold and Bitcoin (BTC) is “here to stay” as investors brace for persistent geopolitical uncertainty, according to a Jan. 3 research note by JPMorgan shared with Cointelegraph.

Gold and BTC “appear to have become more important components of investors’ portfolios structurally” as they increasingly seek to hedge against geopolitical risk and inflation, the bank said, citing the “record capital inflow into crypto markets in 2024.”

The debasement trade refers to increasing demand for gold and BTC due to factors ranging from “structurally higher geopolitical uncertainty since 2022, to persistent high uncertainty about the longer-term inflation backdrop, to concerns about ‘debt debasement’ due to persistently high government deficits across major economies,” among others, JPMorgan said.
