Crypto might seem like a fun novelty to many, but to millions of people it is the only escape from a rapidly inflating local currency.
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve in the US plans to continue rising interest rates, making it harder for the crypto industry to gain back its momentum. Strategists belonging to the Bank of America wrote that “the Fed isn’t done hiking until the data says so.”
Based on inflation figures, the Feds may consider slowing down liquidity-tightening activities. However, inflation mitigation measures are not going to pause soon enough. Hence, investors must be prepared for a volatile cryptocurrency market for at least a while.
