Inflation Is Decreasing In The United States, Bitcoin Is Benefiting From It
The latest New York Fed survey brings a smile back to investors. While Donald Trump announces a new round of tariffs, one-year inflation expectations fall to 3%. This news is seen as a green light by the crypto market. Proof of this: the bitcoin price is gradually increasing.
In Brief
- US inflation drops to 3%. This supports the bitcoin rise around $109,000.
- Despite Trump’s new tariffs, markets remain confident and bitcoin gains 2.41%.
Bitcoin flirts with $109,000 thanks to inflation pullback
Good news for the crypto market! Fears related to inflation are easing in the United States . According to the study published Tuesday by the New York Fed, Americans expect price increases to be limited to 3% within one year (compared to 3.2% the previous month).
This level is lower than projections and close to pre-Trump standards. This immediately impacted the bitcoin price. It shows a slight increase of 0.74% in the last 24 hours. Currently, BTC is trading between $107,499 and $109,198. Its price remains firmly above $108,000.
That’s not all! Over a 7-day period, bitcoin also gained 2.41%. According to CoinMarketCap, its market capitalization reached $2.16 trillion.
Trump revives tariffs, but markets still bet on bitcoin
On Monday, Donald Trump published official copies of his tariff increase letters. In principle, the new taxes will take effect on August 1st. That said, financial markets reacted better than expected. Inflation measured by the CPI index was actually 2.4% in May. It is thus below the expected 2.6% threshold.
Result: despite Trump’s announcement, investors favor bitcoin as a safe haven. Trading volumes have remained stable at $45.2 billion, which is proof. Even futures contracts hardly moved. This indicates controlled volatility!
Macro signals in the United States therefore appear encouraging for bitcoin, even amid political uncertainty. If inflation continues to decrease, the cryptocurrency could reach a new milestone. Story to follow…

Goldman Sachs believes that the AI investment cycle is currently in the "trough of disillusionment," but this is not the first time. The core contradiction lies in the fact that the business models of new cloud computing providers are highly dependent on end-user returns from AI spending, while currently "there are basically zero companies that can attribute profits to AI." Social Capital founder Palihapitiya has clearly defined an 18-month key window, during which the market will decide which AI business models are sustainable and which are not.
Anthropic's Core Concern: Revenue Can Be Withdrawn at Any Time, but Computing Power Costs Are Locked in for up to 20 Years
Zheshang Securities believes that Anthropic's revenue is mainly based on usage-based billing, with remaining performance obligations covering only about 5.1 months of annualized revenue, while compute power costs are already locked in with $895.4 billion in irrevocable commitments, some extending as far as 2045. Revenues can be reduced at any time, but costs are non-exitable, creating a highly asymmetric maturity gap between the two—this is the company's real core constraint.
Triple Pressure from the Federal Reserve, Treasury, and Congress; Goldman Sachs: Liquidity Crisis May Occur in 2027
Goldman Sachs warns that the reserve ratio of bank assets has dropped to around 11%, only slightly above the crisis trough of 2019. In the second half of 2027, a deadlock in debt ceiling negotiations will force the Treasury to rebuild the TGA, triggering a "perfect storm" of a sharp drop in reserves and a surge in T-bill supply; combined with stalled money market fund buying, this will create a huge liquidity black hole. The Federal Reserve could be forced into the awkward position of lowering interest rates and launching large-scale bond purchases to rescue the market.
