U.S. CPI Data Signals Lower Inflation in July, Potentially Affecting Crypto Markets

The U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) for July 2025 showed a lower-than-expected inflation rate of 2.7%, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. This surprising result may impact the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decisions, potentially contributing to a positive short-term boost for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Experts believe that a decrease in inflation could lead to a delay in interest rate hikes from the Fed, encouraging investment in riskier assets.
