Bitcoin dropped as it became clear that inflation was worse than expected in January.

Bitcoin dropped as consumer prices rose more than expected last month, indicating the pace of inflation accelerated in January after running hotter over the previous three months.The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 3% in the 12 months through January, the <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.nr0.htm" rel="nofollow">Bureau of Labor Statistics</a> (BLS) said Wednesday. Economists expected the index, which tracks price changes across a broad range of goods and services, to show a 2.9% annual increase. In September, annual inflation had cooled to 2.4%, per the BLS.The <a href="https://decrypt.co/resources/what-is-bitcoin-four-minute-instant-guide-explainer" rel="nofollow">Bitcoin price</a> dropped to <a href="https://decrypt.co/price/bitcoin" rel="nofollow">$94,250</a> on the back of Wednesday’s CPI print, diving 2.3% in 15 minutes. The price of <a href="https://decrypt.co/resources/what-is-ethereum-quickly-explained-four-minute-guide" rel="nofollow">Ethereum</a> and <a href="https://decrypt.co/resources/what-is-solana-a-scalable-decentralized-network-for-dapps" rel="nofollow">Solana</a> also fell to <a href="https://decrypt.co/price/ethereum" rel="nofollow">$2,600</a> and <a href="https://decrypt.co/price/solana" rel="nofollow">$193</a>, respectively, according to CoinGecko data.Stripping out volatile food and energy prices, so-called core inflation ticked up to to 3.3% in January after showing a 3.2% increase in the 12 months through December. Used to gauge underlying inflation trends, the measure came in slightly hotter economists expected.Bitcoin’s price boomed as the Federal Reserve’s benchmark interest rate was lowered last year from a 23-year high to a target range of 4.25% to 4.50%. At their latest policy meeting, however, Fed officials decided not to cut, <a href="https://decrypt.co/303427/bitcoin-price-dips-spikes-fed-skips-rate-cut-trump" rel="nofollow">standing by</a> a relatively cautious stance last month.During the Fed’s December policy meeting, officials <a href="https://decrypt.co/300061/fed-inflation-tough-tame-under-bitcoin-friendly-trump" rel="nofollow">signaled</a> that they are monitoring potential shifts in trade and immigration policy as a potential barrier to restoring 2% price stability. Speaking yesterday before Congress for the first time since President Donald Trump’s inauguration, Fed Chair Jerome Powell was peppered on Tuesday with questions regarding Trump’s trade war.“It's not the Fed's job to make or comment on tariff policy,” Powell said. “[The Fed’s job] is to try to react to it in a thoughtful, sensible way.”Powell maintained that the U.S. central bank is prepared to respond if inflation cools or the labor market weakens. But the economy remains in solid shape, he said, and the Fed does “not need to be in a hurry to adjust” interest rates, given last year’s cuts.Less than two weeks ago, the Commerce Department reported an increase in its Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index—<a href="https://www.bea.gov/news/2025/personal-income-and-outlays-december-2024" rel="nofollow">indicating</a> the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge rose 2.6% annually in December, accelerating from 2.4% the month before.Risk assets like stocks and crypto tend to thrive amid lower interest rates, which encourage borrowing and spending. At the same time, they can contribute to inflation.At this point, market participants have grown doubtful that the Fed will cut rates very much at all in 2025. Traders on Wednesday penciled in a more than 50% chance that the Fed delivers just one 25-basis-point rate cut this year, or none at all, according to <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html" rel="nofollow">CME FedWatch</a>.Still, the Fed won’t conduct its next policy meeting until mid-March. That leaves plenty of time for more data between Wednesday’s inflation print and Fed officials’ next move.Edited by <a href="https://decrypt.co/author/stacy" rel="nofollow">Stacy Elliott</a>.

Bitcoin, Ethereum Drop as US Reports Inflation Rose to 3% in January

比特币下跌,因为1月份通胀情况比预期更糟。

比特币价格下跌,因为上个月消费者价格上涨幅度超出预期,表明通胀速度在前三个月高涨后在1月加速。劳工统计局数据显示,消费者价格指数在过去12个月内上涨3%。经济学家预计该指数,即跟踪一系列商品和服务价格变化的指数,将年增2.9%。去年9月,年度通胀率已降至2.4%。比特币价格在周三的CPI数据公布后下跌至94,250美元,15分钟内下跌2.3%。Ethereum和Solana的价格也分别下跌至2,600美元和193美元。剔除波动性较大的食品和能源价格后的核心通胀率在1月上升至3.3%,高于12月的3.2%。这一衡量基础通胀趋势的指标略高于预期。随着联储局基准利率从23年高位降至4.25%-4.50%的目标区间,比特币价格曾大涨。但在最近的政策会议上,联储官员决定不再降息,维持相对谨慎的立场。在12月的政策会议上,联储官员表示,他们正在监测贸易和移民政策的潜在变化,这可能成为恢复2%价格稳定的障碍。在特朗普就职后首次出席国会听证会时,鲍威尔被问及特朗普的贸易战。他表示,制定关税政策不是联储的职责,联储的工作是以周到、明智的方式应对。鲍威尔表示,如果通胀降温或就业市场疲软,联储准备做出反应。但他说,鉴于去年的降息,经济仍然保持良好状态,联储"无需急于调整"利率。不到两周前,商务部报告显示,个人消费支出价格指数上升,表明联储首选的通胀指标在12月同比上涨2.6%,高于前一个月的2.4%。股票和加密货币等风险资产在利率较低时往往表现良好,因为这鼓励借贷和消费。但同时也可能加剧通胀。目前,市场参与者对联储今年大幅降息的可能性越来越怀疑。交易员预计,联储今年最多只会降25个基点的利率,或根本不会降息。不过,联储要到3月中旬才开下一次政策会议,届时可能会有更多数据出台,影响联储的下一步动作。
