Inflationary environment will push the transition to Bitcoin, other cryptocurrencies

[ad_1]

The US Federal Reserve, Bank of England, Central Bank of Norway and Reserve Bank of Australia, among others, are all revising interest rate policy this week.

Signals and movements from central banks will be closely watched by the markets as they look for other clues to diminishing asset purchases as global inflation accelerates.

The Fed is expected to announce an interest rate cut, the Bank of England an interest rate hike, Norway is expected to hint at its second rate hike of the year, and the Reserve Bank of Australia may change its forecast after letting its 3-year bond yield last week rise through the target 0.1 percent.

There is a growing consensus that we are going to tighten much faster than the markets previously anticipated.

This climate will boost Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies because with the provable limited supply cap, they constitute an inherently deflationary asset class.

Additionally, the US Federal Reserve stating that it has no intention of banning cryptocurrencies is not going unnoticed by retail and institutional investors.

That said, it is highly likely that other cryptocurrencies will have stricter regulatory oversight, but Bitcoin could be viewed differently by authorities in part due to its gold-like status.

Bitcoin is now undeniably a mainstream asset class, and most investors, in my opinion, should consider including crypto assets as part of a diversified portfolio.

Cryptocurrencies have changed the way the world handles money, does business, trades, and manages assets. Investors appreciate the intrinsic value of digital, borderless, global currencies for trade and commerce in increasingly digital economies in which businesses operate in more than one jurisdiction.

Crypto investors will be watching central banks this week amid a wave of interest rate revisions. Prices in the market remain highly volatile, but they can be expected to be positively impacted as Bitcoin and others are increasingly seen as a hedge against inflationary pressures.
