Inflation in June Was Lower Than Anticipated. Could That Support a New Crypto Bull Market?

Inflation in June came in lower than expected, with CPI falling 0.4% month over month and rising 3.5% on an annualized basis—the largest monthly decline since April 2020. The article links the print to renewed optimism for crypto, noting that Bitcoin holders were down about 49% from October 2025’s all-time high. It cautions that one data point will not trigger a full crypto bull market, but it could support conditions that central banks must eventually provide. The piece argues the Federal Reserve is unlikely to cut rates until inflation nears its 2% target, and that core CPI was 2.6% annualized and flat in June. It also cites uncertainties around July’s outlook tied to the earlier U.S.-Iran gasoline-price relief breaking down.
