Hernandez added that the relaxation of policies in other countries could inject liquidity into the world markets, part of which could go to crypto, in particular Bitcoin, supporting its price. He told The Block:
In the end, the latest projections of the Federal Reserve draw up a table of an economy under tension, faced with the difficult combination of low growth and persistent inflation. This environment naturally highlights the assets capable of providing protection against these pressures.
