#CryptoRoundTableRemarks **#CryptoCPIWatch: Bitcoin Holds Steady as Markets Await Inflation Data & Tokenization Trends Emerge**

Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at **$102,662** today , down 1.19% amid profit-taking near the $105K resistance level. Traders brace for the **US April CPI data** release at 20:30 UTC, which could dictate short-term momentum. A softer inflation print may reignite bullish bets on rate cuts, while a higher figure risks strengthening the dollar and pressuring crypto prices .

Meanwhile, the **SEC’s tokenization roundtable** (May 12) highlighted institutional interest in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, with BlackRock, Fidelity, and Nasdaq discussing blockchain’s transformative potential. This has buoyed RWA tokens like **Chainlink (LINK)**, **Avalanche (AVAX)**, and **Hedera (HBAR)**, which surged 20–35% monthly . Analysts speculate regulatory clarity here could further legitimize crypto’s role in TradFi .

Bitcoin’s correlation with gold (**0.70**) continues to strengthen, reinforcing its “digital gold” narrative amid global economic uncertainty . Despite recent volatility, institutional demand remains robust, with 2025 corporate BTC acquisitions exceeding **157,000 coins** . ETF inflows ($934M in April) further underscore Bitcoin’s dominance over altcoins like Ethereum, which saw outflows .

**Altcoin Watch**: XRP (+4%) defied the broader dip, while RWA tokens trended upward. Traders eye a potential altseason if BTC stabilizes .

*Key Takeaways*:

- CPI data pivotal for macro crypto sentiment.

- RWA tokens thrive post-SEC roundtable.
