#CryptoCPIWatch Monthly inflation projections:
Overall CPI: +0.3% month over month
Core CPI: +0.3% month over month
TD Securities analysts predict a widespread slowdown in inflation, noting that housing costs and goods prices may decrease, contributing to a relief trend.
How CPI data could affect the Federal Reserve's rate decision
The Federal Reserve has expressed caution regarding rate cuts, with Chairman Jerome Powell stating last week that economic conditions remain "solid," but inflation must cool further before considering monetary relief.
Markets have already priced in 85 basis points (bps) of rate cuts in 2025, but persistent inflation could force the Fed to maintain an aggressive stance. On the other hand, softer inflation data could solidify expectations for rate cuts to begin in June or July.
Impact scenarios:
CPI lower than expected (below 2.9%) → Fed rate cuts may accelerate, USD weakens, risk assets rebound (crypto, stocks).
CPI higher than expected (above 3.0%) → Fed maintains a restrictive policy, USD strengthens, stocks and cryptocurrencies decline.

$XRP Why did XRP rise yesterday? Key reasons revealed
In a single trading day in New York, $XRP surged nearly 10%, reflecting a fierce bidding across the entire digital asset complex, and closed on Thursday, May 8, at its highest level in about two weeks. Analysts attribute this rally to a combination of macroeconomic relief, order book dynamics, and renewed positioning in the altcoin season: factors that coincided in a limited timeframe and amplified each other.
The calmer outlook led global macroeconomic analysts to a risk-on stance just as New York opened, and Bitcoin responded first, catapulting to the psychologically charged level of $100,000, thanks to strong spot demand. The vertical movement forced short sellers to buy back their exposure; that "short squeeze", by definition self-reinforcing, quickly spread to major altcoins and propelled XRP along with the rest of the market.

The reason? This alliance goes straight to the heart of traditional financial power:
Monetary sovereignty
State digital currencies

#BTCBreaks99K Un Powell timidly pushed bitcoin towards 100,000 dollars
Bitcoin recovered price levels not seen for more than 2 months.
The market was expecting something, anything. A hint, a wink, a loose phrase that would allow projecting what the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) will do with interest rates for the rest of the year.
But Jerome Powell, the Fed chairman, spoke and said nothing. Or, more precisely, he said a lot without saying anything. His speech was timid, lacking conviction, predictable, and more fitting for an artificial intelligence chatbot than for the president of the most influential central bank in the world.
There was no rate cut, as was anticipated. Nor were there signs that one is approaching. But also none that it is not approaching. "Wait and see" remains the Fed's monetary policy. Powell again hinted that decisions will be made meeting by meeting, and that everything depends on the evolution of inflation and employment. Clichés, neutral, worn-out phrases. At this point, listening to Powell is like listening to the same audiobook on repeat.
And yet, bitcoin rises. While Powell was speaking—or mumbling his ambiguity with technical manners—the price of bitcoin (BTC) began to climb. And this Thursday it is trading again above 99,000 dollars, at its highest level since early March. At times, the digital currency flirts with 100,000 dollars, a mark it has not touched for more than two months.

#XRPETF The SEC approves the launch date of the ProShares XRP ETF.
In a major milestone for the crypto industry, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially approved a public launch date for the ProShares Trust XRP ETF.
According to information shared by Cointelegraph, the ETF is expected to go public on April 30, 2025.
The approval, confirmed through a registration statement on Form N-1A, represents a significant expansion of the cryptocurrency ETF landscape. Until now, much of the regulatory progress had focused on Bitcoin and Ethereum products, making XRP's entry into the ETF market a fundamental development.
What This Means for XRP and the Crypto Market in General
ProShares, a firm known for pioneering the first Bitcoin futures ETF in the United States, is now set to provide investors with easier and regulated exposure to XRP, one of the oldest and most established cryptocurrencies in the market.
With the public launch date set for April 30, all eyes will be on XRP's market performance as the new ETF becomes available.
If past patterns hold, the added liquidity and visibility could provide a significant tailwind for XRP in the months to come.
For cryptocurrency investors and market watchers alike, April 30 may mark another historic date in the evolution of investment in digital assets.
