The report indicates a 3.7% rise in inflation for August, slightly higher than July’s 3.5%. More encouragingly, annual core CPI—which excludes volatile components like food and energy—registered at 4.3%, lower than last month’s 4.5%. These statistics have stirred hopes that the Federal Reserve might halt interest rate hikes, which in turn could buoy assets like Bitcoin.

The bullish trend isn’t just data-driven; it’s also spurred by growing institutional interest. BlackRock and Fidelity Investments had their spot BTC ETF approvals delayed early this month.
However, Franklin Templeton, with assets worth $1.5 trillion, filed for a Bitcoin ETF on Sept. 12. In the last 24 hours, over $28 million BTC shorts were liquidated, indicating strong bullish momentum.
Considering the robust data, institutional investments, and favorable financial conditions, the future for Bitcoin looks exceedingly bright. A mass adoption trajectory appears imminent, and new financial products like Bitcoin ETFs could revolutionize the market.
