US CPI held at 3.4% and BTC briefly flash-crashed to $76K before rebounding above $79K — classic volatility around inflation data 📊. ETH stole the spotlight with a 7% surge to $2,600+, fueled by $216M in spot ETF inflows and a short squeeze that liquidated over $1.1B in a single hour. Meanwhile BNB broke through $720 resistance on the back of RWA ecosystem growth, with tokenized Treasury bills on BNB Chain hitting $3.9B. Markets are now pricing ~90% odds of a Fed rate hike next week, so expect continued choppy conditions as traders digest the macro picture. What stands out is institutional demand stepping up even as regulatory and rate uncertainty lingers 🤔
