Novogratz explains realities of US economy
The CEO said cryptoers are getting bearish on Jerome Powell’s appointment following the change in the Marco story.
He noted that inflations are high in bad ways in the US, questioning what the fed would do.
“We have inflation showing up, you know, in pretty bad ways in the US So, we can see, is the Fed going to have to move a little faster … That would slow all assets down. It would slow the Nasdaq down. It would slow crypto down if we have to start raising rates much faster than we thought.
He noted that the US is experiencing its highest inflation in 30 years. At 6.2 percent annually, the consequences are already starting to ripple through the rest of the world, with 39 of the 46 world’s largest economies showing higher inflation year-on-year.
