The post CPI Data Released, US Inflation Rises to 3.8% appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Fresh U.S. inflation data just delivered another upside surprise, reinforcing fears that inflation is heating up again. Headline CPI rose 3.8% year-over-year in November, above the 3.7% forecast and sharply higher than the previous 3.3% reading. Core CPI also climbed to 2.8%, beating expectations. On a monthly basis, core inflation accelerated 0.4%, signaling persistent price pressures across the economy. The hotter-than-expected report could strengthen the Federal Reserve’s “higher for longer” stance, reducing chances of near-term rate cuts and increasing volatility across stocks and crypto markets.

The post Solana ETF Inflows Hint at Growing Institutional Demand appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Solana ETFs recorded $8.4 million in net inflows last week, signaling rising institutional interest in the asset despite broader market uncertainty. Net inflows indicate more capital entered the funds than exited, suggesting steady accumulation from regulated investors rather than speculative retail trading. Analysts note the timing is significant, with SOL still trading near key support levels around $98 — a pattern similar to the early stages of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF adoption cycles. The growing inflows could strengthen the long-term bullish case for Solana.

The post U.S CPI Report Day Could Change Everything for Markets appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

U.S. inflation data drops at 8:30 AM ET today, and markets are preparing for a potentially major shock. March CPI came in at 3.3%, but forecasts for April are now climbing toward 3.7% year-over-year — the highest inflation reading in nearly two years. Rising energy prices tied to Middle East tensions are already pushing costs higher, while tariff impacts have yet to fully hit the data. Core CPI is also expected to rise, strengthening fears that the Federal Reserve may keep interest rates elevated for much longer than investors hoped.

The post CPI Report Today: Inflation Heat Could Shake Markets Again appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Markets are bracing for a hot April CPI report, with economists expecting headline inflation to rise 3.7% year-over-year after March’s sharp 0.9% monthly jump. Surging gasoline prices — fueled by escalating Iran-related oil tensions — were responsible for nearly three-quarters of March’s inflation spike. A stronger-than-expected reading would reinforce the Federal Reserve’s “higher for longer” interest rate stance, potentially pressuring stocks, crypto, and risk assets. Investors now see energy prices and inflation data as the key drivers for the next major market move.

The post Is Bhutan Quietly Exiting Bitcoin? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Bhutan has reportedly moved another 100 BTC — worth around $8.1 million — from government-linked wallets, fueling speculation the country may be accelerating its Bitcoin selloff. According to Arkham data, Bhutan has already sold over $230 million in BTC during 2025 while still holding roughly $252 million. If sales continue near the current pace of $50 million monthly, the kingdom could fully exit its Bitcoin position before September. Even after the selloff, Bhutan would still secure an estimated $767 million profit from its long-term crypto strategy.
