Bitcoin ETFs are DEMOLISHING Records: "This Is Crazy" | Eric Balchunas

In this episode, Nik delivers a global macro update after CPI misses expectations and bitcoin jumps over 5%. He starts with the latest inflation data and weighs policy motivations at the Federal Reserve. After recapping inflation and very poor retail sales data, Nik goes through the candlesticks of Treasuries, stocks, and bitcoin to measure the market's reaction, which is bullish due to the promise of more liquidity and rate cuts this year. He also notes that TBL is on recession watch and Ethereum death watch.
