As the Federal Reserve’s monetary tightening continues, Bitcoin $ 99,787 remains under pressure. According to economist Timothy Peterson, the Fed’s extensive contraction of the money supply may lead to a deflationary environment, slowing down spending and increasing risks. Peterson argues that the pressure from these policies significantly hinders Bitcoin’s ability to reach its true potential. How Fed’s Tight Policy Affects Bitcoin Peterson criticizes the Fed’s current monetary tightening in his X account post, claiming it reduces the money supply excessively. This contraction, he argues, increases deflation risk, lowers prices, and slows economic growth. As the economy shrinks faster than anticipated, both corporations and individuals face financial constraints. Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market are directly impacted by these policies. Peterson suggests that Bitcoin’s current price could be 30% to 50% below its actual potential. Investors believe easing monetary policies could protect the leading crypto from severe declines. Prolonged impacts might destabilize the cryptocurrency market, impairing innovation and institutional involvement. Increasing BNPL Usage: A Sign of Financial Trouble? Peterson highlights that over 25% of American consumers have turned to Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) credits for grocery shopping, up from 14% the previous year. This rising demand for credit reflects underlying economic difficulties. Although the unemployment rate remains at 4.2%, Peterson underscores that borrowing and spending challenges are becoming widespread. He advises investors to carefully position themselves in the cryptocurrency market and exercise selectivity until the economic outlook becomes clearer.
