US Inflation Data Released: How Did Bitcoin React?
US inflation data, eagerly awaited by global markets since the beginning of the week, has been released. The July 2025 Consumer Price Index (CPI) results signaled potential reshaping investors' expectations for the Fed's future actions. Cryptocurrency markets, however, turned upwards immediately after the announcement.US inflation data releasedThe July 2025 US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data brought an end to the eager anticipation in markets. According to data released by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), annual inflation was 2.7%, slightly below the market expectation of 2.8%. Annual inflation was also 2.7% in June. Monthly, the CPI increased by 0.2%.The lower-than-expected data has once again raised the possibility of potential scenarios for the US Federal Reserve's (Fed) interest rate policy. According to analysts, this could increase the likelihood of the Fed bringing forward interest rate cuts; however, some market commentators also suggest the Fed may adopt a cautious stance. The potential impact of the Donald Trump administration's tariffs and global trade policies on inflation remains a key concern for investors. The moderate course of core inflation is considered a development that could support risk appetite.The cryptocurrency market reacted quickly and generally positively to the data. As seen in the chart below, Bitcoin experienced a brief surge following the announcement. Ethereum (ETH) continued its upward momentum, trading around $4,309. ETH is seen to have a positive trend of 2-3% throughout the day. Major altcoins are also in the green, and investors are observed to be increasingly interested in risky assets following the macroeconomic data release. Statements from Fed officials in the coming days are expected to influence market expectations.

Trump Considers New Fed Chair Names: Targets Powell with Harsh Remarks
US President Donald Trump made notable statements regarding the appointment process for the new chairman of the US Federal Reserve (Fed). Trump harshly criticized current Fed Chair Jerome Powell, announcing that four strong candidates were being considered for the central bank's chairmanship. This development is being interpreted as a signal that Trump will become more involved in monetary policy in his second term.Trump sharply criticizes Powell: "A political figure"In an interview with CNBC, Trump described Fed Chair Powell as a figure who has lost his independence and acts in accordance with political interests. "Chairman Powell is a very political figure," Trump said, arguing that inflation data is trending positively and that a rate cut is necessary. Powell, on the other hand, adopts a more cautious approach, continuing to consider trade policies and market conditions in interest rate decisions. These differing approaches have long fueled tensions between the two candidates.Trump also provided information about the shortlist for the Fed chairmanship. Trump stated that the list includes four strong candidates, emphasizing that all of them are "high-level and qualified." An announcement regarding this list, which has not yet been made public, was stated to be made "very soon." While Trump declined to name names, it is being speculated that Fed Board Member Christopher Waller and former White House advisor Kevin Hassett are on the list.Scott Bessent left out of the listAnother strong candidate being considered for the Fed chair was current US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. However, Trump announced that Bessent was removed from the consideration list at his own request. Speaking on the matter, Trump said, "I asked him if he wanted to be Fed Chair. He said, 'No, I want to work with you. I want to stay with you.' He wants to keep his current position."Trump's second-term plans are becoming clearDonald Trump's plans for managing the economy are one of the most anticipated topics in the upcoming election campaign. Trump, aiming to increase his influence over the Fed, has begun working on new appointments without waiting for Powell's term to expire in 2026, suggesting he plans to enter his second term with a more interventionist economic policy. This is both shaping market expectations and igniting new debates about the future of independent institutions.
Trump Shields Crypto Sector: Investigation Into "Debanking" Practices Underway
Former US President Donald Trump is preparing to take action against allegations that various sectors, particularly crypto companies, are being excluded from the financial system. According to The Wall Street Journal, Trump is about to sign a comprehensive executive order targeting banks' attempts to block individuals and institutions from accessing financial services for political reasons. The executive order is also expected to examine the "debanking" practices targeting crypto companies.Trump's draft executive order not only investigates whether banks discriminate based on political affiliation but also proposes fines and disciplinary procedures if violations are detected. It will also investigate whether financial institutions violate the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, antitrust laws, and consumer protection regulations. It is rumored that the executive order could be signed this week."Choke Point 2.0" DebatesIt has been frequently stated that the crypto sector has been under intense regulatory pressure, especially during the Biden administration. This process has become known within the industry as "Operation Choke Point 2.0." This operation, first implemented during the Obama administration, aimed to exclude sectors deemed high-risk from the financial system. However, over time, this practice evolved into the exclusion of individuals and institutions deemed politically unsuitable. Especially after 2022, crypto companies and conservative groups argue that they are direct targets of this policy. Trump's executive order aims to end discriminatory policies against crypto companies and conservatives. The executive order will also review the Small Business Administration's lending partnerships, and some cases will be referred to the Department of Justice.Crypto industry voices riseTrump is known to have increasingly adopted a crypto-friendly stance during the campaign. Prominent figures in the crypto industry (such as Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, Gemini founders Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, and Custodia CEO Caitlin Long) have publicly shared their past debanking experiences.Donald Trump's son, Eric Trump, has also stated that he has been subjected to this pressure. World Liberty Financial, one of the crypto projects he manages, and Bitcoin mining firm America Bitcoin stated that they were unable to receive service from banks. "Because my father was in politics, banks excluded us from the system. At that moment, I realized crypto was an alternative way to escape this system," he said, summing up his experience.Banks have begun taking precautionsWith the expectation that the Trump administration will approach crypto more favorably, some banks have begun reviewing their policies. In recent months, banks have even been known to meet with Republican attorneys general to prove they are not politically discriminated against. Trump-appointed regulators (the Fed, the OCC, and the FDIC) have also announced that abstract reasons like "reputational risk" will no longer be considered in customer relationships.

Trump's New Tariffs Hit Crypto: A Liquidation Wave Ensues
Crypto markets had a rather stressful start to August. US President Donald Trump's announcement of new tariffs and the strengthening of the dollar unsettled investors. A sell-off in global markets saw cryptocurrencies bear the brunt of this pressure. The global crypto market capitalization fell approximately 4% to $3.74 trillion, with more than 183,000 investors liquidating and closing positions totaling $758 million.Bitcoin hits $114,000, Ethereum drops below $3,600Bitcoin's price fell to $114,200 following Trump's statements. Although it quickly recovered to above $115,000, volatility remained high. Ethereum (ETH), despite being one of last month's biggest gainers, traded in lockstep with BTC, falling sharply from $3,860 to $3,600. During this period, the dollar index (DXY) rose above 100, its highest level since May. This rise was supported by the global liquidity squeeze and the search for safe havens. According to CoinGlass data, this selling wave in the last 24 hours resulted in a total of $758 million in liquidations. Long positions comprised 93% of these liquidations, or $706.6 million. The largest single liquidation was a $13.79 million ETHUSD_PERP position on Binance. This suggests that many investors expected the bull run to continue in August, but the markets moved in the opposite direction.According to market data, Bitcoin recorded profits of between $6 billion and $8 billion at the end of July. This figure is on par with the peaks in March and December 2024 and indicates the third major wave of profit-taking in this bull cycle. New large investors (whales) are seen selling, particularly in areas above $120,000. Bitcoin is trading at $115,035 at the time of writing, while the fear and greed index is neutral.Altcoins are losing ground: DOGE, ADA, and SUI crashedAltcoins' losses have been even more severe. XRP and Solana prices have fallen by more than 7%, while Cardano (ADA) has lost 8% and SUI by 10%. Dogecoin (DOGE) fell 9% to $0.205. Ethereum, the largest altcoin, is trading at $3,627 with a 6% loss.CryptoQuant reports a boom in altcoin futures trading. While Bitcoin dominance has been flat, futures volumes for coins like Ethereum have increased significantly. ETH is up 170% from its recent lows and is only 23% from its peak. Meanwhile, BTC transactions below $10,000 have increased by 10% in the past month, indicating a resurgence of retail investor interest.Trump's new tariffs: Tensions rising in the global economyTrump's new tariff announcements have further escalated tensions in global trade. The US's imposition of a 10% minimum tariff on all countries, along with a 15% additional tax on countries with a trade surplus, has shaken markets. These developments have impacted not only cryptocurrencies but also traditional finance. S&P 500 futures fell nearly 1% Friday morning. Amazon shares also fell 8% in premarket trading after the earnings report fell short of expectations.The failure of major companies like Microsoft and Meta to satisfy investors despite their strong balance sheets has further weakened risk appetite. Meanwhile, today's US employment data is also critical for markets. Only 100,000 new jobs are expected in July, and the unemployment rate is projected to rise to 4.2%.Trump's aggressive economic moves and the Fed's decision to hold interest rates steady have left markets mired in uncertainty. Cryptocurrency investors are currently caught between two fires: concerns about inflation and interest rate policy on one side, and the re-escalation of global trade wars on the other. In the short term, volatility is expected to remain high, prompting cautious investment behavior.

You can find today’s edition of “Daily Market with JrKripto” below, featuring a roundup of the most important developments from both global and local markets. Let’s analyze the broader market sentiment and latest insights together.Bitcoin has moved away from the range it established at the ATH. The decline following the announcement of global tariffs has closed the CME gap for BTC. The $114,000 area appears to be the first short-term support area.

US Inflation Surprise: What Was the Crypto and Dollar Response?
The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, a key indicator of inflation in the US, rose above expectations in June. The core PCE, the Fed's most closely watched indicator, remained steady at 2.8%, but exceeded expectations, casting a shadow over interest rate cut hopes. Cryptocurrencies reacted negatively to this development.According to data published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis of the US Department of Commerce, headline PCE inflation rose to 2.6% year-over-year in June. This increase followed the revision of May's data from 2.3% to 2.4%. Core PCE, however, remained stable at 2.8%, exceeding expectations of 2.7%. Both figures increased by 0.3% month-over-month. The Fed will not rush to cut interest ratesPCE data is critical to the Fed's monetary policy because it reflects not only price increases but also consumer behavior. In light of the latest data, the likelihood of a rate cut has diminished for September. As you may recall, Fed Chair Jerome Powell, who left interest rates unchanged at 5.25%-5.50% at his July 30th meeting, said there would be no rush to cut interest rates and that future data should be awaited.In his speech, Powell sent a clear message to the markets, stating, "Tariffs are inflationary, employment is strong, upside risks to inflation remain dominant, and we will wait and see before we cut interest rates." These statements were a direct response to President Trump's calls for a rate cut. Trump, however, continues to criticize Powell, calling him a "dunce."Cryptocurrencies fall, stock markets remain on holdThe exceeding expectations of inflation data led to brief selling pressure in the crypto market. Bitcoin fell 0.11% to $118,327, Ethereum fell 0.75% to $3,815, and XRP fell 0.81% to $3.11. BNB fell 0.56%, and Solana fell 1.25% to $177.94. The total cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at $3.88 trillion at the time of writing.However, strong earnings reports from major companies like Microsoft and Meta yesterday may have eased some pressure on crypto assets. However, investors are now focusing on tomorrow's employment data. If these data are also strong, the Fed could be expected to maintain its high interest rate policy for an extended period, potentially leading to a sharper correction for crypto markets.Dollar strengthensFollowing the PCE data, the dollar recouped its losses during the day. The US Dollar Index settled around 99.90. On a weekly basis, the dollar strengthened against all major currencies, particularly the euro. The dollar gained 2.83% against the euro for the week, while it gained 1.58% against the British pound and 1.59% against the Japanese yen.
