The influence of macroeconomics on crypto valuation remains a fundamental principle for contemporary financial markets. In mid-July, volatility makes its strong return to the market. While investors were scrutinizing charts looking for a recovery signal, the flagship crypto price faltered, reminding us of the influence of monetary policies on risk assets.

The Bitcoin protocol has just activated one of the most powerful self-regulation mechanisms in its recent history, profoundly changing the financial balances of mining operators.
