The constant interaction between traditional macroeconomics and the crypto market has just passed a new decisive milestone on an international scale. While the US Federal Reserve (Fed) has maintained a strict monetary policy for months, the release of the latest economic indicators has shaken all investors' certainties.

In this context, Chainlink reports a significant increase in its adoption with an unprecedented number of Ethereum wallets holding LINK tokens.

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. This drop directly stems from an adjustment of investors’ expectations regarding the upcoming decisions of the US Federal Reserve (Fed), ahead of the publication of a key report on inflation.

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.

The debate around the evolution of the Bitcoin network is experiencing a new episode with the BIP-110 proposal, designed to limit non-monetary transactions and certain data considered undesirable.
