Treasury Secretary Bessent just dropped his outlook: the U.S. economy is on track to close the year with 3% GDP growth. That's a pretty bullish call considering the current macro headwinds.
For those tracking traditional markets and their crypto spillover effects, this matters. Stronger-than-expected GDP usually means continued Fed hawkishness, which historically pressures risk assets. But if growth holds without triggering rate hikes, we might see liquidity conditions stay favorable.
The 3% target isn't just a random number—it signals confidence in consumption and investment momentum. Whether that translates to institutional capital flowing into digital assets or staying parked in bonds depends on how inflation behaves alongside this growth.
Keep watching the data. Macro calls like this shape the broader risk appetite that eventually trickles down to our corner of the market.

A 3% increase sounds good, but I'm worried it's just a number on paper... The real test is on the inflation side.

3% GDP growth sounds good, but what really constrains us is still inflation... Whether institutional funds flow into bonds or into our side all depends on what the Fed does next.

3% GDP growth? Sounds good, but I’ll wait and see. Will the Fed really let go?

3% GDP growth sounds good, but if there’s another round of rate hikes, I really can’t take it anymore... Will institutions actually enter the market, or will they just keep holding onto their bonds and sleeping?
