 <p>On this week’s episode of <em>Macro Markets</em>, Cointelegraph analyst Marcel Pechman discusses the real <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="estate" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/estate.html">estate</a> markets, highlighting stagnant mortgage demand, attributed to rising rates. With an average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage interest rate of 7.27%, refinancing and home purchase applications have dropped significantly.</p> 
 <p>Still, Pechman speculates that house prices might rise if inflation continues to grow. While some sellers may be distressed, real <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="estate" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/estate.html">estate</a>, especially urban residential, has historically been a <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="reliable" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/reliable.html">reliable</a> store of value. He concludes by highlighting that other investment options may not provide a safer haven in the current economic climate.</p> 
 <p>In the second segment, Pechman discusses Instacart’s initial public offering, which established its valuation at roughly $10 billion, significantly lower than its $39 billion peak valuation. This reflects the challenges faced by venture capitalists in the current economic climate. Pechman suggests a shift in investor metrics, emphasizing the need for a reliable store of value, where cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) could play a role.</p> 
 <p>Pechman notes that not all cryptocurrencies seek growth through user bases and fees. Bitcoin can operate as a transparent reserve system for banks and nations, issuing Bitcoin-backed digital assets without requiring a billion users. This shift in perspective highlights the need for a <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="reliable" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/reliable.html">reliable</a> store of value. Unlike precious metals with auditing challenges, Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies can fill this role regardless of everyday user adoption.</p><iframe width="100%" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TKFaHW_Lft8" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
