Cryptocurrency investors encountered meaningful data in 2021 as interest rate hikes took center stage. Beyond PMI, CPI, and PCE figures, employment and consumption data have become essential to track. This increased sensitivity of <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/centrifuge-partners-with-coinbase-and-morpho-to-create-new-credit-market/" data-wpel-link="internal">cryptocurrencies</a> to macroeconomic factors, particularly in a rising interest rate environment, underscores the changing landscape.

Conversely, falling short of expectations, especially with negative values, signifies that consumers are reluctant to spend. This translates to a weakening U.S. economy, which poses additional challenges for the Fed amidst potential rate cuts.
