Crypto markets moved sharply higher after a cooler-than-expected June U.S. inflation reading, with Bitcoin trading around $64,600 and Ethereum near $1,880 as traders reacted within minutes of the CPI release. Decrypt’s Morning Minute said June CPI fell 0.4% month over month, the largest monthly drop since April 2020, while the annual rate slowed to 3.5% from 4.2% in May and landed below the 3.8% expectation. Core CPI came in at 2.6% and was flat on the month. The move triggered a rapid rally across majors, pushed BTC as high as $64,900 from roughly $62,000, lifted ETH 7% to $1,884, and led to about $300 million in short liquidations. The newsletter also highlighted a series of policy and industry developments unfolding alongside the macro move. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, in testimony before Congress, said elevated inflation remains unacceptable and rejected the idea that the latest CPI report meant the job was done.

Robinhood Chain also saw a sharp rotation out of earlier meme leaders and into new launchpad and RWA-related names.
