Goldman Sachs economist Alexandra Wilson-Elizondo said today’s CPI largely matched expectations, a surface-level outcome investors had wanted, but added that uncertainty around the Federal Reserve’s rate decision next week has increased. Wilson-Elizondo said the latest data does not fully capture some recent price pressures and offers little evidence that inflation is moving back toward target in the near term. The survey period for the report came before the recent rise in energy prices and before commodity pressures spread from energy to metals and agricultural products, Wilson-Elizondo said. The economist added that today’s inflation data does not rule out the possibility of stronger price pressures ahead and suggests the Fed can keep a rate hike on the table without needing to act immediately. Market attention is likely to shift from today’s release to Fed communication, energy prices, labor-market data and subsequent developments, Wilson-Elizondo added.

CME FedWatch showed a 90.4% probability that the Federal Reserve will raise its benchmark rate by 25 basis points in September, up 18 percentage points from 72.4% yesterday, after the U.S. Department of Labor said just moments ago that August consumer price index rose 3.4% from a year earlier, matching market forecasts. CME FedWatch is a rate outlook tool provided by CME Group that calculates the probability of rate changes at upcoming FOMC meetings based on market expectations embedded in pricing for 30-day federal funds futures. As such, the gauge reflects how financial market participants are pricing the rate path rather than the Fed’s official outlook.

CryptoRank’s analysis of 3,757 early-stage crypto projects found many favored launching a token over raising a Series A round as a “graduation path,” according to U.Today. Among the projects tracked by CryptoRank, only 588, or 15.7%, went on to raise a Series A round. The median time from initial fundraising to reaching Series A was 15 months. By contrast, 1,152 projects, or 30.7%, launched a token, and 974 of them did so without raising a Series A round. Only 178 projects, or 4.7% of the total, achieved both a Series A raise and a token launch. CryptoRank said token launches and Series A rounds for crypto projects are closer to alternative “graduation paths” than to the sequential growth stages typical of conventional startups, suggesting many early-stage projects are trying to “graduate” through token issuance rather than moving through traditional venture funding stages.

Bitcoin’s drop to around $58,000 in July has sparked debate over whether it marked the cycle bottom, while on-chain data showed unusually weak dip-buying at the time, Cointelegraph reported. Citing the HODL Waves indicator, on-chain analyst Willy Woo said relatively few investors bought the July dip and that the buying may even have come from a single whale. HODL Waves groups Bitcoin supply by how long each coin has remained dormant in a wallet and displays the data in a wave-like pattern. Within that framework, the share of supply dormant for one to seven days is used to gauge investor buying activity after major BTC price swings. Woo said that when BTC fell to around $58,000 on July 1, local time, the share of supply dormant for one to seven days was just 1.97%. The figure rose only slightly in the following days and reached just 2.35% on July 5. Compared with past BTC bottoms, on-chain activity was relatively limited, he said, adding that dip buyers accumulated slowly and that the buying may have been driven by a single whale, an unusually rare pattern.
