one article Research from the New York Fed earlier this week came to the same conclusion.
The Feb. 8 article examines the link between macroeconomic news and bitcoin prices and finds that inflation isn’t the only variable that has a significant impact on bitcoin prices.
Authors, research analysts Gianluca Benigo and Carlo Rosa compiled data from January 2017 to December 2022 to examine the impact of macroeconomic news on different asset classes.
The study considered multiple news categories, including inflation, the real economy, monetary policy and various forward-looking indicators.
The authors expressed surprise at their findings and concluded:
“Unlike other U.S. asset classes, the results show that Bitcoin is not highly correlated with macroeconomic and currency news. This scatter data is confusing because in principle unexpected changes in the discount rate should affect the price of Bitcoin, even if The same goes for understanding it as a purely speculative asset.”
Even as the Federal Reserve continues to raise interest rates at a record pace, bitcoin is off to a strong start in 2023, rising by nearly a third to $21,888 from $16,557.
