Cryptocurrency investment products regained momentum last week as investor confidence improved following lower US inflation data.

The main driver behind the bullish trend in the Crypto Fund market is renewed confidence in further US rate cuts, boosted by lower CPI data released on Friday, according to Coinshares head of research, James Butterfill.

“The ongoing US government shutdown, and the resulting lack of key macroeconomic data, has left investors with little guidance on the direction of US monetary policy,” Butterfill wrote, adding that the CPI data helped restore hope of further rate cuts.
