Briefings
US Consumer Price Index data released in October 2025 showed inflation unexpectedly exceeding forecasts, while major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ether experienced significant declines. The report highlights a specific gap in the official data collection process for that month, leaving annual readings unavailable for headline and core inflation calculations.
Key points
- US CPI data released in October 2025 exceeded forecasts, with the headline and core inflation figures missing annual readings due to a data collection gap.
- Bitcoin and Ether both declined in October 2025, with Ether specifically dropping approximately 1.9% around the time the CPI report was released.
Context
This finding is significant because it indicates a potential disconnect between official inflation metrics and actual market conditions, potentially affecting economic policy decisions and investor confidence in digital assets.
Limitations
The evidence is limited to a single article from November 2026 reporting on October 2025 data. Annual readings for headline and core CPI are unavailable, and the specific 1.9% decline for Ether is a snapshot observation rather than a long-term trend.
